a lot of areas won't see any of this at all. in fact, you'll see a lot of sunshine. what you will see though is the cold temperatures. i want to talk about that snow impact because you did put it at a high amount especially monday afternoon and nighttime around the coastal region. this could make it as far north as maybe cape ann. it could get brushed with snow showers. plymouth county and then, of course, the cape and the islands seeing it. a medium chance for tuesday morning for you folks on the cape. it's all coming from this cold front that is going to actually bring down the coldest air we've seen all season. and then those winds will turn out of the north and east. that's how we get those ocean-effect snow showers really going. as for what's happening right now. another disturbance on our doorstep. that's been triggering a couple of snow showers going across central new york into western mass. some of these may be making it to the ground. very light in nature. we have very dry air out ahead of this. a couple of flurries maybe in and around boston now near worcester county and then out

forecast though. in fact, as we go through the day today, look at the future cast. you see this by lunchtime. we're clearing out the skies. we're going to see a lot of sunshine today. and that's going to continue through the afternoon and the evening. only spots that may see some snow showers may be northern new england. so a couple of maybe additional inches of powder this weekend for all of you ski and snow borders. as for the temperatures right now, we're starting off in the 20's and 30's across the region. and in worcester we're actually at 26 degrees. now what's going to happen through the day is we should warm up into the lower 30's. we will have a lot of sunshine in worcester but we could see some clouds in the afternoon the farther north you go, say, the merrimack valley, seeing some clouds around lunchtime or so. you'll warm up into the mid 30's. but it's not just the air temperature we're concerned with today. we're also talking about the fact that we have winds out of the west at 10-15. so even though you see high

30's, maybe even pushing near 40 degrees along the south shore and the cape, it's going to feel more like the lower 30's and upper 20's due to that wind. and that's going to continue tonight. we'll drop down into the 20's and 0's. and tomorrow we do it all over again. a touch warmer in the lower to even mid 40's maybe along parts of southeastern mass. a little more clouds though i think tomorrow especially in the afternoon. and then watch what happens. it's all this cold front bringing in that arctic air on sunday afternoon. it's a dry one as it passes but what happens is then those winds turn to the north and east. we start to pick up that ocean-effect snow that's going to be ongoing for you folks especially, i think, the cape and the islands. they're now start to go break down these bands a little bit more for you. a coating to one really i think it's a lighter white but in the blue area, could see one to maybe three inches and maybe in some spots where those bands set up a little bit more than that. either way you look at it. if you're not seeing snow

coast, you're talking about cold. we're going to get real cold on tuesday. overnight lows in the teens and single digits. wind chill values probably below zero so be aware of that on tuesday morning when you step outside the door. the good thing is this doesn't last too long. we start to moderate back into the 40's by the end of the week. doug and karen. karen: thanks, danielle. new year. rear-view mirror. doug: i have to find my long my goodness. 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 attack. the gunmen invaded the living quarters of the base but have not been able to gain access to fighter helicopters and other equipment. no group is claiming responsibility. karen: texas residents are allowed to carry their handguns openly in public. an open carry-gun law that governor greg abbott signed in

it allows anyone with a concealed weapons permit to carry their holstered weapons in plain sight. courtrooms, schools, and bars are off-limits. doug: the justice department is launching a criminal investigation into how blue bell creameries handled the ice cream contamination linked to 10 reported cases of listeria. three people believed to have been sickened by blue bell frozen treats died last year. an investigation by the centers for disease control and prevention showed the listeria outbreak dated back to 2010. >> now sportscenter 5 with bob halloran. bob: the electricity of the winter classic did not give the bruins any kind of jolt. instead it was lights out for them against montreal. and here's what the home of the patriots looked like with 67,000 fans filling all the seats and the standing-room only section. bruins and canadiens ready to go. holliston native mike condon's goalie mask reminding him to do his job. tuukka rask also looking for inspiration from the champion patriots, but it's montreal's big day.

know, being here. doug: because nobody really knew what time it was. clearly, the countdown hiccup did not stop the party. nor should it. one they'll remember though. the year that had 27 extra seconds in chicago alone. wedding gifts that might just karen: how a local couple is turning their big day into a worthy cause. pictures. this is from swampscut. this is the half moon. there. danielle will be back with her chilly forecast to kick off the

so for all you ski lovers up there, it looks pretty good. could get another inch of powder up there by the end of the weekend. you notice through our future cast we're really looking for a lot of sunshine today and then tonight the sky s are going to be pretty much clear overnight. now right now we're in the 20's in plymouth. 26 in worcester. but again this is the air temperature. then you factor in those winds. and the winds are out of the west at about 10-15 miles an hour sustained right now. that makes it feel like 16 degrees in pittsfield. like 15 degrees in worcester. and like the lower 20's through boston and points south and east. be aware of that. as we go through the day today, we are going to warm up into the upper 30's, low 40's. again lots of sunshine. and those winds will be with us pretty much all day long and even this evening as we drop temperatures back into the 20's and 30's across the area. so it is going to be a chilly night. and then tomorrow we should warm up a couple of degrees even

so we're talking low 40's, boston. mid 40's along the cape. and we'll see a mix of sun and clouds tomorrow. more clouds will be around though. there could be a couple of flurries around the region again tomorrow. it's all associated with this cold front that's going to come down and bring down the coldest air we've seen thus far this season. and then we watch those winds on monday turn to the north and east. this is going to start to generate some ocean-effect snow showers. as we blink down the cold air it's already in place, we could see a coat to go about one inch near camp ann, near parts of the south shore. once we get towards the cape and nantucket, i think one to three inches. depending on where these bands set up, we could even get maybe a couple more inches on top of that. so again we are talking about only in some spots seeing the snow but everybody on tuesday will be talking about that chill out there in the air because we're going to start in the teens and single digits with wind chill values below zero. it is going to be a cold one.

only going to warm up into the mid to upper 20's. the good news with all of this, if you don't like that cold weather, it doesn't last long. by wednesday we're in the upper 30's with some sunshine and by the end of the week we're in the doug. doug: danielle, thank you. here's what the home of the patriots looked liked on new year's day with 67,000 fans filling all the seats and the standing room only. bruins and canadiens ready to go. holliston native mike condon's goalie mask reminding him to do his job. tuukka rask also looking for inspiration from the champion patriots. but it's montreal's big day. max pacioretty bats a puck out of the air and brendan gallagher re-directs it home. montreal, much better to start the year, cruises to an easy 5-1 win. the local kid making 27 saves. karen: as new diets start for many this new year, we introduce you to a taunton teen with a special message. she posts inspirational messages daily to her anoxeria awareness
