tongue of moisture which could produce a little narrow band of or so in boston. also a little moisture after midnight. but if that happens in boston and we have to wait that long, those will probably be rain showers here. but north of the pike and north of route 2 could still be snow. milder air will start working tomorrow. tonight first. could be maybe a coating to an inch roughly from the pike northward. to get into the higher elevations, points north, maybe as much as an inch or two but the story then turns to the warmer temperatures out to our west. 60. st. louis 72 right now. >> commitment 2016 on the eve of south carolina's gop republican candidates are making their final appeals while the democrats target nevada voters in advance of tomorrow's caucuses. newscenter 5's sally kidd is live in our d.c. newsroom tonight. sally? >> well, j.c., attack and

you shouldn't hold anything back. so i ask that from the guys around me and it usually works out pretty good. i care about the guys in the bull pen. we don't always know who those guys are going to be yet especially this time of the year. when that bull pen comes together i care about those guys because it's part of the team. i care almost more about how they do than i do. i like to see the guys succeed. >> workouts continue tomorrow morning here in ft. myers. our live coverage begins sunday night at 6:00. with the sox in ft. myers, mike lynch, sports center 5. >> tonight we are hearing from the business partner of the florida teen accused of pretending to be a doctor. >> up next his surprising reaction to his close colleague being taken out of their office in handcuffs. >> a close call for a pass bust in texas. the reason the driver is off the job tonight. >> this entire police force boycotting beyonce. the security they say they will not provide. >> let's take a look at first

the bunker hill bridge starting to slow down at this hour. let's look at the maps and take a look at the rest of the area. there will be some tough drive times. 23 minutes and building mass avenue to route 3. out west on the pike 12 minutes i-93 to newton corner. 128 looking okay. slowing down southbound. toll to 495. regular commute. once you're on 495 that stretch between the mass pike and 290 looks okay in both directions.

>> war planes have bombed an isis camp in libya. the man you are about to see the target of the attack. investigators say he is believed to be responsible for the twin attacks on a museum and popular beach in tunisia. 38 lives were lost in that attack. the pentagon believes he was killed in the air strike. to iraq where a key isis target has been destroyed. this infrared video shows the strake last weekend near mosul. coalition forces say it destroyed a facility isis used to store cash and collect taxes. the video actually shows paper

through the air after a round of explosions. the hope is the strike will disrupt the terror group's financial and command and control operations. >> the man in business with that teenager arrested for posing as a doctor in florida is now talking about the strange situation. deputies hald away malachi robinson this week after an under cover operation. perseus wells says love robinson assured him he was a legitimate doctor with a ph.d and board certification and says the teen even got approved to accept medicaid. >> in order to take medicaid and all these insurances you have to show proof and the proof has to be a number. the number had to be valid. how did he get the number? stuff? >> he is also facing cushons that he stole $3,000 from an 86-year-old woman. >> time to check in with harv about what is happening because it's the weekend. really nothing you can say would be bad.

>> i have a lot of good things to say. >> look at that. a win-win. >> remember when you froze last weekend? you won't freeze this weekend. >> all right. i like that. keep going. >> all right. i don't know if i'll sing your tune. at least i can play it or try to. all right. it was cold early this morning. single digits and teens. boston 20. a respectable recovery today into the 30's. look at the changes in temperature though. i think boston is going to be above 50 for high temperature. both saturday and sunday. won't that feel nice after one weekend ago? milky sky. we've been following an increase in cloud thest this afternoon. the breeze is off the water at this hour in boston. the temperatures are a little above freezing. actually a touch warmer off to the north and west but will drop back a little bit. the air is very dry which means if precipitation starts to fall it will temporarily cool the air. that's why with the cold air still above, if we do get

tonight it would be a period of snow. so we have to keep that in mind. doppler radar is now starting to show at least on radar it is not reaching the ground out toward the berkeshires a little snow. as we widen out a little bit we see this little band right here. because the air is so dry, it's hard to really know if this is going to make it all the way to the ground or has to wait for another little strip of moisture a little further back. the reason that is important is the longer it takes, eventually we'll start warming up. so if we don't have anything i'd say between now and midnight or 1:00 a.m. around boston and points south and anything after that probably would be snow that couldn't stick or just a few rain showers. but especially north of boston there could be 1 or 2 waves of snow. late tonight and into the wee hours of the morning and then that's a done deal. so the sky should brighten some tomorrow and that should allow the warmer temperatures to start to move in. not much snow accumulation around our area. southern part of the area nothing. maybe boston northward could be a coating to maybe an inch. especially the higher elevations. if there is any accumulation it

look at these temperatures. right now it is 58 in pittsburgh. 64 in cincinnati. 60 in detroit. just ahead of that there is a front right in here and it's right ahead of that front where a narrow little strip of snow could come in later on tonight. now, as far as the next seven days are concerned, we'll probably undergo a lot of change. the mild weather over the weekend. now, as far as the actual specific temperatures tomorrow, just want to show you one of our computer models here showing low 50's. i've added a few because i think based on how warm it is in the midwest and the fact we should have some sunshine we should do even a little better. sunday is mild by day. come sunday night, a small little wave of low pressure is going to pass south of us. it's questionable whether the northern edge of the precipitation will even make it into our area. but it will be turning somewhat colder. so it could be a little wet snow or rain changing to some snow. if there is a heavier burst of precipitation, a small accumulation could occur. but again, i'm not saying that is going to happen. just something to keep in the back of your mind. it would be over by monday morning and then chillier

