of the rockies and head down to the gulf coast tomorrow and become a larger storm system. tomorrow's calling card is going to be severe weather across the gulf coast and it starts to wind up and runs into colder airheading into friday. by friday afternoon washington, d.c. by saturday afternoon, you can see that northern edge that we have been talking about is right along our shorelines. we are on the nice edge. i don't think it's going to be a major convenient for us. i think most of the heavy stuff stays just out to sea. but time to make a little call here. so where's the highest risk of maybe seeing a half foot of snowfall and that's significant snow. highest risk is in far southeastern massachusetts. closer to that storm. but as soon as you go north there's going to be a very sharp cut off -- cut off between snow and nothing at all. a very low impact with a coating to maybe an inch of snowfall and that includes the city of boston. we are looking at maybe a couple inches in the city and right now i think that's going to be about it.

an impact. when would it move in. we see the first flakes saturday afternoon evening and in the south coast and cape peak snow and wind is saturday night and winding down on sunday morning. much more about this and look forward to next week coming up in bit. >> and remember you can get the latest weather including updates on this weekend's storm any time with the cbs boston weather app and it's free in the google or apple app stores. going head to head for the phenyl time? two future hall of famers. tom brady and peyton manning are talking about what it means to face-off sunday for the chanceto then play in the super bowl on the excitement for the afc championship game is building. >> tonight one of the patriots maybe a lifesaver we have live team coverage tonight in foxboro and in denver. but we start with jim smith live at gillett stadium with heroic tale that's confirmed moments ago. jim. >> reporter: that's right david. you know so often we hear the phrase hero when it comes to the patriots and 99% of the

about a hero being the guy that scores the touchdown. but this is a tale of a real life hero. pats rese of linebacker darius fleming who saved and rescued the victim of a car accident. it's quite a story. the story unfolded on route 1 last thursday night just north of gillette stadium near a dunkin donuts. patriots reserve linebacker darius fleming was on his way home from practice and noticed an accident and a woman trapped in a burning car. he ended up kicking out one of the windows and getting her out safely. >> the smoke inside the car freaked me out and so i was look i can't tell her i will be back like get out and i started kicking it kicking with my right leg and eye didn't break right away and i wasn't sure eyeite would break but the >> reporter: fleming was hurt during the rescue cutting his leg requiring more than 20 stitches in his right calf.

saturday night's game impressinghis teammates. >> we have great guys no matter the time playoffs regular season always iamb in the community trying to save people. >> darius has been a stand up guy since he got here and when i heard the story, i wasn't surprised at all. >> reporter: pats fans say that's just the patriots way. >> i think it's good to see like the athletes like going out of their way to help regular day people every day things. i think like embodies the patriot way the way you think of putting everyone above themselves. >> i think that's really good thing of him to do and something for younger kids to look up to other than them being good at playing to the ball. >> reporter: here again a real life patriots hero and just a few minutes ago we reached to a witness to all this up the street from gillette stadium who went outside and saw the accident scene and saw somebody who looked like a football player obviously rendering aid and we also got ahold of the walpole police statement

from the lady who was pulled out of the vehicle she says "he kicked in my window and i think he was a patriot he kicked in my window and i think he was a patriot. so, it's all quite a story and subplot to the game but this was real life and a good job bydarius fleming. jim smith wbz news. >> thank you and patriots would like nothing more than to play in super bowl 50 steve burt n is -- burton is live at the ready. >> they are ready. and they have each other's backs and that's a good thing. especially when it comes to name calling. broncos taking shots at tom preyedy -- brady and levan reid and the patriots call that bulletin board material. >> reporter: so maybe belichick saw the headlines and told the team to focus. >> we are focused on the denver broncos and the game.

a cry baby. he dealt with name calling in the past and instead of it getting under his skin it motivates him. >> i am not sure what the other quarterbacks do if the refs want to throw flags i love when they throw the flags on defenders. >> reporter: and face it it's the group in the locker room that really matters. they have his back. >> we know tom is motivated by anything they say but every warterback if they get hit late or guys go after their legs they will be whining that's protecting yourself not whining winner. >> reporter: broncos defensive send antonio smith started the doesn't get it. tom brady is a superstar. so just like michael jordan and larry bird and even big popi they have the ability to work the refs that's what superstars do antono smith, normal player.

at gillette stadium levan reid. >> one hern to stays in their lane is dan roche in denver with their side of the story. danny. >> reporter: they are sinning a different tune in denver. nob of the -- none the cry barry -- cry baby stuff but as far as today it was getting ready for a very good new england patriots team and it's the patriots versus denver for the winner a trip to super bowl 50 in san francisco but we get to talk about the matchup that historical matchup and let's get to it. tom brady and peyton manning again. yes. the 39-year-old manning will be battling the 38-year-old brady for the 17th time in the title game. and it never gets old. one comparison for the personal rifery is -- istlery is larry bird and magic johnson from the nba days something i asked manning about today. >> i grew up a huge larry bird

some of the old posters with larry and magic in the very short shorts i know how hard i worked to play this long and so, when i look across you know at patriots and see tom brady is the quarterback i know how hard he worked as well. and to play as well as he has over the course of his career with the success he has had and team success i just have lot of respect for him. >> reporter: and, of course, brady is 9-3 in the regular season against peyton manning and they are 2-2 in the playoffs and so steve a pretty big tie breaker coming on sunday here in denver. from the training facility at the broncos now back to a guy i am sure wore the short shorts really well during his basketball days steve burton. >> thanks very much. and i will say this about patriots they are 3 point favorites against denver. the line moved a little bit. let's go back to you. >> thanks. our nice but misguided

