further to the south, lightly out over the boston area. to the west, a break between batches of steady rain. fall river through taunton and bridge water and eventually the warmer air will take control slowly tonight. we see plymouth is at 42 degrees. boston is at 34. there's a coastal front right in here. you notice that lighter blue shading? actually feels amazing outside. 34 never felt so good. i walked outside a while ago. but the cold air across the interior will be tough to budge. so tomorrow morning, especially in the northern parts of wooster county, middlesex county. connecticut, river valley, if you're headed there. the last places to warm up. and icy out the door for your tuesday. the good news here and the saving grace, everything will be spotty overnight. so lighter freezing rain accumulation not enough to cause power outage concerns or bring down trees or limbs. travel still treacherous. then we get a break. mostly tomorrow, a couple showers. all the rain comes in one batch with the cold front moving through. it'll really come
