not huge changes. in the 20s and 30s early this morning. 40s to around 50. that's the best we can do today. it's already dropped back to 39. otherwise, most other places are in the 40s now. here's where we're headed tonight and one more time, we do have some frost advisories and freeze warnings for eastern massachusetts. tomorrow's high temperatures will be deceiving. they won't be reached until late in the day and at night. the temperatures actually will be rising into tomorrow night but it will chilly. there is the freeze warning that i talked about and the frost advisory. right along the shoreline it kind of depends on the wind direction. if it goes a little north-northeast, then a little bit of ocean cloudiness will come in and modify the air a little and won't be quite as cold. it's a possibility of frost and the freeze slightly inland. >> other areas further inland will surely have a freeze but they have already had it. not the first one to be sure. >> watching the system going through the midwest, that's snow in parts of michigan.

entire system is going to slide eastward and move right across southern new england late tomorrow, tomorrow night, and first thing friday. it looks like it will be a significant storm in terms of the amounts of precipitation. so here's how it goes. some ocean clouds will try to back in late tonight or tomorrow right along the shoreline so there could be some cloud, maybe a spritz of air. further inland, increasing clouds tomorrow. here comes the snow for the berkshires. remember, they are further west, ay elevation. all of that is necessary to produce snow. maybe even into the worcester hills of new hampshire it could start as snow during the course of tomorrow afternoon. then we'll see that snow area tomorrow night lift northward. mountains in new hampshire, mountains of vermont, will get some snow and a mix or change. the mountains of maine will score big and we'll get a good dose of rain overnight tomorrow night is when the heaviest rain

the evening commute. it will be winding down during the morning commute on friday, but there will have been a lot of rain overnight thursday night. a blustery day on friday. we don't look for complete clearing. lots of clouds and a few light showers could be left over. you can see one of our computer models showing widespread. average or more, also showing there could be snow accumulation and here's what i'm talking about in the mountains of maine. that's some six to 12 inches of snow out of this storm. letter check it out for the next seven days. it's a stormy period from late tomorrow into early friday. it also is going to become very windy tomorrow night especially on the cape and it will be a windy day on friday. saturday, starts out with sun. may end with a brief spritz. that's it and sunday looks like the skies will clear. much more coming up at 6:00. i'm meteorologist harvey leonard. >> thank you, your health

comes to treating millions of people who have diseases and injuries impacting their eyes. emily tells us it centers around contact lenses. >> it may look like your typical can't lens but this one packs some extra power. >> this lens here can release a medication at therapeutic levels for at left a month. >> a lens that dispenses drugs, treatment for devastating diseases like glaucoma, where pressure grows in a person's eye and eventually causing blindness. >> the problem is, they don't notice the vision loss until it affects the central vision. at that point it's too late. >> the doctor works at mass. he says while eye drops are the primary glaucoma treatment 50% of patients forget to take them, and applying the drops can be a challenge. the special contact lens could be a game changer. >> the medication is given right to the patient, right through the lens and it passes. they don't have to actively remember to put it in.

their lens for eighte years. the key was designing a lens that would release the medication in measured doses overtime. >> we came up with this particular design, which has a drug filament in the middle that releases drugs slowly but it can also contain a very large amount of drug. the polymer film is not a disc which covers your field of vision. it is a ring, sort of around your eye so you can see through it. glaucoma may only be the beginning. the doctor says the lenses show promise in treat everything from corneal tears to dry eye. >> we've shown that it can deliver antibiotics, steroids, and glaucoma medications. >> how the lens coos be used is part of the ongoing complex research. in the end, the goal for doctors is simple. >> my hope is that patients use this and safes people from becoming blind.
