to the republican side, donald trump is the big winner tonight. he spoke from palm beach focused on clinton. senator cruz who chucked up a couple of wins is vowing to continue to fight. >> i'm going to be very good for the world. i'm going to get along with the world. you're going to be very proud of me. even you will be very proud of me as a president. but we have to build our country. our country is going to hell. and hillary clinton doesn't have a clue. she didn't do that. >> so long as the field remains divided, donald trump's path to the nomination remains more likely. and that would be a disaster for republicans. >> senator marco rubio still without a win. says he's staying in the race as well. everyone's trying to put their spin on the race but math will be setting in. ed: no spin here. all right. guys.

it's been good. harvey: certainly had some crazy ex-twreem winds. -- extreme with the winds. before this overnight is done, the wind will become a factor again. i do want to show you the temperatures. we're at 32 in orange. 34 in worster. precipitation is only an hour away. after that, the tendency is going to be for the temperature to rise. it's already rising in the south coast. the wind is gusting to almost 30 in block island and over 25 miles an hour in pits seal. the winds will increase, the temperatures will rise but the precipitation is starting to rapidly move. once more it's in this region that there can be an hour or two of freezing rain before the milder temperatures take over. and they will because the storm

and when it does that we get the counter clockwise wind. it brings in the wind, the warmth and the wetness. commute. it will end after that. you have a warm start tomorrow. don't expect that to be the same when you return home because it will be much colder and windier. 1:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m., the winds could be just as strong out of the west and northwest. 30, 40 miles per hour. -- through the afternoon hours. so the temperatures go up overnight and then by late morning and lunch time, they go flying down. so we're back to freezing in boston late tomorrow afternoon. 20's to the north and west. it will be windy and cold through the overnight tomorrow

spite of bright sunshine. after we get through thursday, then we have to look at friday. there is going to be a disturbance coming ott of the ohio river valley. we'll be on the northern edge of the snow shield on friday. right now, early thinking is that the core of the storm will stay too far south and east to give us big snow. we have small accumulations and maybe more than that down around the cape and the islands. if that storm should nudge closer to us then it would be a different ballgame. check it out. we're into a colder period after that warm, windy and wet start to tomorrow morning with the cold weather staying through the weekend. temperatures moderating next week. but both saturday and sunday though cold look like they're be on the dry side. just a chance of a few flurries on sunday. in terms of any real wintry weather friday is the day to watch. maria and ed. ed: we were following two stories. hillary clinton and donald trump
