>> christa: now we have the strong potential for some snow this weekend. let's get the latest on the storm's track and today's conditions. here is chris lambert. >> chris: the farther south you travel, the better chance of seeing that snow over the weekend. 28 in boston right now. 24 in worcester. we have had plenty of cold air in place. no question about. that winds still gusting close to 0 miles an hour. windchill factors down in the teens. will remain cool and sunny through the rest of the afternoon. temperatures generally running close to 30 degrees. those windchills holding into the teens to lower 20's. blizzard watch now in effect from baltimore down through d.c. really honing in on the mid-atlantic. a very high risk of heavy snow and strong winds. in fact, blizzard conditions down from baltimore into d.c. that would spread up to close to southern pennsylvania and down into northern virginia as well. you notice we are right on the edge in southern new england of the risk of some heavy snow. i'll give you a moderate chance of seeing heavy snow

back into connecticut and rhode island. this storm will cut itself off in terms of allowing for the potential of the heaviest bands to ride north. and it looks like the heaviest bands may fall just shy of southern new england or just come on the southern new england coastline. if you ask me, are we going to see a plowable snow in it is still possible boston out through worcester. it is more likely farther south the lower you go. we will talk moren on this storm. the 7-day forecast coming up. >> christa: the countdown is on for the afc championship game in denver. as we get closer to this brady-manning showdown, the pats are dealing with a blow to their defense. also kind of a war of wards brewing right now. nicole oliverio is live at gillette. there was a news conference not too long ago. >> reporter: that's right, christa. as you mentioned, the words that were brewing. the broncos had some unkind

bill belichick and brady, neath addressing either one of those. their focus, as always, is on the broncos. brady knows how difficult denver is going up against the defense. he knows his record at mile-high stadium is 2-6. he knows he lost to them in overtime. their focus this week is on the broncos. and not what the players are saying which was calling brady both a cry-baby and a whiner. >> playing so much 17 times is pretty cool. especially someone as great as him. to play against, you know, those peyton manning-led teams, you know, you have to play 60 minutes. you are going to be in for a tough game. and you know, they will take advantage of opportunities that they get. we are going to have to do a good job taking care of the football. you don't want to give it to these guys on a short field. going to be a big challenge for us. they present a lot of challenges on defense. they have, you know, the best defense in the league.

the best coverage. you know, one of the best teams against the run. so they do a lot of things well. certainly, it's a huge challenge to go out there and beat them. >> reporter: brady blocking out the noise. when asked if he saw the news in new york papers today. he said no. again, about brady complaining when he doesn't get a flag or a call doesn't go his way. brady said he didn't see the images. so he couldn't comment. >> christa:, remember 7 news is your home for conning coverage of the pats in the play-offs. joe amorosino and trey daerr will be live in denver over the weekend for the big game. live reports beginning tomorrow here on 7. >> sarah: firefighters investigate a deadly fire in scituate. the house was known to be filled with clutter which could have made it difficult for crews trying to fight

coming. after a fight over farming. iowa's governor told reporters he wants to see the texas senator defeated. >> it is no surprise that the establishment is in full panic mode. >> nancy: trump has not discussed the possibility of palin being his running mate. he said that there would be a role somewhere in his administration for her. nancy chen, 7 news. >> christa: a new poll finds that bernie sanders' lead up in new hampshire is growing. he has 60% support compared to hillary clinton's 33%. the new hampshire primary begins february 9. meantime, more controversy over hillary clinton's e-mails. a letter from the inspector-general says some of the e-mails that had come from information that was classified at higher levels than previously known. those e-mails were reportedly labeled as top-secret special access program. they are they are said to

>> sarah: all right. welcome back, everybody. surprise. you are on candid camera. how you doing, chris? >> chris: you know what? it happens once in a while. we get a surprise around here. throw us for a curveball. doing well, you guys. you guys doing well as well? better day out there this afternoon. versus yesterday afternoon. i know. it is still cold and breezy through the day. but it was not as bad as yesterday. 28 in boston. 30 in norwood right now. winds still gusting to 0 miles an hour. they are not as strong as the wind gusts, what we saw yesterday. gusting 45-50. the windchill factors instead of being in the single digits, we are in the teens at this point. not a huge improvement. some improvement. we have held on to more sunshine through the day. i do expect more sunshine to be prevalent this afternoon. cool and breezy day overall. windchill factors running about 15-20. temperatures, upper 20's. lower 30's this afternoon.