if we do get a little sunday night mix it is over by the monday commute. monday should clear up, be breezy, and somewhat colder. that then sets the stage for a lot of complications that are going to follow thereafter. anywhere really from the tuesday night period on into thursday we have to watch one or two storms. i'm not sure if this is going to get broken into two parts or just be one stronger storm. if it is one stronger storm, it's likely to go to the west of us and draw warm air up in here. if it is a couple storms it will be somewhat colder and the chance of starting snow and having ice involved would increase. so that whole time period, tuesday night into thursday, will follow it. it is starting to look less and less likely it could be an actual straight snowstorm but some mixing is still a possibility. we'll stay on top of it. >> thank you. take a look at this view. it is something you can't actually see. this is a massive black hole about 300 million light years from earth. scientists took their sharpest pictures of it with the hubble space telescope.

million tons combined but it cannot be seen because black holes of course pull light in with their gravity. astronomers can still figure out their size by looking at the stars around them. a heart warming story tonight out of texas. >> a group of high school students made sure their teacher would have a birthday he would never forget. the kids found out their beloved english teacher hasn't gotten a birthday cake in almost a decade. they surprised him and gave him some gifts too. you can see the teacher was moved here as they gathered to sing happy birthday for him. students described his reaction as perfect. >> that is so great. love it. they're appreciating. they listened. >> it is really nice to see them. obviously making an impact. >> we go back to texas on newscenter 5 at 5:00 for terrifying moments on a school bus. >> a speeding train misses that bus full of kids. why the bus driver says it was

>> at 5:30 another reason to grab that extra cup of coffee. new research that says it could actually reverse some damage already done to your body. >> then coming up at 6:00 caught on camera water seriously damaging a local va hospital. we're living in a very competitive global economy, and if we are going to succeed, we need the best-educated workforce in the world. r we should be making public colleges and universities tuition-free. we're going to pay for it vwith a tax on wall street speculation. p the taxpayers of this country bailed out wall street. r

get an auto insurance quote and see why 92% of our members plan to stay for life. >> there will no longer be ebola screening for people arriving in the u.s. from west africa. the c.d.c. has declared the outbreak in liberia, sierra leone, and guinea over. extra screening began back in october of 2014 after a man died from the disease that happened in dallas. just after arriving from liberia. two health care workers who treated the victim in texas also contracted ebola but survived it. >> a terrifying ride to school

the high school students watched helplessly as their bus was nearly hit by a speeding train. newscenter 5 has the story. >> a frightening, near miss caught on tape. a school bus filled with students getting past railroad tracks just in time as the train barrels by. >> stops in the middle of the railroad track as the train was coming and she pulled ahead a little bit more. >> that was kind of scary. >> frightened students recording the whole incident postting to social media sites where it caught the eye of administrators. >> oh, my. >> the driver telling the school the students were too loud for the bus to be driven safely. but on thursday, the school releasing a statement saying their investigation into the incident revealed the driver did not follow standard procedures when crossing the railroad track with the train coming in the distance. adding that the driver had been terminated.

wcvb, newscenter 5. >> an auto safety advocate has asked the government to reopen an investigation into jeep's fire risk. there have been more than at least 11 deaths since the s.u.v.'s were recalled. the center for auto and safety says the deaths show the recall repair has not been effective. recalled s.u.v.'s include 1993 to 1998 grand cherokees in 2002 to 2007 liberties. >> new tonight on newscenter 5 guard. >> the tool they are now using to help make rescues no matter the conditions. >> a health alert at a new hampshire school. the health alert forceting to shut down early ahead of next week's february break.

the man behind brazen bank robberies in boston. agents now offering $20,000 for information leading to his arrest. anchor: 38 degrees but tomorrow i'm hearing 50's. i heard it. meteorologist: this is good news. this is good news. but what's behind me, not quite as good news. actually, radar's picking up snow now western mass. not reaching the ground based on reports we've seen but that might change in the next hour or two. there's one little narrow strip and another one behind it. so one or both of those could make an appearance here. possibly from boston northwood around 10:00 at night, could be a little very brief period of snow. maybe another one to follow. that one, if it happens after midnight, would be rain in boston. because we'll be going warmer with a south wind developing. but could be a bit of snow in the higher elevations north and west. all this will be gone by tomorrow. then the skies can brighten. in terms of accumulation, temperatures around 32 while this is happening.

so i'd say a coating tan inch the most you'd really expect, if that. look at this. it's 60 in detroit right now. and 64 in cincinnati and 58 in pitburg. we're going to be much milder tomorrow. let you know how mild we'll be, how long it lasts and more change is to come next week. that in a little while. anchor: the search for a missing swimmer was narrowed today. the fire chief a short time ago said search crews found an area of interest after recovering luggage at the scene. search boats were seen circling the area near hazard rock. the coast guard, local marine units and rhode island state police dive teams are involved in that search. new hampshire is alerting the public tonight about norovirus outbreaks across the state. new hampshire health and human services sent out a state-wide alert about the virus. saying there have been 20 outbreaks since the beginning of the year. concord christian academy recently closed after an outbreak there. norovirus is highly contagious and typically found in large settings like health care
