flurries, some clouds move in. but for the most part it is going to be a dry day today. a couple of flurries on the map out in western mass, the berkshires and near worcester county now. some of these may be snowy in the upper atmosphere not actually maybing it to the ground as of yet. you could see a couple of them. they start to intensify more. you would be inside of 495 near metro west as well. maybe boston seeing a couple of flurries this morning. as we get towards afternoon, we actual actually are going to see a lot more sunshine through the day. that will allow our temperatures to warm up into the upper 30's. however, we still have that pesky wind out of the west through the afternoon so that will keep our wind chill values in the 20's for the most part. so it's still a chilly day. if you're headed out, make sure you bundle up. notice there could be some snow showers especially up in northern new england for all you skiers looking pretty good this weekend for getting some snow up through northern new england. right now 31 degrees in boston. it is 26 degrees in worcester.

in the mid 30's already on nantucket. but then you factor in those winds out of the west. and they're anywhere from about 10 to 15 miles an hour right now. that makes it feel more like 14 degrees in worcester, more like 17 degrees in pittsfield. so it's a chilly start out there. everybody waking up to feeling like teens and 20's this morning. and through the day, we should be as warm as 39 in boston, i think, 40 maybe along the south shore. low 40's on nantucket with some sunshine and then maybe a couple of afternoon clouds. tonight the 20's and 30's. it's a chilly night but not too, too bad. and then tomorrow most places should rebound into the upper 30's and lower 40's. in fact, them is a better day, i think, in terms of the temperature and a little less wind out there. but watch what happens. we're going to watch this system come through on sunday. it will bring in more cloud cover through the afternoon. and then it's going to bring in the coldest air we've seen thus far this season.

start to turn out of the north and east. and we start to get these ocean-effect snow showers ongoing for parts of the cape, the islands, and maybe even you folks up on cape ann and gloucester could be seeing some as well. when all is said and done, we're expecting from this system anywhere from one to three inches. of course, this is all going to depend on where those bands actually set up and get going. the whole thing though is while a lot of us may see no snow at all, you are going to be talking about temperatures that are very chilly. these are your high temperatures on tuesday, folks. you are in the mid 20's overnight lows in the teens and single digits. yes, it is the coldest air all season. however, we start to mild or turn mild, excuse me and warm up by the end of the week. karen and doug. karen: thank you. time now is 5:18. stories we're following right now on the eyeopener. doug: gunfire has erupted at an air force base in india near the pakistani border. officials say at least four of the attackers and two indian soldiers have been killed in the

doug: 5:44 on this saturday morning. and frank, there's new trouble to start the new year for two fantasy sports sites. frank: the new york attorney draftkings and its rival site fanduel to turn over profits made in the empire state to the that's around $200 million. lawsuit that would also require the sites to pay a hefty fine to the state. it's the latest move in new york's attempt to shut down the popular fantasy sports sites, calling them illegal gambling. good news here. drivers can expect to continue seeing low prices at the pump in the new year. fall as low as $1.79 a gallon in the next month.

prices in years. the average driver saved $550 over the course of the year when compared to 2014. that helped power consumer spending stimulated the economy. will be released. million jobs were created in 2015. that would be a more than 5.5 million over the last two years, the most in a two-year period since the dot-com boom. frank holland, wcvb, newscenter 5. >> now your storm team 5 forecast with meterologist danielle vollmar. doug: step outside this morning. it's a little chilly but certainly been worse on january 2, i guess. danielle: it's going to get worse. doug: then there you go. danielle: as we head towards next week, we're starting out with the coldest air we've seen thus far this season. it's going to be chilly, folks. get ready. 39 degrees today for your high. tomorrow 42. actually running above normal. but then look at monday and tuesday. wow.

comeback. we are in the upper 20's on monday. mid 20's on tuesday. and starting out in the teens and single digits. so cold air is coming. and with that there is a threat for snow for some. we're going to talk more about that in just a second. but the cold air is obviously coming up from north from canada and even out west. look at minneapolis right now at 15 degrees but we are checking in this morning in the 30's. we have this cold front we're watching. this is going to come flew actually tomorrow and bring down that real he'll cold air. but out ahead of it another little disturbance pushing on through and that's generating this morning some flurries out there especially some lake-effect flurries coming off ontario into western mass, southern vermont. some of these may be making it to the ground, you know, around, say, the worcester hills through boston and then out towards the berkshires. but it's very light in nature. this is going to pass on through very quickly. in fact, most of the day today is actually going to be sun-filled.

through the afternoon. notice though real snow showers ongoing up through northern new england. so for all of you ski lovers, you're going to get more fresh powder not only today but also for tomorrow. in terms of the temperatures, low 30's in the south shore right now. mid 30's on the vineyard. and nantucket. upper 20's though through the merrimack valley. as we go through the next 12 hours for you folks there, you're going to warm up into the mid 30's through the afternoon. and notice though there could be some more afternoon clouds. i think the farther north and west you live in boston is is the better chance of seeing some more clouds but i do think down along parts of the cape and the islands you're going to stay pretty sunny today in the upper temperatures. so again the high temperatures look like this across the area. upper 30's right around 40 degrees. then for tonight, we drop back into the 20's and 30's under partly cloudy skies. and tomorrow i think there's going to be more clouds around. we're still going to have the wind.

upper 30's and low 40's so not a bad day overall. and it's pretty much a dry day. but here comes that cold front bringing in that arctic air. and then those winds turn to the north and east so so on monday afternoon into the evening, there's going to be the chance for some ocean-effect snow showers. they're going to start to impact parts of our coastline and could bring some accumulating snow because the temperatures will be so cold. so we're talking anywhere from cape ann down along the south shore, the cape, the islands could see anywhere from 1-3 inches depending on where those bands set up. either way you look at it, everybody else is seeing the chill. look at these high temperatures as we head towards tuesday. mid 20's but starting out the day in the teens and the single digits. wind chill values could be at wind chill advisory criteria tuesday morning. so be aware of that. it is going to be cold on tuesday morning. we do start to moderate though as we head towards the end of

the year, cruises to an easy 5-1 win. the local kid making 27 saves. college football and we start with the grand-daddy of them all. the rose bowl. stanford and iowa. and it was quite the day for christian mccaffrey this kid is unbelievable. first play from scrimmage and he's gone 75 yards for a touchdown. he'd finish with a rose bowl record 368 all-purpose yards, 66 more on the punt return. so, he's good and stanford is much better than iowa. they win, 45-16. karen: as new diets start for many this new year, we introduce you to a taunton teen with a special message. she posts inspriational messages daily to her anoxeria awareness facebook page to remind others worrying too much about body image can be unhealthy. newscenter 5's rhondella richardson has her story. rhondella: taunton high senior haylei conte has a ballet bar in her room and a wall of dance competition awards; yet in this
