we wish the best to michelle and jack. >> now your storm team 5 forecast with meterologist danielle vollmar. doug: danielle is in. we've been off the hook for a while here, but let's face it. it's january. it's supposed to get cold and we're supposed to get some snow. danielle: that's right. some areas are supposed to pick up some snow monday afternoon into tuesday. it's ocean-effect. we're talking about the coastline having the best shot at any snow at all. so we're talking at the coast on monday afternoon into the evening and really it's focused on the cape for tuesday morning. that's why i also put the chances down a little bit on tuesday. where is this coming from? well, first we have to get cold air in place which we're going to get from this cold front up to the north and west. it will die down and then turn those winds to the north and east. that's how we get that ocean-effect snow really going. right now we have another disturbance pushing on through right now. bringing a strong wind out of the west and also creating a couple of flurries out there in

as well as southern vermont. we've seen them pretty much all morning long. very light in nature. as we go through the day today, with a lot of sunshine as you notice on future cast, temperature s are going to respond and warm up into the upper 30's which is actually where we should be this time of year. so starting out the day in the low 30's to even mid 30's down along the south coast and the cape, upper 20's though through western mass and worcester. as we go through, say, the next 12 hours in worcester, your temperatures are warm up into the lower 30's. you should see a lot of sunshine though, i think, through the day. now the merrimack valley and places north and west boston really have the chances of seeing some more clouds through the afternoon come on in. but it is a mostly sunny day and temperaturewise we're warming into the upper 30's. with that wind, it feels more like the lower 30's out there. you can see these winds. they're anywhere from 10-15 miles an hour, and that is where they're going to stay through the afternoon and even into this evening.

be out there and with us through the next couple of days. upper 30's, low 40's depending on where you live today. lots of sunshine. tonight pretty much clear skies allowing temperatures to drop back into the 20's through the merrimack valley, through worcester, low 30's in boston and places like the south shore the cape and the islands. tomorrow we do it all over again. a little more cloud cover tomorrow afternoon. and with that we're also going to see temperatures warm up just a touch more into the low to even mid 40's. so here's what happens on the future cast. notice here comes this system bringing the coldest air we've seen thus far this season, and then those winds start to turn to the north and east. that's going to generate the ocean-effect snow showers that are going to start up on monday and continue into tuesday. so let's break down that timing for you and show you the accumulation, too. notice really it's a coating to one inch, i think, maybe cape ann getting in on this. it's really i think the south shore. once you get towards the cape and nantucket, you could see

depending on where those bands set up and maybe even locally higher amounts depending again with those bands and how long and how intense they really are. now on tuesday, for all of you that aren't seeing the snow, you're seeing the cold air. in fact, temperatures start out the day in the teens and single digits. wind chill values will be below zero for most locations. it won't last too long though because by the end of the week, we're already warming back into the 40's. doug and karen. karen: roller coaster ride. thanks so much, danielle. the time now is 8:18. 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 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 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

max pacioretty bats the puck out of the air and breandan gallagher redirects it home. montreal the much better team cruising to an easy 5-1 win. the local kid making 27 saves. >> yeah, probably the most special. i love friends and family here tonight. yeah. bruins, habs, gillette stadium. what a crowd for new year's day. it could not have been scripted any better. bob: the patriots who are not in florida and will not play tomorrow include julian edalman, dont'a hightower, sebastien vollmer, and chandler jones. celtics home against brooklyn this afternoon. that's sports. have a great day. doug: thank you, bob. the new year sorta got a late start in chicago. instead of a ball dropping at midnight, there was a rising star. but the countdown was a bit off. at midnight, the star showed there was still 27 seconds to go until the new year. the glitch left onlookers a tad confused. >> a couple minutes of us, you

