but we'll do what we can. frank: police are encouraging people to lock their doors. they say this is a crime of opportunity. >> the people that are doing this are going off the cars. if the car doors are unlocked, it's a target. frank: in the end cars were vandalized on eight streets in portsmouth. investigators believe there could possibly be more. targeted, don't touch anything >> now your storm team 5 forecast with meteorologist danielle vollmar. danielle: check out winthrop this morning. you can see bright pinks and reds and oranges in the sky this morning. gorgeous sunrise ongoing there. you notice the wind from the south and west anywhere from 10-15 miles an hour. now we're dry today but we are going to give a chance for rain tomorrow a couple of hit-or-miss afternoon showers. we could see heavy, steady rain
6:42 am
thunderstorms. the rain chances tomorrow coming from this system you see out here. it's an area of low pressure and a warm front. it's also going to bring in some warm air even though today is warm, tomorrow will be even warmer. as we look at satellite and radar right now, clouds pretty much over most of new england today. we will call it mostly cloudy. if you look over boston it's a cloudy sight this morning. 39 degrees that wind out of the south and west at 13 miles an hour. it makes it feel more like 31 degrees. that's that wind chill value that you dress for. that wind will be with us through the day. the clouds stick around and temperatures will warm up to about 50 if boston, 51 on the south shore. 49 in lawrence. 46 degrees in worcester. and even 48 degrees in nashua. and then tonight we'll drop back into the 30's and low 40's. it's a mild night. with low-level clouds there could be some patchy areas of fog developing for first thing monday morning. monday through the day, it will be mostly cloudy.
6:43 am
afternoon shower or two. and temperatures are going to warm up into the mid to even upper 50's in a lot of spots. as that southwest wind blows pretty hard, anywhere from 10-15 miles an hour. so this warm front comes through on monday morning. we're dry to start. best timing, i think, is really afternoon into early evening. best chances south and east of the mass pike. and then we turn cooler as we head towards tuesday. we're dry. then we watch our next storm system. this one out here to the west on tuesday night will bridge us another chance for rain beginning on wednesday. it looks like really wednesday late morning into the afternoon. so let's time that out for you. on wednesday. as we go through the day, that cool air is here for tuesday. here comes that storm system on wednesday. really late morning, early afternoon. continuing through the evening though. heavy, steady rain anywhere from a half an inch to an inch is possible. some thunderstorms out there and there is that potential for some flooding especially since we have that snow pack down on the
6:44 am
a lot of that is going to melt days. then we turn cooler. we watch for our next storm system on friday. right now it's an area of low pressure following a cold front. latest models taking it farther off shore meaning less of an impact for us. so it may still brush the coastline and if it does, the precipitation type is still in question. right now the timing looks to be friday into friday night. either way you look at it, if you're not getting anything in terms of precipitation, which you are getting with the colder temperatures, as we head towards next weekend. antoinette. antoinette: danielle, thank you. nhl all-star weekend in nashville. music city is "hockey town" for a few days, and patrice bergeron is the only member of the bruins team to attend. it's his second time as an all-star, second time participating in the shooting accuracy competition. bergeron did not do especially well, but he's earned a lot of respect around the league. he'll represent the bruins in today's game.
