boston. but sometimes, like this afternoon, they can make the trek all the way across new england coming from the great lakes. that's what happened out there throughout the afternoon hours. but other than the cold air coming over the warmer lakes, no real weather player on the chessboard tonight. this front down here will stay put and that will not bother us this weekend. 30s in town. boston at 34. norwood 33. bedford at 32. but there is some wind out here. if you caught jadiann's report early in the newscast, there was wind blowing the hair around. so it feels like 22 in the city. worcester feels like 17. fitchburg feels like 21. for tonight, partly cloudy with a chilly breeze. temps 20s to low 30s. when you factor in that wind, if you are out and about for night two, it will be cold out there later on tonight. through the day tomorrow, mix of clouds and sunshine. cool, but these numbers are actually where we should be for this time of year, but it's adjustment, especially considering we just came off the warmest december on record. and where we are going, early next week, temps will be below normal, way below normal. boston tomorrow afternoon, 41.

dracut at 40 degrees. amesbury at 38. back into the worcester hills, temps in the upper 30s and out on the cape and the islands, numbers reach the low 40s and chatham at 43. traveling across the nation, again, some scattered showers across the gulf coast states, florida and back through portions of texas, especially south through dallas. the west coast is dry tomorrow. there will be a storm approaching san fran and seattle on sunday. closer to home, clouds and sun on sunday. dry. for traveling, skiing, and perhaps taking down the christmas lights. temperatures both weekend days near 40 with again no bitter wind out there. doing some skiing. looks great for both tomorrow and on sunday. temps on the slopes running in the middle and upper 30s. so we move the view out of new england. and here you go, here is some arctic air just waiting to be captured and yanked down into new england. jetstream in december wouldn't allow for that. it looked like this. but now as we work toward sunday night and more likely monday and tuesday of next week, the jetstream will take on this look here.

on cold temps, really cold. on 7 forecast. we're not talking record cold, but againing when you're coming off such a warm december, temperatures monday and tuesday will feel all this much more colder with temps only reaching the 20s. so far no snow in the pattern that's coming at us early next week, but stay tuned. that may change next weekend. enjoy this weekend. >> elizabeth: two babies born at the same time now sharing the title of 2016's first born. here's carmelita skaza born in worcester at 12:02 a.m. and just four pounds and eight ounces. also born at 12:02 was little zoe coming just two minutes after the ball dropped at times square. tufts medical center delivered this first baby cochampion. her parents calling her a winner. >> i was surprised that she came... that she was the first in boston at all. so i would be happy with just that, but if we can take the state, then we'll take that, too. >> a little celebrity going on.

i haven't seen us play this bad in a while. >> we missed our -- he made some big saves. he was our best player. we didn't play the way we should have in front of him. >> alex: so thanks to the winter classic, the patriots had to adjust their schedule this week, leaving after practice yesterday for their season finale against the dolphins. that's two days earlier than normal for a regular-season game. the pats practicing today at florida atlantic university, but there was a significant player missing from the team's charter to fort lauderdale. julian edelman was reportedly spotted working out at gillette stadium today, meaning the patriots' wideout didn't make the trip to south florida and will miss his seventh straight game. dont'a hightower, chandler jones and sebastian vollmer among the other patriots' players listed as out for sunday. >> there's only one team that gets the number-one seed. it's great if you're that team because it means you've done things better than anybody else over the course of the season

hopefully we can finish strong. >> alex: and the celtics are back at the garden tomorrow hosting the nets at 3:00. i'm alex corddry. that's 7sports. >> elizabeth: alex, thank you very much. >> find your sweet spot today with dunkin's chicken apple sausage sandwich. enjoy sweet apple and savory sausage together for under 400 calories.
