We are looking at a more cloudy morning here. We've had some beautiful mornings all week long, and then we've had those really hot afternoons. We're waking up pretty muggy this morning, and although the temperature is not going to be as bad as it has been over the past three days, it's still going to be muggy and humid out there. We will have some sunshine popping up, also showers and thunderstorms later on, as we will have highs
getting up into the mid eighties. For tonight, we're partly cloudy, down to a low near seventy. Beautiful air. Tomorrow we're completely changing and it's going to feel a whole lot more comfortable. Mid seventies, and we'll have plenty of sunshine all the way through your Friday, and then we clear back up again on Saturday as well, a high of eighty degrees in Boston. You're a bit warmer heading north and west of town, and then Sunday we're back up
around ninety. Once again. We're going to have a bit of a roller coaster heading into next week. Will be hot one day and then cool the next, so certainly be following up on that, but the weekend should be pretty good. Here seventy five right now with a couple of clouds around.
