karen: danielle. doug: aunt danielle. danielle: antoinette's baby was born during the "eyeopener" yesterday. doug: an early riser. danielle: you have to love this weather. it's going to be mild in the 50's. yesterday it said 40 degrees. doug: what were we saying about march or is that april? danielle: that's march. in like a lamb out like a lion. there is a little bit of a lion in this march forecast. i want to talk about snow because you're saying where is the snow, right? so far this year only 25.4 inches of snow. our normal pace is about 33.7 inches. and you remember last year. 102 inches we had at this point. we also had the snowiest ever on record in february. now we have a dry forecast in store for today. but there will be a low chance of some rain showers on monday. and then again tuesday night into wednesday. and this period of rain on wednesday wouldn't be a heavy, steady rain but at the tail end of it, we could have some snow

north and west you live. we'll talk more about that in just a second. first that rain on monday coming from this area of low pressure you see in this cold front here. it is going to bring in cooler airy vent ally but i say cooler because we're still going to be in the 50's both monday and even into tuesday. right now just a couple of clouds around it. mostly cloudy out there. we will see breaks of sunshine as we head through the afternoon. temperaturewise, low 30's in worcester. but upper 30's already in boston. 41 degrees on nantucket. so it is a mild start for us. we have a reason for it. these winds are from the south and west anywhere from 10-15 miles an hour sustained. that's a warming wind. however, it is going to be breezy through the afternoon. it also creates a little bit of a wind chill so when you step outside the door it still feels like the 20's in most locations so southwest winds all day long. notice though seeing more sunshine as we go deeper into the afternoon. we're talking about 54 degrees in boston potentially today.

52 worcester. 54 even in taunton. so it is a mild day. then tonight we're going to drop back into the upper 30's and 40's so a very mild night in store with partly cloudy skies. and then tomorrow it will turn mostly cloudy. there is going to be a chance for a passing shower or two, i think, mid morning through early afternoon from this approaching cold front. notice we stay in the 50's in most locations. the only exception with this will be the interior. you might get cooler from this cold front. let me talk about that. here we go. monday morning 8:00. here is that cold front. notice a couple showers already breaking out in southern vermont in the berkshires. by about 11:00 breaking out in and around the worcester area. there could be some around boston say, about 1:00 or so. then this secondary cold front is going to come through monday night into first thing tuesday. what that will do is bring down cooler air out ahead of our next system you see here out to the west. it's an area of low pressure. a lot of rain with this one. it will bring us soaking maybe a

locations. so let's show you that on the future cast, shall we? on wednesday this is the day for it. it looks like it could start off as early as tuesday night overnight into first thing wednesday morning but really it's one area of low pressure followed by a second one. but as the second one comes by, it is going to bring down that colder air so we could see some snow. not looking for much, if anything, just a coating. however, i want to turn your attention to the weekend because as we get towards friday and saturday we are watching the potential coastal storm. if this were to come to fruition, it would be cold enough for it to be snow and potentially for some accumulating snow especially for southeastern mass and the south coast. we're going to have to watch this one really carefully. one model doesn't even have it. again it's still seven days out. hey, it's not just over just yet, winter is not. karen: we're still hoping.

stories we're following right now. doug: three middle school girls in florida are now charged with trying to poison their teacher. police say one of the girls distracted the teacher while the other two put crushed red pepper in her soda. after taking a drink, the teacher began choking and experienced shortness of breath. police say the 12-year-olds were angry because one of them was disciplined by that teacher. karen: a cyber attack at the university of california, berkeley. the school says a hacker broke into a computer system storing financial data of 80,000 students, alumni, and employees. the university says there's no has been stolen. potential victims have been notified though, so they can watch for signs of possible misuse of their personal data. doug: the cannon mountain tramway is running again after 48 people were stranded about 40 feet in the air when the tram broke down on valentine's day. state inspectors say the malfunction that caused the breakdown is fixed and the tram is safe to ride.

