win in minnesota, where he is unlikely to call it quits. for democrats, the race is on. 865 delegates were at stake and clinton has added 441 of them, getting her more to halfway -- more than halfway to her nomination goal. she took direct aim at trump, while the gop frontrunner took a dulcet tone. >> i would love to see the republican party and everybody get together and unify, and when we unify, there is nobody that is going to beat us. >> trying to divide america between us and them is wrong, and we are not going to let it work. erika: meantime, bernie sanders made it clear he is not giving up. he is expected to visit michigan and maine today; the fight clearly continues. emily: thank you. massachusetts playing a big role

kelley tuthill is in boston now with that part of the story. kelley: if you went to the polls yesterday, it should be no surprise -- turnout was heavy and on pace to be record-setting. massachusetts voters gave hillary clinton and narrow victory over bernie sanders. the vermont senator had been banking on strong support from college-age voters, lafell short. -- but fell short. one politician driving many to the polls was donald trump. exit polls showed voters who consider themselves moderate, somewhat conservative, and very conservative callbacks trumped by wide margins here. he also got big wins by those who describe themselves as angry. half of all gop voters who consider themselves independently for trump. people who were unaffiliated with the party may get more than 63% of registered voters here in massachusetts. we should get those final

emily: the word of the day is windy. cindy: i was going to say rain. the word of the morning is windy. it is sucking out there. but it is not going to last all day. it will be blowing all day long -- you can see how everything is lifting from south to north. heavy downpours through the overnight, one batch offshore and another incoming. fortunately the temperatures have been warming up overnight so the wintry weather threat has shifted to southern new hampshire, where the temperatures are still running in the 30'

mid-30' s down and worcester, and look at boston -- 51 out the door right now in the plymouth area, thanks to the strong southerly wind which is now gusting over 30 miles per hour. this is where we have a wind advisory out through 9:00 this morning for the southerly wind. once it winds down it should shift to the west. it may bring in stronger wind , where we could gust close to 50 miles per hour. you' ll notice the wind coming in all day long but i don' t think we will need the wind advisory. nonetheless, a lull in the rain, but you can see off to the west these heavy downpours around amherst -- these are shifting right toward worcester, so it is absolutely going to pour in the next half hour. this is not the back edge of the

york city but once you get west of here, notice how the rain changes to snow. the west. work in. heavier downpours through 8:00 this morning and noticed the back edge of the rain shifting into boston and it is offshore by 10:00 or 11:00. then the sun comes out , but as the wind shifts to the west, look how gusty it is -- over 20, 30 miles per hour, bringing in the colder air. even though we will be around 50, once the westerly wind takes drop. it is around 40 degrees, but as you get off to the west we are down into the 30' s in a lot of spots and the colder air comes in this afternoon. the wind will be quite active

will be down around 40 degrees. you want the umbrella for this morning and warmer weather the afternoon. temperatures dropping down into the teens and 20' s -- sunshine but cold on thursday. watching this system to the south, looks like it will come just close enough to bring us a little bit of white snow. not a huge deal, and any snow would be winding down as we head into friday night. an area of low pressure clipping parts of the south coast with steadier light snow. lighter snow showers shouldn' t amount to much but we will get the system out of here, and a nice warm up early next week, near 60 once again. it should last through the weekend. emily: not the most pleasant drive on your ride to work. olessa: here is what it will look like -- wet out there, especially on the roadways with
