everything turned out. look at boston. visibility is pretty good. nothing serious in the way of snow. that's going to change. some accumulation will happen in the next couple hours. it is still cold. it is only 22 degrees. that's pretty amazing to have a southeast wind off the water and be 22 degrees. that's because we still have what is left of the wicked cold air mass. it takes awhile to scour out the cold. the cold air is heavier than warm air. it likes to hang in the bottom of the atmosphere. how about the visibility. notice how it gets real white down here, that's where the steady snow is. so i want to show you how we had the first batch of snow that was very light. that is moving off. the second batch is catching up to the first batch and that is what we are starting to see. we have a winter weather advisory in affect for our region. if you look at the deepest purples around new york and parts of long island although

flipped to rain. there is also an area that is starting to move on to southeastern mass and the cape. so this is your opportunity to pick up some snow there before the temperatures start to warm. i think we are talking a coating to an inch of snow on the cape. nantucket up to 34. so it may be hard to accumulate snow there. a half an inch to two inches, somewhere in that range, is what i am expecting in the boston area. north of route two where the cold air hangs on a little longer the potential is there before sleet and freezing rain takes over. about 8:30 is when the assisteddest snow is in our -- steadiest snow is in our area. it will start to mix things by or before 10:00 along the pike and into southern new hampshire by midnight. along the coast, southeastern mass and the cape it will turn to rain near the water's edge. inland areas, the cold is tough to remove and therefore a period of freezing rain and ice secretion and even when the temperature starts to

morning it still may be acting like freezing rain or drizzle because it is so cold from the cold outbreak. i would be concerned in northern mass along route two and southern new hampshire and southern maine for the start of the morning commute. later in the morning it should warm up there. it should have done that from boston south even by early tomorrow morning. then we have to watch for downpours that may contain a thunderstorm marching from west to east across the state midto late afternoon tomorrow and into the eng early evening. the early evening. for that hour or so and we could have localized street flooding. and some strong if not damaging winds could be happening by wednesday morning. a high wind watch in affect for tuesday afternoon and into the evening. that's because of the line of storms with the strong south lee winds. 30 to 40 over inland areas. here is a look at the projected gusts. do you see how strong it is tomorrow afternoon?

that's when the strongest are possible. sometimes the computer model over does it a little. now we are talking temperatures tomorrow. look at this soaring into the 50s even though the same places like worcester we are in the teens below zero. p what a dramatic change. can't get more dramatic than that. after that the things will quiet down some. no big storms are on tap after we get rid of this one. at least it does not appear so through the week and weekend. that's the story, but i will update it for new an hour as things are changing very quickly. i'm meteorologist harvey leonard. >> now, sports center 5 with mike lynch. >> hi, everybody. spring training arrives at the proper time every february. just when the pawns freeze over you are tired of the chattering teeth and numb extremities and baseball takes us away. we head down to fort meyers

not until this thursday, but most of the pitchers and catchers have been there some time. they listened to harvey and got out of dodge before the temperatures plummeted. one guy down there among the regulars is the short stop zhan deer -- zander bogart. >> we played together and we know each other and know what to do and we know how to blend with each other. it will be a fun and exciting year. pitching was a priority for office. they went out and made some trades and signed some guys. definitely looking good. this year. >> try to stay healthy. you can't do much if you are on the bench. try to keep your body in good shape. >> remember a couple years ago bo em a -- bogart said the numbers are needed there. he wasn't sure which position was his.

and look at the remarkable improvement. he hit 320 last year. the slugging percentage of 421. it is really a benchmark for greatness and he had 81 runs batted in. there is a crowd behind the dish. christian vasquez was hurt all last year and ryan hannah began most of -- ryan hannigan most of last year. they hit 274 with five homers and 31 r.b.i's. >> very excited. it is a good time and the a little bit. just getting out here with the guys. they just go out and make an impression and do my thing and then stay within myself. >> he has proven what he can do. he comes in the locker room and talking to everybody from what i have heard he is a great teammate. what he brings to the team and adding more depth it will be a great year.
