temperatures work north and westward heading through tonight. main idea is it's snowing from now through the evening and steadiest between 6:30 p.m. and 10 p.m. and that's where temperatures are cold and will coat the roads and heading later into the night warmer temperatures start to work their way in. now we are seeing above freezing air moving up across southeastern massachusetts and a lot of icing will develop across the interior so we will be freezing rain and sleet and that's going to linger into tomorrow morning. in terms of snow it's coating to one for boston south and east. one to three inland and then topping all that with ice for tomorrow morning's commute especially inland areas. we will look at that forecast in the 50s and the rain coming up in a bit. david. >> thanks. we have breaking news emergency crews responding to a flooding situation in the stanley elementary school. the superintendent telling wbz there's sprinkler -- a sprinkler leak and crews are cleaning up the mess. reports of the dang is pretty bad.

control could be rejected while a lower court ruling knicksing executive action on immigration could be left standing. now, as for the politics of all this, consider the pressure on several senators if the president nominates attorney general loretta lynch to the court. republicans facing tough reelection fights like kelly in new hampshire would have to explain their resistance to a well qualified woman who they voted to confirm for attorney general. you can bet governor maggie has hot is challenging her would make a issue with that. >> if he puts a moderate ford it changes it. >> reporter: very much so. >> thank so jon is tackling the issues important to you will of -- to all of us. tomorrow at 5 a closer look at income inequality. watch jon's piece on sharing the wealth tomorrow at 5. lisa. david, former boston mayor ray flynn now has a defibrillator. boston doctors blame an irregular heartbeat for the car

less volume on the roads school vacation week and people out of town it was quiet out there earlier. hopefully it will make things easier on the roads. the storm system developing towards tennessee cold air locked in along the eastern seaboard will take a while to completely scour that out. it's been so cold outside. 22 in boston which is the warmest since lunchtime on saturday. 15 in worcester and now warmer temperatures are moving up across the cape and islands. and that's the trend heading through tonight. so the main areas of snowfall 6:30 tonight to about 10 or 11 and as the snow comes down, easily going to stick because it's been so cold. so be cautious if you are heading out and b visibilities are decreasing. as we approach nid night, warmer air floods southeastern massachusetts changing over to rainfall. but in the interior models are trying to warm up. they are always terrible at this and it's an issue in computer models. and i expect sleet and freezing rain to hold on into tomorrow morning. in particular around the

region that could top 60 mile per hour gusts. high temps into the 50s. fog a hugh change compared to what we have been dealing with and the high wind watch from the sea coast and main coast across southeastern massachusetts from 4 0 to 65 mice per hour as the band -- miles per hour as the band moves through. heaviest rainfall between 5 and 8 and it will move out quickly. heading towards the evening drier air moves in for rest of the week. as we go towards wednesday, thursday and friday, there's the accu-weather 7-day. 40s on wednesday. a little colder on thursday but no major travel issues into the weekend. and the weekend looks a lot different than the one we just left. david and lisa over to you. >> thanks. one of the things we know about eric is he doesn't like heights so perhaps you may want to look ahead for the next deal look away because it's cool. >> cameras were rolling as three russian daredevils sneaked past guards in china unlocked doors and began to climb and untethered up one of the tallest buildings.
