about mid-day. now, you see south and east of us and south and west of us it doesn't look like a whole lot going on. but what i'm watching for later on this afternoon into this evening is this thin band of rain just off the coastline of the mid atlantic. this will continue to expand and move northbound and essentially work right across southeastern mass and southeastern mass as we get into the afternoon and through the evening hours, providing us with the chance of more widespread rain. and again, you can see by noontime today, not too bad. you know, we're dry through lunch for a lot of us here, at least dry around lunchtime. maybe that passing sprinkle or that shower this morning. but i really think it's going to be from mid-afternoon through the evening hours, the best chance of some steadier rain working back in will occur here. you can see that going through this evening. especially along the 95 stretch east toward the coastline. down through the cape and the islands. you get out to worcester. and up into nashua, new hampshire, maybe one-tenth of an inch, two-tenths of an inch of rain from this system.

will be further off to the south and east, perhaps over an inch of rain over portions of the cape. late tonight into early tomorrow morning, this forecast model showing a little blue. there it's possible colder air will start to work on in if there is any leftover moisture. there may be a couple flakes that mix in with some of the raindrops toward the end here, but i'm not expecting any accumulating snow or anything like that. tomorrow morning we're dry. so the morning commute tomorrow is fine. the falling rain is over and commute. about? we could end up with close to a half inch in the city of boston. best chance for an inch of rain down through the cape and the islands. and substantially lower amounts north and west of town. there's going to be a sharp cut-off in this precipitation, so the rainfall amounts do taper off quite a bit north and west of boston. look at the cold air out through chicago. 11 degrees right now. 17 in green bay. this is the cool air mass that's going to come in here from monday and tuesday. we're talking about temperatures hard pressed to get above 40 degrees for the high. then we'll moderate that trend, mid to late week. it remains dry.

wednesday, thursday, friday, up and down the eastern seaboard. and mid-week, could be a mess out into the middle part of the country, but for us travel weather across new england wednesday and thursday looks just fine. so an a.m. passing shower. steadiest rain mid to late afternoon, especially across eastern mass and southeastern mass. 47 in the worcester hills today. low 50s in boston. mid-50s down across the cape. cool forecast on monday and tuesday, but look at that, nice, dry weather monday right through friday. get a passing shower or two at the cold front on saturday. >> sanika: chris, thanks so much. >> anchor: america's most beloved ballpark hosted a different kind of event last night. this was so cool the watch. boston college taking the field against notre dame in the first football game at fenway park in almost 50 years. yeah, football at fenway. the crowds certainly showed up in full force to support the eagles, but the eagles fell to the fighting irish. in the end a lot of notre dame fans there, as well. despite the final score, the crowd showed b.c. football theory doug flutie and his
