boston around 7:00 or 8:00 tonight. then we're all in the 50s. stay that way into tomorrow morning. cool just a little tomorrow afternoon. but then it starts to turn somewhat colder tomorrow night and friday, a much different day. not a big temperature rise. strong northwest winds, colder air taking over at that time. so that's the way it all shapes up. let's give you the whole thing for the next seven days and show you how it plays out. stormy conditions overnight. into early tomorrow. winner and mild tomorrow. colder and windy on friday. saturday starts cold. little milder in the afternoon. quite a bit milder, sunday, into monday. after that. so we'll get through this storm and then it will be a roller coaster temperature ride for a while. >> harvey, thank you. tom brady household has a new addition. a really cute face. small dog that they adopted, from a pet shelter in l.a. he joins a family that has two