for more of what to expect the next couple of days, over to danielle? >> danielle: low 30's as we head into the next two days. there. that is the good news. now, we are going to continue to keel with those gusty winds for the day today. especially as we head into the evening commute. coming home from work today. now, as we head into tonight, you can see, the winds are starting to die down. more of the blues working out west as an indication of. that that will continue through your thursday. still breezy, though. you will also notice those winds turn a little bit more northwesterly. we are still going to be dealing with windchills in the teens today. by tomorrow morning, they are dropping back down to the single digits. so this is what you need to dress for. now, our air is certainly cold enough for the snow. but we have had a lack of snow so far this season. by this time last year, we had 5.5 inches of snow in boston. and in worcester, we had over 13 inches. we could see some more snow as we head into the weekend.

>> chris: danielle, yeah. we have plenty of cold air in place. that won't be the issue. this season so far in boston, only 4.3 inches of snow. i don't think we will add tremendously on top of. that the reason why the worst of the storm will be down in the mid-atlantic. this storm's energy diving into the southeast. this will be the creator of the huge ocean storm off the carolina coastline. toward the virginia coastline. this is going to throw a ton of moisture back. there is a blizzard watch posted from baltimore down through d.c.. you noticed the sharp cutoff here in northern pennsylvania. that sharp cutoff likely going into southern new england as well. and there certainly is the consistency here on some of the forecast models showing that the worst of the precipitation, the farther south you go. where that tight gradient sets up, still not exactly locking in on that. the best chance of a plowable snow would be the farther south in southern new england you go. back through southeastern massachusetts, rhode island, down into connecticut.

worcester. the farther north you go, the least likely. it will be a sharp gradient. if that changes, it would affect what we expect. as of now, that is what it looks like. coastal flooding. expecting major coastal flooding to be an issue. down along the jersey shore. down to delaware and maryland. perhaps into the virginia coastline. farther north, minor coastal flooding during high tide. and perhaps pockets of moderate coastal flooding on the east and north-facing shorelines. even if the brunt of the snow stays to the south and the bulk of the heavy precipitation stays south of new england, i do expect the gusty winds. 35-50 miles an hour along the coastline. a couple of high tides to watch, saturday night, 11:00 p.m. and sunday morning, around 11:00 a.m. an astronomical high tide. saturday. and the winds out of the north, northeast here. may push in some of the water to give us that minor to moderate coastal flooding. as of now, that is the way it

the snow, when it would move in, would likely be saturday afternoon. saturday night. tapering off early on sunday morning. guys? >> sarah: all right. still ahead, from move where star to real-life hero. jamie foxx talks about helping a man escape a burning car. >> christa: also a mother takes on would-be car-jackers to protect her kids. and for regulating wall street. one says it's okay to take

they both ran away like cowards. >> reporter: the would-be car-jackers ran to a get-away car driven by a woman. their high-speed get-away caught the attention of a lie ye yeah police officer. >> a police patrolman who had no idea what just happened, follows the car. the car ends up crashing against the fence. >> reporter: all three were arrested and booked on charges of attempted car-jacking and fleeing police. the judge has ordered all three to stay away from the two women they are accused of trying to car-jack. if they post bond. and these three are still in jail on bond. good news in all of this: no one was hurt. roring from hialeah, 7 news. >> sarah: the search for the gunmen who opened fire inside

just over an hour ago. >> christa: this comes after a string of threats were reported yesterday. we do understand the f.b.i. is already investigating those. let's go to steve cooper in methuen. steve? >> reporter: right. so christa, at this hour, we can tell you there are a number of developments including the fact that methuen high school students are now being sent home for the day. all this began unfolding... you can see a lot of students coming out of the buildings right now. this all began around 9:30 this morning. the school superintendent telling us there was a threat that was received by a teacher through an e-mail. and that touched off the evacuation at methuen high school. they were quickly evacuating. the 2,000 students and staff. they were sent out into the cold. officials being cautious here. nothing has been found. the students were moved to two nearby elementary schools in methuen. but told to leave their backpacks out on the sidewalk so they could be searched. state police bomb-sniffing dogs arrived on the scene earlier. checked out those backpacks

