HANDS, I’M TELLING YOU, THEY BRING THE JAZZ HANDS. YES. HEY, BY THE WAY, WE’RE ALL IN PURPLE. YES, FOR INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY. YES, INDEED. YES. WELL, SHE SAID, WEAR YOUR PURPLE. AND IT’S A NICE DAY FOR IT TO JUST CAME TO MY DESK. WHERE ARE YOUR PURPLE. PURPLE. YEAH, SHE REALLY DID. HEY, WE’VE GOT YELLOW RETURNING, A LITTLE BLUE RETURNING COLOR OTHER THAN GREEN. IT’S BEEN SUCH A WET MONTH. FIVE DAYS SO FAR THIS MONTH WITH RAIN. BUT NOT TODAY. WE’RE GETTING BACK SOME SUNSHINE TODAY. SOME BLUE SKY TODAY. ENJOY IT. SOAK IT IN. BECAUSE YEAH, MORE RAIN COMING IN THIS WEEKEND. SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING. THAT IS THE FOCUS. IT’S GOING TO MOVE IN AND OUT PRETTY QUICKLY, BUT IT WILL PACK A PUNCH. DRIER AIR BEHIND IT THOUGH IS GOING TO BE WITH US MUCH OF NEXT WEEK. IT’S LOOKING LIKE A BRIGHTER PATTERN, QUIETER PATTERN NEXT WEEK AS WELL. HERE IS THE STORM THOUGH FOR THE WEEKEND. SO OUT AHEAD OF IT TODAY WE’VE GOT SOME DRIER AIR WE WILL ENJOY THE RAINFALL WITH THIS NEXT STORM. PROBABLY GOING TO BE CLOSE TO AN INCH YET AGAIN, SO THIS MAY EXACERBATE SOME OF THE FLOODING ISSUES THAT WE’VE HAD OVER THE PAST WEEK OR SO. SO SO KEEP THAT IN MIND IF YOU LIVE NEAR A RIVER AND A STREAM. DRIER AIR THOUGH, COMING IN BEHIND YESTERDAY’S STORM. SO OVERNIGHT THE CLOUDS HAVE PUSHED OFFSHORE. STILL A FEW PATCHES HERE ON THE CAPE, BUT HERE TO YOUR SKIES SHOULD BRIGHTON AND THE WIND STILL HANGING ON ON THE CAPE WERE GUSTING OVER 20 AND 30MPH, GETTING A GUST TO 41MPH. RIGHT NOW ON NANTUCKET. SO STILL BREEZY AND CHILLY OUT THERE WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE MID AND UPPER 30S. BUT WHERE THE SKIES CLEARED FIRST. LOOK AT THAT. WE’RE DOWN TO 29 DEGREES IN ORANGE SUNSHINE, THOUGH. WILL BOOST OUR TEMPERATURES BACK UP TODAY WITH THAT NORTHEASTERLY WIND. WE’RE 44 AT NOONTIME IN BOSTON, SNEAKING UP INTO THE MID 40S THERE TODAY. COULD TOUCH 50 IN A FEW SPOTS FROM NASHUA BACK TO ORANGE UPPER 40S NORWOOD COOLEST SPOT TODAY WITH THAT NORTHEASTERLY WIND. SOUTH EASTON MASSACHUSETTS PLYMOUTH OUT TO THE CAPE. WE’RE RIGHT AROUND OR JUST OVER 40 DEGREES, BUT HEY, WE’LL HAVE THE SUNSHINE TODAY. CLOUDS. THEY ROLL BACK IN TONIGHT. TEMPERATURES, THOUGH BEFORE THEY DO WILL DROP AND WE’LL BE DOWN IN THE UPPER 20S TO NEAR THE FREEZING MARK BY TOMORROW MORNING, SO IT’S A CHILLY START ON SATURDAY. IT’S A MAINLY CLOUDY BUT A DRY DAY. RAIN COMES IN IN THE EVENING. WE ARE STUCK IN THE 40S, COMING UP ON SATURDAY, AND YOU CAN SEE BY 5:00 RAIN JUST STARTING TO GET INTO THE WESTERN PART OF THE STATE, SO IT’LL BE AFTER SUNSET WHEN THIS PUSHES INTO MUCH OF THE AREA. AND INITIALLY WHAT’S THIS? COULD BE A FLAKE OR TWO OF SNOW HERE UP IN THE MONADNOCK REGION. THE NORTHERN WORCESTER HILLS, BRIEFLY IN THE BERKSHIRES, BUT QUICKLY GOES TO RAIN AND LOOK MIDNIGHT. IT IS POURING WEE HOURS OF THE MORNING POURING, BUT BY SEVEN 8:00, MOST OF THAT HEAVY RAIN IS OFFSHORE. WE’RE LEFT WITH SOME LINGERING AREAS OF LIGHT RAIN AND SHOWERS, BUT BUT THOSE ARE GONE BY NOONTIME, SO MOST OF YOUR SUNDAY IS DRY. WE WILL HAVE A FAIR AMOUNT OF CLOUDS AND CERTAINLY SOME WIND. SO IN TERMS OF ANY SNOW REALLY UP IN SKI COUNTRY, THAT IS WHERE THAT WILL HAVE AN IMPACT. AND AS THIS STORM COMES IN THE WIND IS GOING TO CRANK FROM THE SOUTH AND EAST INITIALLY AND THEN SHIFT TO THE SOUTH AND WEST. SO WE ARE CONCERNED WITH THE THREAT FOR COASTAL FLOODING. THERE IS A COASTAL FLOOD. WATCH. LOOK AT THESE WIND GUSTS UP NEAR 50MPH EARLY IN THE MORNING. AND BY MIDDAY THAT WIND IS SHIFTING AROUND TO THE SOUTHWEST. THAT IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE THAT IS WHEN WE HAVE OUR HIGH TIDE JUST AFTER 1150 IN THE MORNING, COULD HAVE SOME MINOR COASTAL FLOODING WITH THAT ONE, WITH THAT SOUTHWESTERLY WIND, A 2 TO 3 FOOT STORM SURGE. SO WE’RE WATCHING FOR THE POTENTIAL OF THAT COASTAL FLOODING HERE ON SUNDAY. AND DON’T FORGET, WE DO TURN THOSE CLOCKS AHEAD ONE HOUR THIS WEEKEND. SO SUNDAY SET ON SUNDAY EVENING AT QUARTER TO SEVEN. AND SPEAKING OF THE SUN, LOOK AT THAT. SEVERAL DAYS OF IT NEXT WEEK. SO A BRIGHTER DRY PATTERN NEXT WEEK. BUT ONE MORE STORM TO GET THROUGH THIS WEEKEND. WE ARE NOT USED TO ALL THESE
