and we have wind to boot. you in boston the temperatures are 23. but we have a steady wind of 20 miles per hour. that doesn't factor in the gusts. in the teens and the low 20s around the region because of these gusts we have a windchill in the single digits from boston to worcester and obviously won't be long before worcester's windchill is below zero. the winds will be somewhat tomorrow. affect. it is stronger than it is now. 46 in providence. 46 in blue hill. and these were the snowfall amounts. notice along the south shore, almost 6 inches and parts of the north shore had over five inches of snow. otherwise it was a two to four-inch snowfall in eastern mass. now it is all about the winds and the cold. the next 24 hours will be the coldest in this spell, but the rest of the week will be below average.

to a 9 in worcester and a 15 in boston. that's with a steady wind of 20 miles per hour. windchills will be at or below zero and the high temperature might not even get to 20 in the higher elevations of worcester county and the low to mid20s in boston with the powerful winds. there is a significant potential and it coincide with the weekend. saturday, saturday night, early sunday seems to be the time frame we have to watch. there will be a strong ocean storm to the south. we are likely to be impacted to some extent with the snow and wind. how close will the storm come? if it stays fairly farther south it would be more of a fringing situation. but if it kind of goes through the sweet spot which is where it becomes close enough to give it a bigger hit, then we would be talking about significant amounts of snow and wind and the tides are as straw -- astronomically high. once it gets into this position the question is is it

or heading more to the east. i feel we will be impacted and a path well to the south and it would be less snow. a closer pass and it is a much more significant situation. here we go tomorrow is the kollest feeling day of this week. we take into account the coldest temperatures and the strongest winds. there is the windchill below zero to start the day. notice we are talking about cold weather on wednesday, but not as cold as tuesday. thursday and friday are still cold and then the fun begins possibly depending on how close the storm comes as we watch the degree of snow and wind that moves in. there can be some rain or sleet mixed in, but those are specifics that would be rather elusive at this point in time. stay on top of it and i will see you at 11:00. i'm meteorologist harvey leonard. >> now sports center 5 with mike lynch. >> hi, everybody. nothing like a little trash
