kids if you are worrying about tomorrow i am feeling good about tomorrow the timing is not good and they haven't used any. >> get the snow center going. >> people are salivating for a three day weekend if they can pull it off. but it looks like with the sometiming in the cards. you want to check tomorrow morning. >> do your homework. >> yeah. >> thank you mom. >> always a good aidea to do the home -- idea to do the the homework. snowstorm and snowy and sloppy commute. beginning at midnight and starts as rain and changes over and goes through the middle of tomorrow afternoon. 4 to 8 inches for the area. heavy and wet snowfall and that could cause power out annals for us and it's pretty remarkable considering these are the high temperatures in

the sun broke out for many. it's bun full fledged spring all across at area. but this happened before. and it looks like it will happen again. 50 in boston right now as well as new bed fore. 39 in orange and 37 pittsfield and colder air is encroaching on the area. and we have this straw of rain right now and rain showers moving up across southeastern massachusetts. it will be a wet night but as colder air makes end roads we will see that flip heading through the overnight. timing it out wet and southeastern parts of the state through the evening. and once we hit midnight, the temperatures have been falling into the mid-30s across central massachusetts and you go over to snow quickly. so the change will be happening first as we head towards the morning hours, now at 5 a.m.,that snow line is moving through boston and moving through taunton and providence and it is coming down at a pretty goodclip. temperatures above freezing which means you will have a very cement like snow as they shovel as you go.

much because it will be heavy. and then heading into the morning, we will look at snow line continuing to track it down through the south shore and down towards the cape by 9 a.m. and as we head towards late morning finally getting through hyannis and chatham and then in the afternoon most of the focus is moving in the southeastern corner of the area. now farther to the west by 2 we are winding down in the worcester region clearing the boston area and the last of the snow is exiting the cape. tomorrow evening heading out and about looks to be in better condition. 4 to 8 inches of heavy wet snow and it will come down into a good clip during the morning drive especially this area of eastern connecticut providence and boston and essex county and up towards the sea coast. 4 to 8 inches including worcester. north and west at 2 to 4 and down towards the cape and island at 2 to 4 inches because a lot of it falls as rain before changing over to wet snow. highest impact is about the morning and midday and things taper off after that. so if you don't have to be on

if you can work from home. it's probably a good idea. we think might be some school cancellation. wind speeds are gusty not as by as some major storms but because of the heavy wet snow that can cause power outage. be prepared for that possible outcome. temperatures are in the 30s all day tomorrow. then it gets quieter. we are looking at a cold friday night saturday and sunday we are near 40 degrees both days and it's dry both days and it's dry into monday to start next week so a chance to clean things up a little bit. and some melting over the course of the weekend. no issues traveling over the the buddy's house to watch the super bowl on sunday and no problems at all. watch. that will be on tuesday. still highlighting that as the day where a coastal storm is looking likely. still too early for rain snow line totals but could have a impact on the primary so we are keeping a close tab on it. accu-weather seven-day forecast winter is back in charge. so david and paula this has

but it's not here to stay. >> i spoke too soon we have breaking news. >> really. >> i said tough could your homework not if you are a boston public schoolchild. the breaking news is boston public schools canceled for tomorrow. >> you hear that noise? >> cheering. >> kid at home screaming. >> everywhere. other towns we will see tough stay with us to see what happens from here. >> leats let's go to steve burton live -- let's get to steve burton live from san francisco and last night he wore a big coat. not sot so bad tonight. >> i will -- not so bat tonight. >> i will take that. i am a hour away from the super bowl 50 and people are so excited and you know behind me, so much stuff going on. zip line, turf field. players and fans interacting with each other. the big news here as far as new england fans is tom brady. the nfl confirmed that he will
