owned cars and most spaces are in areas with little access. >> of the 80 spaces rented to zip car and rent a prize only nine are in the downtown core area like back bay and financial district the rest are in the neighborhoods like roxbury, dorchester, but the question is, will this encourage city dwellers to not buy cars. >> the more people that start using a service like this takes cars off the road, decreases congestion, decreases parking. >> we look at the data and studies and we're fairly confident that that's the trend. >> for every car sharing vehicle on the road, nine to 13 private cars disappear off the streets within five years. >> people decide, hey, my car is getting old, i could get a new car, look at how much it will cost. i could just get a zip car and, i only use ate couple of times per week and it's much cheaper. >> but the immediate burn continues. >>

>> wcvb, newscenter 5. >> storm team 5 forecast. with chief meteorologist leonard. >> if you've been around boston today it's been a little cooler but look at the change coming tomorrow as we aim for 70 or higher over much of the region. much cooler on friday by about 20 degrees. friday afternoon compared to thursday afternoon. enough so that by early saturday morning. much of the area will be kind of frosty. it's not frosty now but notice how it's only 58 in lawrence, 57 in beverly and portsmouth. 71 right now in province and look at this. nantucket surrounded by water is 70 and so is block island. this is very mild air. 47 in hartford. 73 in bridgeport. islip, slopped, hit 75 and broke a rider for the date. very mild air in the southern part of our region. interesting, pretty sky in boston as we're passed sunset. 54 degrees is our temperature. breeze light out of the northeast. that's the key.

wherever there is a light it's comparatively cool but where quite warm. like hartford. so we have a boundary separating the current warmth from the comparative cool temperatures that's buy suggesting southern new england. now, as we go through the overnight and particularly tomorrow morning, this will get an impetus to push northward. why? because there is a lot of warmth to the west and south. enough to shove the shallow cool air further to the north and allow us to have a warm day tomorrow. so these are anticipated high temperatures for tomorrow. if we were to have enough sun, i don't know if that would be the case but if we were, late morning and mid afternoon, we could on hit into the mid 70s so the warm front lifts north. send us into the warm air tomorrow. the cold front makes its approach by perhaps touching off a few scattered showers in the region but once that front crosses the region later tomorrow night, then much cooler air with high pressure comes in for a dry, bright but breezy and cooler friday. with high pressure right over us

early saturday, that's the recipe for a frosty start for many. here's a look at the day tomorrow. notice some patchy clouds early. brief breaks of sun but then we go right back into the clouds. a couple of scattered showers coming through in the late afternoon and early evening. doesn't look like they will be widespread could. be an isolated heavy downpour but doesn't look like it will be having large aerial coverage. here's your next seven days. tomorrow, i'm thinking about 72 for a high in boston. but only about a 52 for a high on friday, with a chilly breeze. it starts out below freezing. in just about tall suburbs. and then recovers a bit into the 50s in the afternoon on saturday. so when you realize that tomorrow could be above 70. this is a lot different. look how chilly this could be and then we struggle in the 50s. sunday is the patriots game. and for that, with weak front coming through the region there is a chance there could be a shower or two. can't rule that out. does look fairly mild.

a slight risk of showers could be earlier in the day, and then we might be back into some partial clearing on sunday afternoon. it looks like it will turn chillier sunday night through next tuesday. wet weather coming just beyond the seven day period. >> now, here's more with mike lynch. >> we come to you live from victory field in watertown. aptly name for the high school field hockey team who made national history this afternoon. first, let's start with the patriots. this week, they have got the jets. had a winning record for four seasons. they have got a new head coach. when they come to town this sunday claiming for first place in the afc east, these jets are a blast from the past. >> it's back to the future day. perfect for the patriots because no team cares less about the past.

bill belichick has to go back in time to discuss the 2004-2007 >> i don't care about anything in the past. the future right now. i'm just worried about the jets. >> but in a back to the future world you can change the past and make it so deflate gate did. mayor fine up the capacitor, stuff ryan into a delorean and bring him back and while you're at it, bring reevis back to the patriots. >> his football instincts according to tom brady, are incredible. >> i've got a firsthand look at that last year, every day in practice, and, you know, it was but he moved on, now he's our competition again. >> no jaws 19. thankfully. and no recover crafts unless you count when robert kraft is hovering around the team but the future is now and the present

>> they are very tough to beat. and, you know, we've had a lot of close games with them over the years. a lot of situational footballs. a lot of two-minute drives and overtime games. >> the last four games with the jets have been decided by three points or fur and if the past is a prologue this should be another very close game. bob hallerren, wcvb, sports isn't 5. >> bob made reference to reevis. he'll be coming back wearing his familiar number 24. after one year with the patriots, a sensational year in which he won a super bowl wring how will he be received in foxborough? >> i don't know. him back with open arms. they are fans. they are fans. we'll see how it goes. it will be fun. >> kickoff sunday at 1:00 down at gillette stadium. the reason we're here at victory

short time ago, the watertown high school field hockey team won its 154th straight game without a loss. that sets a new national high school record. no one has ever done this before. the streak goes back all the way to the end of the 2008 season. today they beat melrose by a score of 6-0. and this was just a celebration, a huge crowd on hand here for a 3:45 game. watertown was up 6-0. they had great deal of respect for their opponents in melrose. when it was over the celebration began. many alums here toting children of their own. and there you go, new national record. 154 games without a loss. >> how cool was this? >> unbelievable. >> that's all you have to say? >> yeah. so exciting. so hard -- to put into words how