actually back picking up those backpacks. then they will be sent home for the day. of course, all this coming here at the high school after several other schools yesterday were dealing with the same story. we just spoke with the school superintendent here in methuen a few moments ago. >> i think i can speak for all superintendents. this is out of control. of course. we have to follow protocol. the children's safety is absolutely paramount. for every superintendent in the commonwealth. the disturbance for our students during the school day and staff is huge. it sets us back. again, we have to do what is correct. and this impacts a lot of kids, parents, and other schools. >> reporter: this is sky 7 hd over tewksbury high school. the building was put into an internal lockdown after a threat was made earlier. today, all tewksbury schools

according to the state police, 15 schools across the state yesterday received various bomb threats. there were 7 at schools on friday around the state. the f.b.i. is now the lead agency, looking into the person or people responsible for these threats that are being made. as we come back live. you can see, again, these are tewksbury... we should say these are methuen high school students who are basically going to the front of the elementary school here, picking up the backpacks that they were told to leave on the ground there. they were checked out and cleared by the state police bomb squad that was here earlier. and now, according to the school superintendent, they are letting the high school students leave for the day. again, out of an abundance of caution here. nobody is taking any chances. as you heard the school superintendent say, this is frustrating for them. it is frustrating for the superintendents and also for law enforcement agencies all across the state right now. that is why the f.b.i. is searching for the person or the people responsible for all of this. that is the latest live in

cooper, 7 news. >> christa: we are preparing for a heavy dose of winter weather. at this hour, we have cold and windy weather. but there is a strong potential for weekend snow. so for the latest on the track here, here is chris lambert. >> chris: the question, is how far north will it travel over the weekend? winds gusting to 30 miles an hour. yesterday, they were gusting 45-50. so yes, it is windy outside. not as windy as yesterday. windchill right now, 14 in boston. nine out in worcester. so this isn't the storm that is moving into the ohio valley now. that will drop snow down there. that pushes off to the east. what we are watching for the weekend is this energy coming out of the rockies now. pushing down toward the southeast united states. and eventually, up the coastline. in fact, so comfort there is going to be a big storm across the mid-atlantic, the national weather service has posted a blizzard watch for this stretch of i-95. essentially close to baltimore. heading down through d.c. and even points south. for us, in southern new

how much snow we get. the worst of the storm will be down across the mid-atlantic. and the best chance of a plowable snow, the farther south you go in southern new england. south of the mass. pike, especially down through southeastern massachusetts. the other thing we have to consider, whether we get a lot of snow or not, the astronomical high tides are high. there will be a coastal flood threat here for the saturday night and sunday morning high tides. as we do have a gusty wind along the coastline. more on that coming up. >> christa: the countdown is on to the afc championship game. sunday out in denver. practicing today. they are also dealing with a blow to their defense. mayo out for the season. brady says also that he is looking forward to facing off against peyton manning. here is what he had to say earlier. >> playing someone 17 times is pretty cool. him.

those peyton manning-led teams, you have to play 60 minutes. you are going to be in for a tough game. you know, they are going to take advantage of opportunities that they get. so we have to do a good job taking care of the football. you don't want to give it to these guys on a short field. it is going to be a big challenge for us. they present a lot of challenges on defense. they got, you know, the best defense in the league. the best rush. best coverage. you know, one of the best teams against the run. so if they do a lot of things well, and certainly, it's a huge challenge to go out there and beat them. >> christa: don't forget, 7 news is your home for continuing coverage of the pats in the play-offs. joe amorosino and trey daerr will be live in denver this weekend for the big game. and their live reports begin tomorrow. >> sarah: police search for the suspect in a double shooting at a blue line "t" stop in east boston. cell phone video capturing the panic on the platform when a man opened fire. two victims are seen lying on the ground bleeding on the

the m.b.t.a. police say one man got off a train and another opened fire while still onboard. then they say the suspect ran off, still shooting and that's when the second man was hit. >> i mean, people were trying to run back on the train to get away from the gunfire. people just started dispering everywhere. it was insane. >> the first instinct was, you know, was one of fear. is this a public shooting? >> sarah: police believe the two men involved in the original fight knew each other. >> christa: we are following more news now. a bank robber on the run up in bedford, new hampshire. police say that this woman walked into the td bank on south river road last night, demanded money. and claimed to have had a weapon. but never showed one. the woman took off after the teller gave her some cash. a former boston latin academy student faces up to two years in prison after being convicted in a serious crash. it left two classmates paralyzed. one of the men was in court in brighton yesterday when the

