they tend to favor western new england over eastern new england, but i still wouldn't rule it out. it's a low chance, but i don't want to say a zero chance. there i don't expect it to be completely widespread. i think more of a widespread issue would be the locally heavy rain and the and stronger thunderstorms that roll on through. so we'll track these scattered storms. a few may be late morning, early afternoon. muggy day. once you increase that humidity on the other side of the warm front, temperatures running into the mid-80s. evening storms tonight fading out overnight. mild and muggy night. temperatures back into the 70s. then we'll start to lower that humidity tomorrow. breezy day back into the mid to upper 80s. overall not bad. heat that we had the last several days. cooler at the coast over the weekend. upper 70s coast, mid-80s inland. ism wild weather doing damage in indiana. tornadoes touching down in several parts of the state. you can see a number of homes were damaged and several power lines were knocked down. people were without power for most of the night. thankfully

here you go, we've got clouds across southern new england. the radar, it looks like rain across southern new england. but there's just a couple of sprifngles. in fact, jadiann when we were in the commercial bre there's a couple sprinkles out there. i think that's all you'll have to deal with for the next several hours. up until sunset. later on this evening this band begins to work up into southern new england, overnight tonight and into early tomorrow morning. the doppler radar, again, looks like we've got rain out there, but again a few showers possible, mid to late evening. i think before that time some sprinkles, from a cool front, which is slowly moving out of canada. so for tonight, we'll have linger into tomorrow morning. the morning commute tomorrow does look like there will be a couple of showers, perhaps a downpour. i don't think anything significant or severe. then as we step through the date tomorrow, we slowly move the shower threat away from metro boston. it still may linger for you folks in the cape and islands into tomorrow af

we'll have a weather system coming into new england which in new england. there is not much humidity. i don't want it say it's crisp, dry air but certainly backed off from the last few days. this is where that humidity is today as wells a warm front and so the front will deliver the goods if you will through the day tomorrow with clouds and a scattering of showers and storms as well as higher humanity. here is your time line at 7:00 tomorrow morning. a few isolated showers and storms possible, then as woe work into the afternoon here comes the warm front, now the thing about these warm fronts is sometimes they can lead to thunderm and when you are talking about a rotating thunderstorm the possibility of a tornado is on the table. i don't want to be the boy that cried wolf but i do think there may be stronger thunderstorms in southern new england tomorrow afternoon. more so western new england than our part of the world but here we are tomorrow evening that looks like a stronger storm so the threat is going to be there. we'll talk more about that coming up i

from northern new england to southern new england back to upstate new york through pennsylvania, i do expect quite a bit of sunshine throughout the day. in fact, we need the layer up that sunscreen heading out to the beach on the golf course this afternoon. quiet weather extending back into the next couple days. by the time we get into wednesday, we do start the watch the return of moisture slide off to the east. what will happen as the warm front approaches from the west and the cold front after that warm front and the combination of the two, a chance for a couple isolated storms on wednesday afternoon into wednesday night. i think we get this front off to the east of us on thursday. behind this front, there is plenty of warm air and muggy air. that's going to be the other so we enjoy a comfortable couple days here with low humidity and then all of a sudden those dew points ramp up by mid-to-late week. we'll stay there even as we enter the weekend. 83 to 88 this afternoon, a beautiful day with that low humidity, light sea breezes along the coastline. cape ann, cape cod, temperatures
