but these are the possible scenarios that we talk about. there will be plenty of cold air in new england through the weekend. a storm will form. that much we're confident of. and it'll move through the middle atlantic states friday and during the day on saturday. then the challenge is which tract does it take. if it takes track one it would be up to new england. that would be a significant storm for southern new england. we would be talking several inches of snow as well as high winds and combining with the astronomical tides could be a coastal flood track. track two would put us on the northern edge of the storm. also reduce the chance of any significant coastal flooding because the wind will be focused farther south. i'm leaning toward track 2. track 1 is still an objection, we'll get closer to the weekend and we'll be able to pick and choose which track we go to. we'll watch it for you. >> adam: get the latest on the weather headed our way

place he has been, denver, houston, they do it well and we've got to do it well. if we don't that is a problem. i'm sure we'lling challenged by that. >> reporter: it will be how kubiak's defense fares against tom brady that could decide who moving on to super bowl 50. >> put the game in tom's hand last week and threw the ball a lot. it was coming out fast. so you never know what you are going to face. but we know how great a player he is and got his weapons back intact so that is a big challenge. >> reporter: whether it's their head coach or players broncos have been complementary of brady and the patriots to the point of not sounding confident leading up to sunday's game. joe amorosino, 7 news. >> adam: ahead of the big showdown tom brady is having fun. he posted this picture showing his tempt to get into the end zone. brady wrote hey july yon how about a little more blocking next time?

>> announcer: now 7 weather with meteorologist jeremy reiner. >> reporter: all right. cold and windy conditions right now. that is the case overnight tonight. we hold on to the cold for the remainder of the week. we'll get rid of the wind. then we focus our attention on a potential storm this weekend. saturday evening, saturday night and sunday morning. that would be the possible timeline that it would bother you. we'll get into that in a second. outside we've winds gusting 30, 35 miles an hour, that will fade away. big storm up in even canada again rating all of the wind. that fades away. our potential storm is just now getting to the west coat. that is critical because the weather information that we put into the computer models

their thing we have much more data when the storms are over land versus over the ocean. you have to rely on satellite and the occasional shift in the -- in the a lot out there right now. once the storm moves ashore later on we'll have all this copyios amounts of data to throw into the weather model and see what they do. there are signs that the trend is a little farther south than we're thinking a day or two ago, the jet stream that's going to look like this. when the jet stream creates a circle the cut off, the storm will have a tendency to cut off from the rest of itself and not be very friendly and not share its moisture with locations north. last year when we had our first of three blizzards. the first one which started the blitz that will cut off that will l. it's much closer to new england. much closer to us. this go around it's going to be farther away. so the thinking right now is that the stripe of the heaviest snow will be from the middle atlantic states d.c.

perhaps around net row new york city and it might get up to the south coast portions of the south shore and the cape but i'm thinking the heaviest is probably too far away for the city of not. leaning more towards track 2 than track 1. blow. the snowfall amounts might lead to something like we dealt with sunday night and monday monday. that type of snow would be track one. track would would be talking a foot or more. a better idea on that track tomorrow and certainly on thursday but again if you don't like snow, route for track 2. that is what i'm leaning to. i still have a snow flake in there on saturday. there is going to be some snow saturday evening and sunday morning. until then it's about the cold being bold. see you at 5:30. >> adam: still ahead on 7 a story of survival. why doctors refuse to give up hope for a man found
