the mass Turnpike. So if that's the way you're heading,
make sure you have the wipers on because you'll need them.

the east, so everybody may get under a shower or
even some occasional rain as we head into the early evening.
It's not an exceptional amount of rain. It's not like
yesterday for sure, but nonetheless more rain, which is probably
not what you wanted to hear. As we go later
into the night, just clouds hanging around. Forty nine clouds
with breaks of sun tomorrow. I did say sun, just
