sea. the other is this arctic front which is going to come sweeping here early tomorrow morning. right now the snow and everything you' re seeing is because of this. this is the one that will get us tomorrow morning. as we see that snow working its way inward, you can see it is dry air. it may not be hitting the ground. the weather reports i' m getting from observers is saying light stuff but it will continue to go. this weather advisory goes all the way until 10:00 tomorrow morning. we are talking about 1-3 inches of snow, perhaps more and a few spots over 12 hours. last winter we would pick up that much snow and one hour. it is a slow process. there is the leading edge. it goes almost along 44 and plymouth through totten and providence. lifting its way northward. there is more of a mix going on over the cape all of it very light. here is the way it looks at 8:00 tonight. see how it pushed its way northward? some mix going on. as we continue to the nine time,

around. this is the way the map looks at 2:00 in the morning. then we start to see this front coming in tomorrow morning. as this pushes in, you see what happens -- no showers develop. these are the type of things were not much is happening and all of a sudden boom. it snows like crazy. it makes things slippery very fast during the morning commute. tomorrow afternoon, there may be a few snow showers leftover but the bulk of the snow was in the morning hours. it is the early-morning commuters that will have issues tomorrow. i have put it in our 1-3 category. then we have and it has been along the coastline. that is why imparts a plymouth county we could see 2-4 or in essex county. outside of that, you get out to the west we are talking a dusting to maybe two inches of snow. here is also the other thing we are looking at -- the colts or check out these high temperatures just into the mid-20' s.

down to the south shore only in the upper 20' s. in addition to the snow coming through behind it comes some very strong winds. so the wind is going to be with us and also the very cold temperatures on tuesday morning is looking very frigid. let me break it down for your seven-day forecast. you have got the snow showers tomorrow. then letting up as we had to the afternoon. tuesday morning, cold wind. i am seeing 10 degrees in the morning. but factor in the wind in the windchill index will be below zero. this is at 7:00 a.m. not much changes. that wind stays strong. the temperature stays cold. so tuesday is a very cold day across the area. wednesday -- it is still a windy day. maybe a little bit warmer but look at these wind gusts. 30-35 miles per hour. eventually this does settle down somewhat. we get some calmer weather on thursday and friday. then we have a system coming up the coast saturday. yesterday looked like he would stay south of us. today is starting to look like this is getting more interesting and getting closer to us.

>> this is an editorial by wcvb '

bill: in 2014 more than 1000 massachusetts residents died of opioid overdoses. though the final numbers are not official for 2015, the future prognosis is worse. and governor baker has openly predicted the tragic toll will spike further. unless these chilling statistics are quite dramatic change and how we handle this epidemic. this week the house unanimously approved a bill that, among many recommendations, limits initial painkiller prescriptions to a week supply. and recommends cities and towns set a prescription drug drop boxes where medications can be safely discarded. the house bill differs significantly from the governor' s recent stronger proposal. which limits initial prescriptions to three days and lets doctors commit patients and voluntarily to drug treatment facilities for up to 72 hours if they are considered an immediate danger. the senate passed its own version of a bill last fall. ostensibly focusing on curbing addiction to education and prevention.

frankly, the strongest elements of all three proposals need to be reconciled and melded into an aggressive plan of action. politics rules the federal government been massachusetts residents can take heart that this governor and legislature have proven they can, despite differences, find compromises and work together. there is january optimism demanded by a need for action that the governor can soon sign a copperheads of reform bill. that would be the best news not only for those individuals who dependency on opioids can become an addiction but for the dramatically increasing number of family scarred by this deadly scourge. >> from boston' s news leader, this is wcvb newscenter five at 5:30. heather: we begin with breaking news. the u.s. embassy in i raq

reid: heather: winter is isaac.

. mike: we had 1.2 inches of snow. normally by this time we should be closing in on the foot in a half of snow. we are way behind your last year we had this drought going until january 23. then we just got slammed with that record-setting 110 inches of snow. on the anniversary of last winter, we have another storm system coming in this weekend. the wind out of the north right now at 12 miles broad. not a big problem right now but i pointed out to because tuesday morning the windchill index is going to be below zero and is going to stay cold and windy a lot of this week. most readings below the freezing mark. as you head down toward the cave. that is where we are seeing the mixing going on. a few sprinkles mixing in with flurries. a report from martha' s vineyard that the snow is starting to stick a little bit. that is where it started out earlier.

big storm system offshore. we are just getting a very very fine outer edge of it. but this storm system to the west which will come ripping through tomorrow morning will also give us a chance of snow. over the next 12 hours or so. cold air unleashed over the top of us. you see there is some moisture out here in the outer cape in the form of some rain. then he goes into the mix and eventually some snow. that is what we are seeing folding up. not so much moving this way but if the in over-the-top as we get enough moisture into place. it is going to take a while to see where these bands set up. i put a couple of areas in enhancement i' m watching along the south shore through much of essex county. this is what is moving in right now. you look at the radar. if you joined me a half hour ago, it was down here on 44. now it is getting close to the split. a lot of it is not hitting the ground but he gives you an idea of how fast this is moving.

little bit of mix in that direction. the timeline on this -- 8:00, we have the snow all across the area. some rain bands offshore. cold enough at that point we are dealing with the snow event across the region. we will see that snow and snow bands setting up to the overnight. then watch for this cold front to the west. this is the leading edge of some really cold stuff. when it comes in it is going to squeeze the atmosphere out of every bit of moisture and possibly can and that is when we get those snow squall. those are intense bursts of snow that only last a few minutes. you can get up to two inches in a short time. but then they move on through. so tomorrow morning we start to see these bands developing ahead of the front. the front zipped through and by afternoon, there could be a few snow showers but i think we may see some clearing tomorrow afternoon. and the wind will pickup with coulter matures we are talking about. how much snow -- cold temperatures we are talking about. i' m watching these two areas. right now i think it is progressive.

out to the west when snow showers come through tomorrow morning, dusting to two inches possible. the seven day forecast. tomorrow, snow showers. only about 28 degrees. it is even colder on tuesday. adding insult to injury is the wind which is going to be howling out of the west. that will keep the wind chills the low zero in most locations. -- below zero in most locations. 3:00 in the afternoon, single-digit windchill. they do not improve at all. the wind stays strong on wednesday as the. these will be gusting all day long, 35 miles per hour. although the temperatures may warm. then we go into a quiet period to saturday which is the starting last year. the coast. there is a lot of questions as to what is going to happen. yesterday it did not even show up on the map here it was going to stay south of us. right now it does look like it

because we will have cold enough temperatures. in the meantime, watch out tonight and tomorrow morning be careful there could be some slippery spot. i will continue to update this to during the next half hour. lynch. mike: patriots and the rest of new england watch the events in denver to find out who -- next sunday at 3:00 baird broncos win game is in denver. steelers win, the game is here. first half. the steelers answer the patriots -- have a 10-6 lead over the denver broncos but denver has the ball and they are moving. of course, the patriots did their part yesterday afternoon here they were healthy, they were impressive. the return of edelman made the gronk too much to handle. he had 7 grabs. 11 for julian edelman. that will give tom brady a comfort zone he is not had for two months. the patriots are in the afc
