the search warrant was served the day after that little boy went to the hospital and in it officers say they found several kinds of pills in the apartment including with you. anadine but are awaiting more test reports whether it was in the boy's system. bree sison wbz news now back to you. >> thank you. tonight the first arrest in the rash of school threats we have seen over the last week. methuen police say a 15-year- attack there today. it was copycat from yesterday's threat which forced the evacuation of the school and a bag by bag search. there have been around 20 threats over the last week. governor baker will deliver address tonight. it's the first. one of the topics he will cover the opioid crisis. you can see the governor aa address live on wbz starting at 7:30. coming up, on the block. >> the home of the citgo sign

what do you think? kasich. kasich. kasich. that's a funny name. he brought back jobs both from china as well as mexico and i don't believe another candidate can say that. alarming picture. this is a handful of the guns seized at airport checkpoints last year. the tsa says so were -- 10 were found at rollingan airport nearly twice as many as the year before and a training land mine was discovered in a checked bag a few weeks ago. how about this the citgo sign home is up for sale boston university is selling 9 buildings including one with the sign on the roof. the sign is actually belongs to a billboard company. it tells the glow the buyer would have to negotiate a lease deal with the owner but that can't go anywhere. >> stay tuned a.

lake a webcam recorded today what you don't see is ice. in fact there's almost no ice on the lake be a by this time year the lake -- lake and by this time of the year the lake isfrozen over. >> it's been a warmer than average january. smaller water bodies have frozen up a little more current and takes a little more. >> you see the ice fishing huts and nothingmaybe in february this year. >> it's been very cold this week and a lot of chilly nights and actually i am surprised there's not some ice probably along the shore. >> looks like we dodged a bullet for saturday. >> we are watching it very carefully. we are right on the edge of a major storm system that brings a lot of snow to the mid- atlantic and travel disruption between new york and charlotte down into north georgia. so we are right on the edge of the whole thing. the main impact right now looks and island. that's where we should see the largest snow total the strongest winds and that wind could create areas of coastal fluting -- flooding saturday

high tide a little before midday. blizzard warnings in dc and baltimore and blizzard watches and long island and those may get upgraded and a big area of winter storm warnings from arkansas up toward the blizzard areas and so a big swath of the eastern united states 1 to # feet snow total and some up to 3 feet. storm is digging into louisiana and ever weather along gulf coast goes along the gulf coast and comes up the eastern seaboard heading into friday and saturday. for us in the meantime, it's quiet and cold and january and the same weather all week. teens tonight and a little brisk breeze tomorrow and it's another bright and chilly day and we want to be layered up in the morning and 20s and 30s during afternoon and not as much wind as we have seen but there will be a breeze. and clouds start to increase as we head towards the evening but the bottom line is what we have had today is what we get tomorrow. high near 32 in boston 238 in worcester. manchester in 30 and hyannis 38 degrees. we track this winter storm. so friday night the clouds

north and if you have anything going on friday into saturday morning getting in along training run or traveling many asked about flights, no problems there as all. heading towards midday the snow shield will lift towards the shoreline. so main band of heavy snow indark blue is rotating off to the south. coming up to long island and shy of new york city. and then it's going pivot right south of the islands heading through saturday night. so we will be right on the edge of snowfall and then the snow area moves out to sea as we head into sunday. this is why it's been a tricky forecast. it's been easy around dc blizzard blizzard ever since last saturday. for us plowable snow is likely in southeastern massachusetts. so two to five from plymouth through the south coast. buzzards bay region and martha vineyard and nantucket. a coasting -- coating to a couple inches in between and ocean enhanced snow across cape anne creating a coating on the ground of the all tolled

is seeing not the a high impact event. but snow in the air combined with wind will produce poor visibility saturday evening and night but especially towards the cape and islands 45 to 55- mile-per-hour gusts. could rule out a few isolateed power outages and i don't think it will be a widespread issue when you have snow and wind it could create hazardous travel. a high tide before midnight on saturday night. minor coastal flooding and minor to moderate for sunday morning. mainly focusing bay side cape and sandwich towards plymouth and south shore winds coming down out of the north and east and east facing beaches could see erosion. and sunday the whole thing is moving out to sea and we get into the sunshine and low 30s and it's a comfortable end to the weekend gusty and if you are heading to ski country they are missing out and there's no snow in northern neweningland but it's been very cold and making a ton of snow. and everyone who says conditions are great temperatures in the teens to around 20 for friday and

so we will make plenty more snow and no melting. for those cure now is denver low 40s a chance of flurries and doesn't look like weather is going to be a big factor on the field for the patriots. here's fulling a yew -- accu- weather seven-day well noon into the 30s on monday and 40s on tuesday with a chance of rain showers and near 40 on wednesday. after a very cold week it's going to feel pretty good u paula and david back to you -- good. paula and david back to you. >> patriots frees conference some fun at the podium. >> steve burton is at the cbs scene. the way people talk about the game sound like we are going to war but gronk reminds us it's fun. >> and it's a game. but it's a big game and he is well focused on the game. we are getting close to the game. patriots will practice tomorrow and get on a plane and head to denver. the game plan is now in placement all the pats have to do is execute it. and levan reid tells us now the little things come in to play. >> reporter: little comic relief to start the afternoon. >> wow.

>> reporter: big 87 under the media lights. rob gronkowski and patriots played in a number of the pivotal games to have a routine. >> experience or not, it all comes down to how you play on sundays how you prepareit's going to be a lot of young guys that don't have a lot of experience to make big plays and there's going to be older guys that come and make plays so it doesn't matter how many playoff games i've been in. >> reporter: that's right taking advantage of the moment. so maybe a game winning kick in different altitude comes if play. >> knowing the ball is going to go farther or it can go farther, you have to hit a good kick. >> reporter: or scrambling for extra yards is key. everybody has to do their part. >> i think that's been a big point the last two or three years is how to buy everybody more time and i think we have done a better job of that. >> reporter: as loud as stadium is going to be in denver tom brady says silence will be the key for the patriots offense.

so tom will use certain looks and just hand motions to make sure that the guys are able to get in and out of plays and make adjustments. at gillette stadium levan reid. >> i will tell you they want to silent crowd. let's go out to denver and dan is standing by with more on the broncos side of things. >> reporter: yeah lots of story lines for this one. we talked about a few minutes ago the fact the broncos are underdogs despite winning here in november. and the game again here in denver. you've got brady versus manning and, of course, this is the 10th time the patriots played in the afc championship game in the last 15 years. one player who knows what it's like to play on both teams number 21talib. two-time pro bowl cornerback paid for patriots from 2012 and 13 and with them when they lost to manning in the afc title game two years ago. so he has an appreciation for brady versus manning 17 this sunday. >> aid great showman. every time they play, extra

it's going to be a regular and media. quarterbacks doing it. so of course everybody wants to other. >> reporter: asked if he regrets about leaving the patriots to come to denver he said nope and moved on and asked what made the patriots so special over the the 15 years and he said it common denominator brady and belichick. that's the story from here in roche now back to you. >> thanks very much. here we go. wbz is the place to be for the afc championship starting saturday at 7 with patriots all access live from the mile high city. as for sunday we will kick off with a special two-hour i diddation -- addition ofpatriots game day kick off at 3 followed by the 5th quarter show. the bruins let's end with them they act vated -- activateded