>> it wasn't so much of a big deal because we're just-- everybody was just enjoying, you know, being here. doug: you get a longer kiss. clearly, the countdown hiccup did not stop the party. correct me if i'm wrong but wasn't chicago the group that sang does anybody really know what time it is? (laughing). karen: ironic. doug: it plays right together. 9 continuing here this morning. wedding gifts that might just spark a new beginning. karen: how a local couple is turning their big day into a worthy cause. doug: and we're heading back outside for another glorious morning. well, everything is relative. i mean there's no ice or snow on the beach at swampscut beach. we'll take it. danielle says that might change especially for folks along the coast. she'll explain when we come

p on average, it takes three hundred americans working for a solid year, to make as much money as one top ceo. it's called the wage gap. pand the republicans will make it worse by lowering taxes for p those at the top and letting corporations write their own rules. p hillary clinton will work to close the wage gap. equal pay for women to raise incomes for families, a higher minimum wage, lower taxes for the middle class. she gets the job done for us. i'm hillary clinton and i

and nantucket. now here's what's going to happen. as we go through the next couple of days, this weekend isn't too bad. we're actually running above average. we should be near 37 degrees this time of year but notice what happens on monday and tuesday. the coldest air mass all season works its way in. because of that, the timing works out for some ocean-effect snow showers so we could see them at the coast and on the cape. when all is said and done, we're looking for anywhere from about a coating to one across most of the coastline but the cape and nantucket could see anywhere from 1-3 inches. doug? doug: danielle, thank you. a local couple planning a wedding is taking a different approach when it comes to gifts. they want their guests to help them make a difference in the lives of others. our sera congi shows us how. zoe: i've never been a white

and 27 on nantucket. through the day today, even though we have a lot of sunshine, we're really only going to feel more like the upper 20's and low 30's because of that wind. we did have a couple of flurries around western mass earlier today. right now we're watching a little bit of a disturbance coming on through. that's generating lake-effect snow off ontario. and then we're watching this cold front. it's going to bring down the coldest air and also give us a chance for snow in some areas. we'll talk about who could see the snow ahead. doug and karen. karen: thanks, danielle. boston police are sending out a warning to dorchester residents. doug: the eye's frank holland joins us with that, plus the other stories we're following right now. frank? frank: doug and karen. residents in the area are on alert after reports of a sexual assault. a 29-year-old woman was attacked just before sunrise around 6:30 yesterday morning. the woman was walking alone down a busy, well-lit stretch of columbia road. police say a man grabbed her from behind near annabel street, threatened her with a weapon, and then sexually assaulted her.

it's all associated with this cold front you see to the north and west. this is going to slowly work through our area tomorrow afternoon, but before that, we have a little bit of a disturbance pushing on through. we've had a couple of flurries ongoing out in the western mass location as well as southern vermont. there could be more snow showers ongoing up in northern new england both today and tomorrow. but future cast shows you what happens around our area. really i think we're going to see a lot of sunshine just a couple of high, thin clouds today. and that sunshine should help warm those temperatures right up. as you look over boston, it's just a gorgeous shot although it feels a lot cooler because you see that camera shaking just a touch. winds are sustained at 10 miles an hour out of the west. so even though it's 32 degrees, it feels like 24 degrees. now in case you were sleeping, i do want to show you this shot. this one from arlington from cameron on twitter. thank you so much for tweeting me this. just a gorgeous sunrise happened this morning.

morning as well. temperatures stay warming up into the upper 30's. we'll see a lot of sunshine again. some spots may touch 40 degrees today especially the farther south and east you go. and then as we head towards tonight, we're really going to see those temperatures drop back into the 20's and 30's. it will be mostly clear. you're still going to feel that wind out of the west. it won't be as strong tonight but tomorrow it picks up again tomorrow and then we see temperaturewise warming up into the low to mid 40's. so it's a touch warmer tomorrow. but i do think we're going to see more clouds again through the day tomorrow as that cold front comes across. let me show you that future cast on everything. by 8:00 tomorrow, here is is that cold front bringing us in the coldest air we've seen so far this season. then on monday what happens, those winds turn to the north and east and, yes, they start to generate ocean-effect snow showers as we head towards monday afternoon and evening especially i think for you folks on the cape and nantucket.

accumulations and what you can expect where you live. as far as most of us, we're going to stay pretty much dry but i do think the cape and nantucket could see anywhere from 1-3 inches of snow and maybe locally higher amounts depending on where those actual bands set up. a coating to one though. cape ann you might get in on this but i do think the south shore could see about a dusting from there. everybody else though sees that cold. man, it gets cold. wind chill values on tuesday morning again running below zero in a lot of spots so we could be talking about wind chill advisories being issued. it doesn't last much longer though because once we get towards wednesday we're back into the upper 30's. by the end of the week we're in the low 40's. 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.
