11:17 pm
you'll notice what happened, inland we had the freezing once. now we got just along the coast, that's the only place left and i think we're already starting to see the temperatures very close to the freezing mark there as well as the south shore, the cape in the 32 degree range. nantucket sitting out here with relatively warm ocean waters around it may not get to the freezing mark. clear and cold tonight, 24 to 32 degrees for the overnight low, tomorrow, lots of sunshine, but chilly sunshine, 46 and a few spots may actually hit the 50-degree mark. the winds will be down making it feel a little bit better out there. 48, 49, a few 50's showing up here or there. worcester had a high temperature of only 40 today. you'll have about a six-degree advantage for tomorrow and tuesday warming up close to 60 degrees. we have a few showers coming in as we start to talk about thursday's forecast. we need some rain. it's not looking like a big rain event, but we need the showers that will be moving

11:19 pm
mild with this, 66 degrees, perhaps a few showers in the morning, a few showers in the afternoon. unfortunately, not a soaking rain, we could really use a soaking rain out there and the next chance for rain on sunday's forecast, that again looking like spot showers. the next seven days, not much rain to talk about, but certainly a big warm-up coming towards midweek and the cooldown isn't as dramatic as what we went through. ed: a family reunion more than 100 years in the making. heather: a cool story. the relatives who never knew that part of their family tree was hanging t[ duck quacking and wind whistling ]

11:24 pm
we stand right now, patriots in control of this game, 34-21. all right, around the rest of the national football league, let's go to seattle, marshawn lynch back to russell wilson, he let fly and it's six points for seattle. but it wouldn't be enough because the carolina panthers came to the great northwest and with time running down, under 35 seconds to go, cam newton throws the eventually game winner, 27-23 carolina wins it. they're unbeaten and so are the green bay packers. aaron rodgers threw a touchdown pass, 17-3 was the lead and look at this, first and goal from the 3-yard line, four straight plays, the packer defense came up huge , philip rivers, attempted 65 passes, the pack stay unbeaten with that win. and the new york mets are going to head to wrigley field with a two-game lead in their back pocket. the mets win 4-1, the final. three in the first inning, two
