town but you can see break lights everywhere. traffic in the middle coming through and the bridge is moving okay. the access roads are okay. let's check the drive times. red north to south. mass ab to route 3. we're talking a half an hour. we're talking 24 to 25, upper deck to 128. into the core of the city, a good 15 to 17 minutes. 93 to newton corner, slow to the tolls. western tolls to 495 and 495 in both directiones is good. the pike to 290, seven-minute ride. that's what the traffic looks like. there is a new report painting a grim picture of boston's fire stations. the audit found several stations did not have work smoke detectors or carbon monoxide detectors. it calls for the replacement of dozens of aging fire trucks to bring them up to standards. the fire commissioner blamed lack of investment in the department for the issues. the fire chief was injured after this fire truck flipped upside-down. this
4:46 pm
on route 153 in effingham. the utility pole was pulled up from the ground. the chief was able to crawl out of the truck. he was not seriously hurt the rollover causing that road to close for hours. take a look at this. this is large water main break. it isn't local but it's a massive water main break. it caused all kinds of troubles in the state of pennsylvania. water from the geyser was freezing on trees and filling the power lines and trees as well. that was in pennsylvania. it's still cold in pennsylvania. >> still freezing there. reporter: absolutely. it will stay cold tonight and tomorrow night. a little bit of a break on friday. it's very important. >> because of the storm coming in? reporter: you got it. late friday and saturday. temperatures will be tricky and that's still going to be the case. it's still cold. no question. don't look for much of a break in the next 36 hours.
4:47 pm
and show you what we've got. that's a great looking sky. as ed mentioned a few minutes ago it's nice to see a little daylight. each afternoon, it's appreciated by all of us. here we are in boston at 28 degrees. that's about as good as we've been able to do during the daylight hours and we still have the wind whistling in at 22 miles per hour but no longer is it a potentially damaging wind. the wind advisory has come down. a thousand feet up even colder. worcester at the airport is just 20. there is a storm coming for late friday night and especially the first half of saturday. the wind will be coming in out of the northeast. this is important. the water temperature is abnormally high for this time of the year. that's one of the reasons why i'm expecting mostly rain in most of our area with that storm. here are the gusts. 25 to 30 miles per hour across the region so when you take the temperature and combine it with the wind we've got single digits and teen for the wind chill. that's the way it's been all day long. the actual temperatures tonight will drop for a while.
4:48 pm
so teens to low 20's will probably be our range. the wind will slowly abate. they won't disappear completely weaken some. tomorrow will be another cold day. up a couple of notches and there is another thing that's interesting about tomorrow that you'll see in a moment. but tomorrow, night won't be as cold as tonight and then friday ways. the wind will be quite light and the temperature might reach up to about 40 degrees. especially from the pike southward and at least up into the 30's off to the north. it will feel a little better yesterday or shortly thereafter. here's the next little system, a little area of light snow and flurries. air dry. there is a chance we could see a few flurries tomorrow morning. clouds will be in by tomorrow morning. a couple of snow showers in the berkshires and maybe a couple showing up around boston before the morning commute is over. i don't expect if that happens, that there will be any accumulation.
4:49 pm
the sun in the afternoon. the next seven days. as i mentioned, tomorrow, a flurry in the morning. closer to 32 or so for a high temperature. friday is the more pleasant day relatively speaking getting to 40. that's very important because of the next storm that's going to come up the coast. it does not have a lot of cold air to work w. temperatures, however, will be borderline away from the coast, so if the precipitation comes down heavy in elevated areas there could be some snow temporarily mixing in but for the most part it looks like more of a rainstorm. strongest ones on the coast especially the cape and it looks like it should over before the patriots start their game. that's the good news there. check it out. saturday is going to be weight and windy start but a somewhat better finish and sunday is starting to turn colder. we have to watch sunday night. there is some chance of an additional storm. not sure. if it did happen that would be cold enough for snow and bitter cold will be with us for the first half of next week. ed? >> is that a five, harvey.