20-year-old. the crash happened back in 2013 in jamaica plain. a jury found that he was speeding when he lost control of his s.u.v., crossed the median, and hit a pick-up truck head-on. sentencing, by the way, set for next month. >> sarah: an appeal denied for disgraced f.b.i. agent john connolly. the florida supreme court will not hear the appeal of the former james "whitey" bulger handler. connolly was convicted in the killing of the president of a florida gambling operation. the 75-year-old was sentenced to 40 years behind bars. to that case. this appeal was his last hope. connolly was first convicted in 2002 for helping whitey bulger's gang when he was an f.b.i. agent in boston by tipping them off about investigations. >> christa: new at noon, stocks taking a dive on wall street today. the dow so far has dropped about 55 points. ... 535 points. stocks plunging on the price of crude oil.

we are watching the weekend. how much and if snow is headed our way, chris. >> chris: yes, indeed, sarah. the brunt of this storm will be down through the mid-atlantic. the question, is how far north will some of the snow get? 28 right now in boston. that wind is gusty at times. 20's to near 30 common across the area as we speak. you take a look at these winds gusting to 33 in boston. 23 in hyannis. 31 in norwood. 29 in worcester at this time. these numbers have been consistent all day long. in terms of some stronger gusts. we have held a lot of sunshine. a few clouds to work in. as we go through the overnight hours tonight. this is not the storm system that we are tracking. separate system and that one really affects us in new england. you note the air mass to the west of us, not a lot of change. you see these 20's extending back to buffalo, new york. the next couple of days, the atmosphere not changing all that much. we will lose a bit of a breeze. we will hold temperatures running into the lower 30's. not a lack of cold air heading into the weekend. for more on what to expect

danielle. >> danielle: thanks, chris. the good news: not quite as cold as it was when we started the week. these temperatures in the low 30's are slightly below where year. not as gusty the next couple of days. still definitely breezy as we head into this afternoon. we are still dealing with wind miles per hour. into the overnight hours, winds dying down a bit. massachusetts. the winds do turn northwesterly and still they are right around 20 miles per hour. we are still dealing with the windchills. feeling like the teens today. by tomorrow morning, you can dress for the single digits when you are heading out the door. but temperatures are rebounding back to the teens throughout the day as well. not as cold as the last few days. nonetheless. still quite chilly out there. we are having a slow start to winter this year so far. last thyme season, we had over five inches of snown boston. over 13 inches in worcester. so far, just four inches in

as we head into the weekend. chris, back to you. >> chris: we all know last winter was a slow start. you know where we finished on that one. not seeing that big turnaround. we could be aing some snow as we get into saturday evening. and saturday night. take a look at the forecast here. and what's going on across the rockies. this energy will be diving southeast. grabbing gulf of mexico moisture. atlantic moisture. there will be a low pressure system off the carolina coastline. off the virginia coast. that is quite intense. this is going to drag a lot of moisture back and dump a lot of snow in the big cities, essentially from philly to baltimore. down into d.c. now, the key to this is going to be the track of the low pressure. if it's this far south, and starts to slide east, there is only so the heavy snow can get. right now we are on the edge of the heavy snow line across southern new england. in fact, i would say, you know, the biggest snow totals from this, likely coming out of the mid atlantic. when you get your way to long

snow. your chance of heavy snow diminishes, the farther north you run. the best chance of a powerful snow here, down across southeastern massachusetts. running across rhode island into connecticut. still possible to have enough in boston out through worcester. major coastal flooding expected with this storm just because of the prolonged on-shore winds down there and the strength of the winds. we will get a strong northeasterly wind. late saturday, saturday night. and into sunday morning. out of the northeast and into the north. we may have pockets of minor to moderate coastal flooding. especially east to northeast-facing shorelines. like scituate. even sandwich harbor there. we will watch that for the high tides coming in at 11:00 saturday night. and 11:00 sunday morning. especially that sunday morning one. as we have had a chance to push a lot of this water toward the coastline.

