afternoon hours with bright sunshine and less wind. windchills are not going to be a huge factor. just feel like readings are a few degrees below the actual temperature. it will feel like the mid-30s during the afternoon hours. in your seven-day accuweather forecast, the difference on thursday a few degrees milder but some high thin clouds that may filter the sun, more cloudy in the south of new york city. still a nice day. friday should start out sunny. this front's taking its time. i think we don't see any raindrops until friday evening. i'd have your umbrella ready for friday evening plans. i think it will be fairly light with this front coming through. then this question mark with this upcoming weekend. rain is going to return friday night into saturday. the question is is it just a morning rain or is it all day. i'm leaning toward it lasting towards lunchtime or light rain and shutting off. a heavier rain is a possibility at night. still some debate on sunday whether it's a soaker or a lighter rain. we are going to get a good drenching on sunday.

much colder early next week. then will the cold air be coupled with a storm this time. right now i don't think so. i think we could get some snow showers, especially in our northern suburbs. it might be more significant, measurable snows for new england. this one looks like it's probably away from us or out to sea, and that time period's around next wednesday. still very early. initial look at the overall weather pattern doesn't look like it would hug the coast. certainly getting colder again. >> thank you lee. millions of refugees have fled syria and among them a family now settling in new jersey. the husband and his wife who is now pregnant along with their five children have had a long journey from their homeland to paterson. >> with more on how they're doing and what they're facing, here's eyewitness news reporter tim fleischer. >> we're extremely grateful to be here. >> here in america where m a, rad and ola can feel secure, protected and 3-year-old rama and their four other children can receive a good education. the syrian refugees speaking no
