Video: Clear, cool tonight

1 week ago | wcvb.com | A.J. Burnett

THEY CAME FROM THE NORTH AND WEST, AND WE HAPPEN TO BE LOOKING AT A NORTH NORTHERLY DIRECTION. AND THIS IS WHAT WE’RE KIND OF SEEING, AT LEAST SHOWN ON RADAR HERE. SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS. THESE ARE MOSTLY WEAK. THEY’RE FLEETING. THEY’RE QUICK MOVING. BUT YOU GOT ONE DROPPING SOUTH OUT OF PETERBOROUGH, HEADING TOWARD ASHBY. IT LOOKS LIKE WINCHENDON. WINCHENDON JUST GOT RID OF ONE OF THEM. LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER ONE JUST DEVELOPED JUST WEST OF TROY, HEADING DOWN TOWARD ORANGE. HERE. AGAIN, THESE ARE FLEETING.

THE WET SUIT AIR. GO. THAT’S. LOOK, WE’VE GOT A LOT OF TIME FOR THOSE WATER TEMPERATURES TO WARM UP. THEY DON’T REALLY REACH THEIR PEAK UNTIL LIKE LATE AUGUST, EARLY SEPTEMBER. SO WE’VE GOT A WAYS TO GO. IN THE MEANTIME, MAYBE YOU WEREN’T AT THE BEACH TODAY. MAYBE YOU WERE INLAND AND YOU SAW A LOT OF THESE PUFFY CLOUDS, AND YOU’RE PROBABLY STILL SEEING THEM WHEN YOU LOOK UP IN THE SKY AND WONDERING, WOW, THEY’RE PRETTY BEAUTIFUL OUT THERE UNDERNEATH.

AND YEAH, WE’LL TAKE IT BECAUSE WE HAVE TO, RIGHT? BUT TOMORROW I THINK WE’LL KIND OF DO THIS AGAIN, BUT JUST MAYBE WITH LESS WIND. SO I MEAN, TOMORROW MAY BE JUST A SMIDGE BETTER THAN TODAY. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT WE’RE CELEBRATING, MOM, TODAY CAN’T GET ANY BETTER THAN THAT. 70 DEGREES FOR A HIGH TEMPERATURE. TODAY IS WHAT WILL GO DOWN IN THE BOOKS FOR BOSTON. TODAY THE AVERAGE IS 65. SO WE WERE FIVE ABOVE AVERAGE. NOWHERE NEAR THAT RECORD OF 91 SET BACK IN 1993. SUNSET TIMES. LET’S TALK ABOUT THOSE TONIGHT.

MAYBE BRIGHTON MILD 1ST MAY START TO SEE A LITTLE BIT OF A WIND KICK UP JUST A BIT. THOSE WINDS COULD GUST UP TO ABOUT 25MPH.

INVESTIGATES. ALL RIGHT. WE’LL LOOK FORWARD TO THAT REPORT. BRITTANY. THANK YOU. NOW WE ARE TURNING TO THE WEATHER. AND RAIN IS THE STORY ONCE AGAIN. IT IS. I MEAN, AT LEAST IT’S COMING IN TODAY AND HOPEFULLY MOVING OUT. WE HOPE QUICKLY. A.J. YEAH, I THINK WE’RE GOING TO PUT ANOTHER CHECK MARK IN THE COLUMN OF AT LEAST SOME RAIN THIS WEEKEND. BUT THAT THAT’S THAT’S THE WORST OF THE NEWS, RIGHT? I THINK IT TURNS MUCH BETTER THE DEEPER INTO THE WEEKEND WE GO. AND THAT’S IMPORTANT FOR MOTHER’S DAY.