good way. celtics led by 5. and at last tied the game 82-82. from there celtics 22-7. the dunk and the c's win 101-89. if you hear anyone telling you the bruins are in tampa bay they're not. if they were in tampa bay, they'd be all wet. they're in tamp playing tampa bay later tonight. that's sports. doug: tampa bay separates tampa and st. petersburg and clear water. geographic lesson in the morning. speaking of geographics it's a west coast trend come high school senior portraits with a fashion forward edge. chronicle's shayna seymour introduces us to photographer mallory parkington who is bringing the glam to portsmouth, new hampshire. >> there's a huge market right now for this age group. and out west out in california, texas, it's huge. there are girls that really want to have this super model experience.

we're trying to make them feel, you know, beautiful. shayna: mall ore strongly believes everyone should feel beautiful at least for a day. >> it wasn't until i had my daughter that i was like, yeah, i am beautiful. maybe it comes with age and a lot of people will say that. but looking beautiful and feeling beautiful, that means a lot of different things for a lot of different people. and for girls that i'm photographing, they really are looking for that beauty moment and that's what i'm trying to provide for them. everyone has an inner model inside. you know, sometimes it takes the hair and the make-up to really bring it out. and show them from the back of the camera, look at this. this is you. you're beautiful. karen: beautiful by nature. that's the catch phrase. that's the catch phrase on turks and caicos. ted reinstein hits the island fish fry, samples some ripsaw, and hangs with the local iguanas. plus can he conquer the kiteboard? traveling to turks and caicos

into the low to even mid 50's. more clouds around in your forecast at least until the later half of the day. but still not a bad-looking forecast overall. one reason why we're warm. strong winds out of the south and west anywhere from 10 to 15 to 20 miles an hour. they're going to stay this way through the day today. so just be aware of that. but low to mid 50's pretty much for everyone. en joil it. we have a mix of clouds out there and then some breaks in the cloud deck. we will see some sunshine once that sun does come up. we are watching an area of low pressure out here to the west. going to bring us some rain. we'll talk about that and the potential for snow later on this week. karen? karen: thanks, danielle. stories we're following right now. tragedy in virginia. a female police officer has been shot and killed while responding to a domestic violence call. officer ashley guindon had just been sworn in friday and was

anywhere from 10-20 miles an hour so a bit of a breeze. a little bit of a wind chill this morning but later today won't be so bad we should see more sunshine as we get into the afternoon hours. notice by about 3:00 looking at mostly sunny skies in boston. for today, mid 50's around the area. 56 lawrence. 56 in lowell. 56 even in bedford. in fact, the next three days you notice we are mild on monday at 54 in bedford. 51 on tuesday and notice on monday, too, there is a chance for some showers. we're going to talk more about that in just a second. first for you folks live inning worcester county, looking at pretty warm conditions too. low 50's in most locations. 51 gardner. bury. and then down along the south shore we're looking pretty nice. 5 in in scituate. 52 plymouth. even 50 in new bedford and then on the cape and islands, you folks may stay in the upper 40's forecast. about. where is it coming from?

see here and this cold front, so it is going to come through tomorrow morning, i think, late morning into early afternoon. the timing on the showers, in fact, let me show you this on the future cast. here we go. notice by about 8:00 a couple showers in southern vermont, western mass and it moves on the interior from worcester county, metro west. maybe early afternoon for boston, the south shore and the cape and the islands. and then we have a reinforcing shot of some cold air from this cold front although it is dry. just bringing in some clouds on tuesday and also picking up those winds out of the north and west. here comes our next system you see here to the south. this was grabbing moisture from the gulf of mexico. we're going to see a period of heavy, steady rain beginning overnight tuesday. that lnt could again into wednesday. so let's talk more about that on wednesday because the timing of this one is pretty interesting. in fact, this area of low pressure gets here overnight and then a second one develops

so it it is mostly rain because it could end up as some snow especially the farther north and west you go. not looking for much in terms of accumulation. maybe an inch, maybe a dusting. if it does come over at all. as we head towards thursday and friday, we're watching a coastal storm. this is just one model. not all the models are picking up on this quite yet but i do want to tell you that winter may not be over. here comes this area of low pressure you see and temperatures will be cold enough to support snow. this will begin probably friday afternoon into saturday morning so this could potentially be a long-duration event if it were to occur. and because it's cold, it will be snow meaning that southeastern mass may get some accumulating snow, you know, it is welcoming in march. in like a lion out like a lamb. something like that. karen: i'll take the warm-up. doug: there were a lot of f's over there.
