5:49 pm
southwesterly breeze out there. temperature wise, we are in the 20s for the most part and worcester is down to 19 degrees. a and across the northeast a winter air mass cleveland at 16. buffalo 16 and pittsburgh at 15. and a little more like it right? take a look at tonight. it will be a cold one. diminishing wind clear skies and low 7 to 15 for post towns 19 in downtown boston. tomorrow, watching a little weak system that's diving through the great lakes this is not as strong as the one we saw yesterday. owe -- so we might get a few snowflakes and clouds increasing for tomorrow morning and starting the day a few snow thundershowers or flurry possible here. not expecting a lot of accumulation. really no accumulation but a few snowflakes. it wouldn't be that shocking to start things out. and more sunshine heading towards lunch and through the afternoon. so all told, just a winter day. we are looking at temperatures in the morning -- tolled just a wint are day. we are looking at temperatures in the morning. and clouds midday not as windy as today and we will faulk through the 20s tomorrow.
5:50 pm
getting litter every day. high temp of 32 in plymouth. mid-20s around worcester and jaffrey at 26 for a high temp. most the focus is on the weekend storm system. trend has been farther towards the east which is good news if you are not look for a big saturday impact. maybe bad news for the snow lovers out there. and what we are looking at is a quick moving system that will be gone by early saturday afternoon and drying out through the afternoon and into the evening. so an early estimate here i think mainly rainfall anywhere near the coastline southeast massachusetts and maybe a mix of rain and wet snow. a wet snow that would have a tough time accumulating because the air temps are so marginal and it's so wet it will melt. best chance of pure snow well to the north. pertaining to the patriots upper 30s at kick off. storm is gone and drying out and gusty and cold heading through the the game itself. into the low 30s and the wind
5:51 pm
so i think we might get lucky enough before it is gone by tailgate time heading out there around noon in foxboro. here's accu-weather 7-day. another storm system monday night and we have a school yard shout out today and it's a barry burbank school visit tracy elementary school in lynn. 200 second and third graders here. love the school motto. do something nice for somebody else just because you can. good advice for all of us. >> excellent. good role models. >> absolutely. >> well from good role models to this woman. people in california fuming over a stolen package. surveillance cameras capturing the woman prancing away with a little girl's birthday present. you can see her skipping as she stole the gift off a frontch porch in san -- front porch if san jose and danced her way to another house where she grabbed the mail. police are still looking for her tonight.