difference an hour makes. stocks staged a comeback in thefinal hour of trading finishing about 249 points lower at 1 point the dow was down 565 points and really this is all about the falling price of oil. that's what sparked the initial sell off oil prices are trading at 12-year low and supply is down. this is great news at the gas pump. national average well below $2 a gallon mark but it's bad for energy companies and hundreds of thousands of those who work tore them and that has rip -- work for them and that has ripple effect. >>i don't know how others are feeling but i am worried panicked about my 401k can. tell me i shouldn't be. >> reporter: you know what most analysts would say don't panic they would say hang tight. traders do think the market still has not bottomed out especially because oil prices

but eventually the markets do climb back up. so david one trader told me he is not panicking and he is not not panicking make of that what you will. i don't think that's going to necessarily make you feel better but, there you go. >> i have a friend in finance who says it's a good time to buy things on sale. we shall see. jill wagner thanks so much appreciate it. now at 5, skyeye methuen high school the site of another threat students collecting backpacks after police inspected the bags one by one. now this morning's bomb threat came a day after a similar threat affected more than a dozen schools in our state. ken macleod is live with the latest. ken. >> reporter: lisa almost all of the school threats in massachusetts yesterday and friday were phoned in but the ones here in meth iewn and

about what's headed our way heading towards the weekend. we know we have plenty of cold air so we have a big arctic high pressure in the middle of the country. one system sliding out to the east to the south of us apartment main energy for the weekend storm is cascading down front range of the rockies heading towards the golf -- gulf can you coast and develop into a major east coast storm. 30 in boston of the not as bad as yesterday. 28 in lawrence hyannis at 31. tonight chilly falling back into the teens. mostly cloudy skies a brisk breeze not as blustery as last night and tomorrow is just a carbon copy of all week. high temps in the 20s. northwest. peak gusts 25 maybe 30 miles an hour adding extra toajt air -- edge to the air. friday is going to be much of the same. going for a high of 29 in boston 28 in bedford.

foreat the freezing mark for tomorrow. winds blustery through tonight tomorrow morning deal with the wind reinforcing shot of chilly air and blustery into tomorrow night a little break from that on friday. we will focus on the storm system. this gets going tomorrow along the gulf coast that could see severe weather there. and as we head towards friday a big dome of snow starts to develop as it runs into the colder air that's in plays and classic track for a big mid atlantic -- in place and a classic track for a big mid- atlantic snowstorm. far eastern pennsylvania and maryland is where we will see the biggest total. but as it moves northward it will have a hard time getting past the south coast. we want to make an early call. we are three days out and we expect the lines to move and numbers may change a little but the highest ris fork a significant snowfall a half a foot is in southeastern massachusetts. this is where we have the highest chance phs that happening especially towards

happening especially towards the coast. as soon as you move away from the zone, the line is so sharp up run into no snowfall. north of the pike expect low impact and all tolled not a major snow system for us. biggest impact is certainly going to be in the mid-atlantic where they have 1 to 2 feet and higher total around dc and if your travel plans take you through new york city and into felly and baltimore dc and down into north carolina and virginia, they are going to have a lot of issues there. so the timeline is any of the flakes developing late on saturday afternoon and evening. most of the chance for snow is saturday night. middle of the night into early on southeastern massachusetts. we will have a high tide cycle there as well late saturday night and sunday morning. wind gusts going to be a story strong winds southeastern massachusetts. 45 to 65-mile-per-hour gusts. winds are going to decrease as you move north and west and all widespread power outages or anything like that but it could be pockets of coastal flooding again watching saturday night and again on sunday night.

>> the direct hit for us but it will have an impact. sunday we clear out and we are looking at highs near 30. warming trend is starting next week with mid-30s monday and low 40s on tuesday and rain showers. lisa and david over to you. >> a lot going on in the forecast. north shore nonprofit has a working plow and oddly enough it has a thief to thank for that. lynn police say a man stole a broken plow blade from a day care center. >> he returned it in working new at 5. >> reporter: it's the story ever a no good thief caught on surveillance who actually did do some good. >> what is she wearing? >> blue. >> reporter: some of the cutest kids without even meaning to. they got a -- go to preskew run by lynn economic opportunity a nonprofit providing heat and weather aid to low income families and child care.

a patient's illness. and as dr. mallika marshall shows us that could help doctors target the treatment. >> reporter: scientists at this lab at duke health come up with a blood test that can distinguish weather a respiratory infection is bacterial or viral. >> bacterial infections are one that typically are treated with antibiotics where as viral like the common cold are typically just treated supportively bed rest and fluids and tile nol. >> reporter: they developed -- tylenol. >> reporter: they developed gene signature pat rinse that show which is turned on and off when a person is fighting a particular infection. by figuring out whether it's viral or bacteria doctors hope to cut down on the overuse of antibiotics at that led to therise of super bugs. >> the more antibiotics someone takes especially when they don't need them that does expose them to other effects on their overall health and also puts them at high risk for

>> reporter: the test is 87% accurate. hours. duke is trying to create a one hour version that clinics can use in the next couple years. >> researchers say that the test could identify specific viruses like those that cause the common cold and that could prove very useful as more and more antiviral medications are expected to hit the market over the next five to 10 years. and as someone who practices in urgent care bring it bring it. >> you can't get your hands on that soon enough. even ten hours of wait something more than people endure now. >> that's true we have a rapid flu test and if we could have a test that could say bacteriaseen yew sightous -- sign yew itis and no it's just a cold that would make us feel better. no doubt applying to college can cause tress and anxiety and does it have to be that way. still to come how harvard says it can change the process. a her support for donald