flooding and beach erosion. something to keep an eye on. in materials of the timing of the snow, if we get into some of the snow over the weekend, saturday afternoon, saturday night, wrapping up early sunday morning. that looks to be the time frame. >> christa: all right. if this cold weather has you dreaming of someplace tropical, you can find bar gains on airfare within the next few weeks. oil is trading below $30 a barrel, rock-bottom jet fuel prices have led ticket prices to a three-year low. with spring break coming up, book is now. get on that. trip advisory revealing the best hotels in the u.s. one here in the bay state made the top three. number three. behind a hotel in napa valley, california. and the sherry nether land hotel in new york city. the three hotels receiving the best reviews from millions of travelers as part of the travelers' choice awards. >> sarah: if your travel plans take you to japan, you will try to get a little chocolate

"but i am going to miss votes, i'm running for president." but he's been missing votes for a long time.

>> reporter: in 2005, tom brady and the patriots won the super bowl. >> they look at brady and go, why? i say "i like the name." >> reporter: he has quickly found himself the odd man out at school. >> nobody to talk to. and at home. >> he is usually pretty good. sometimes he gets too annoying. we send him to another room. reporth in 2007, peyton manning led the kolgts to a super bowl victory. then son number two came along. >> i'm peyton. >> reporter: yup. brady's younger brother is peyton. since manning's move from indy, game time has been tense. . >> usually, i am on the floor. and then peyton is on the couch. >> reporter: mom and dad will have to sit in the middle during the championship game. >> when they are head-to-head, they will be wrestling. and yelling at each other. >> reporter: brady is the smack-talker. >> we have four underneath our belt. he has how many? i forgot to count. >> two. >> oh, yeah.

>> reporter: actually, peyton has one ring so far. his name sake is learning how to keep up with his big brother. >> oh, yeah? well, the patriots.... >> yeah. nice comeback. >> reporter: as for sunday, if the broncos lose, things could get ugly. >> i'm going to punch my brother in the face. >> reporter: strong sibling rivalry thanks to mom and dad who won't have much sympathy for their oldest come sunday. in a house divided. >> three on one. we will just tie brady up and throw him out in the garage for two or three hours. (laughter) >> sarah: brady will only watch the game with his family if there is food downstairs. if the pats lose, he will root for the broncos in the super bowl. >> christa: up next, adele ready to take center stage at one big music awards show. we have details coming un. >> chris: cold and sunny in the next few days.

>> christa: adele is topping the list of artists performing. she won't be eligible to receive a grammy this year. she will take the stage. leading nominee kendrick lamar will also perform. as will the weekend and little big-town. l.l. cool j. will host the february 15 show. >> sarah: grunge rock pioneers pearl jam announcing a summer tour. that includes two shows at fenway park. this is pearl jam's first show in massachusetts since 201.

friday august 5 and sunday august 7. no information on ticket sales is available yet. >> christa: sting and peter gabriel headed to worcester. the rock stars will play at the dcu center july 2. this is part of their rock paper scissors tour. they will perform in 19 north american cities. tickets go on sale next monday. i feel like the directory you called lets you know what all the events are coming up. >> sarah: yes. it's good: i need one of those. let's talk about the weather this weekend. chris, a lot of people watching the pats game. >> chris: yes, indeed. you know, i love the fact that we have a few cold days now. we are looking forward to summer concerts already. especially at fenway park. all right. upper 2's, lower 30's this afternoon. once we get into the weekend, we are also watching not only the pats game. but what's going f on in the mid-atlantic into the northeast. a heavy snow risk high. from southern pennsylvania. very high from southern pennsylvania down through d.c. blizzard watch posted for d.c.

now, this storm itself, to be that strong, that far south and to close off, meaning it doesn't have much more room to work its way northbound, that means that we are right on the edge of where some of the heavier snow can go. and there is going to be a huge gradient from hardly any snow to some heavier snow. the best chance to see some heavy snow tries to work on into new england. we will get through long island and perhaps the south coast of new england. so if you live, especially, along route 44. down into southeastern massachusetts, highest chance to get the shovels and the plows out as we get into the weekend. north of the mass. pike, that chance will diminish the farther north you go across northern massachusetts up into southern new hampshire. regardless, it will be windy. especially down the coastline. into sunday morning. guys? >> sarah: all right. that will do it for us. thank you for joining us today at noon.
