mid atlantic states, looks like they're under the gun. a lot of moisture coming out of the gulf of mexico and atlantic. all the ingredients are there. cold air coming in from canada. that sets the stage for perhaps a blizzard through portions of the middle atlantic states. they do have a blizzard watch in affect for baltimore, as well as d.c. so if you have travel plans down into the middle atlantic states on friday, might want to rethink that because it's gonna be pretty much a no go. then it comes off the eastern seaboard and like yesterday, there are two possibilities but i'm leaning on track 2 once again today, a more southerly track because high pressure is nt allowing that storm to come barreling up into new england. so the storm timeline during the day on saturday shows a slow northward progression to that snow, meaning that the risk of heavy snow, i think it's confined south of new england. there's the slight chance of some heavy snow i think probably from plymouth over toward and southwest of there. but boston north, i think it's

so, that looks like the heavier snow towards the mid-atlantic states. that being said, we will be on the edge of the heavier snow. feet rather than inches in the mid-atlantic states. to that. in southeastern massachusetts. the farther nortyou get, it is looking like you will snow. in addition to the snow there will be some wind. beach erosion. in the teens to 20 degrees out there right now but that wind picking up. windchill' s out the door this morning in the single digits, getting no higher than the teens as we go through the afternoon. another windy and cold day. clouds coming to overnight. chilly winds tomorrow. less wind and still dry on s get you out to the roads. shape. the gas tank. so far just a little bit slower than normal. delays up into braintree. that expressway ride is a half hour into boston. 20 minutes from 495 to 1 28. 93 southbound we have a disabled in wellington. stop and go to lace to the leverett connector. randy: at least 21 people are dead after a gun man stormed a university in pakistan. many of the victim students. the attack

the heaviest targeting the north atlantic states where they will heaviest targeting new york are just writing the edge -- ridng the edge -- riding the it' s not quite into washington, d.c., yet, but it will be as we go through the next few hours. the storm is going to work its way through the coast and start to develop. it' shore with strong wind, blizzard conditions from new york city, still that down to d.c., and this snow is going to slowly creep northward during the day on saturday, but by the evening hours, it is no mainly south of the pike, and it may sneak north of the pike ridley overnight before it pulls away very quickly on sunday morning, so the bulk of the snow is focused south of boston, particularly down along the south coast cape and the islands where they have the best chance of seeing six inches of snow with locally higher amounts. in a very sharp drop off to the north and the possibility that if you are a long or north of little as nothing or as much as a couple of inches of snow. we will break down this timeline in detail and talk about coastal concerns as well and

so the mid-atlantic states, took a big beating from this blizzard. the wind is so cold because it's wrapping around that blizzard, and then coming back around with high pressure, funneling right down into the spine of florida, which is meaning very cold temperatures for us, overnight, clear and cold. tomorrow morning, you'll definitely need the coat and jacket, with temperatures dropping to about 37 in tampa, pinellas county right around 40. same thing in sarasota, inland, 30s, north, citrus and hernando, you'll be in the 20s overnight where you have a freeze warning. tomorrow afternoon, deep blue sunny skies. it is going to be a gorgeous-looking day. if you're a photographer, get that camera ready, because it will be an ideal day to take pictures, but bring your jacket as well with a high temperature of only 57 degrees. also tomorrow, will not be as windy. winds blowing only 5-10 miles per hour. monday, looking like a nice day. and wednesday will be the next chance for showers and storms, and some of the storms could be strong potentially, but long

we do know the most targeted areas will continue to be down through the mid-atlantic states. dc-10 baltimore looking at 18 to 24 inches of snow. here locally, it looks like our chance of seeing more than three inches will be south of the pike , but if that southerly track holds we could shift all of these numbers much further to the south. we will have more on the timeline for you coming up in just a bit. emily: a state of emergency already issued for some states including virginia hit by ice , overnight. we' ll take a look at the preparations underway in the what could be an historic storm. a reminder, you can get the latest storm team 5 forecasts, live radar and real-time closings and delays with our wcvb mobile app. you can download that for free in your app store. erika: right now, an investigation is underway in worcester after the life-saving drug narcan is used on a one-year-old child. newscenter 5' s frank holland is live with new details, frank? frank: we now know that 14 month old was close to having a heart attack before ems arrived and gave him narcan. that inform

i think the brunt of the storm will be to our south, south of new england down toward the mid atlantic states. but south of the masspike, you folks are most likely to pick up any significant snow. there will be a drastic cut-off to the accumulating snow, which we usually see in these big storms. in new england right now we do have a few clouds and leftover wind for the next couple of days which will carry this weather system down in the mid atlantic states out to sea. but this the event is over here. a lot of energy. there's no short an of moisture with this storm system and no shortage of cold air either. but it's the code high pressure that i think helps us out because this thing is robust not going to move. it's going to block the storm from barreling up into new england. and even with a more southerly track, i still think there will be some snow and wind to contend with here on saturday night and sunday morning. with the more southerly track the greatest confidence of seeing significant snow. a foot or more of snow metro d.c., as well as baltimore, even up to metro new york city. then you

parts of the deep south, the mid atlantic states. friday evening into the weekend, this will be a monster for parts of the eastern seaboard. we will see the warm moist air pull in from the gulf coast.

the bulk of the snow is going to continue to be down here through the mid-atlantic states states where t are measuring it in feet up to new york city close to a foot of snow. we are not going to get as much snow. we do have concerns with the storm in addition to whatever snow we get. the winds are strong. saturday. so we're concerned with some coastal flooding, also beach erosion. winds could be gusting 40 to night into sunday morning. take a look. this is 11:00 on saturday night. notice nantucket, gusting over 50 and perhaps close to 60 miles per hour. so there is no high wind watch out for the islands for those stronger gust and that is sunday morning tide is going to be a little bit more problematic. getting organized. i want to show you the track. notice how it starts to intensify tonight into tomorrow morning. sitting off the coastline. winds are going to be pounding the coast of new jersey. blizzard conditions from new new york to d.c. the snow to the south on saturday morning. then it comes in during the day on saturday-saturday might and exits sunday morning. some say up until

millions of people in the mid-atlantic states are bracing for a major snowstorm this weekend.. but a smaller storm system is already causing travel nightmares around washington d- c. motorists found themselves in total gridlock from 2-inches of fresh snow that caused a number even president obama was caught in the mess when his motorcade needed an hour to make what's usually a 20-minute trip. the mayor of d-c says they simply dropped the ball. mayor muriel bowser (d) washington, dc bowser: we are very sorry for inadequate response. we believe that we did not provide adequate resources at a time where it could make a difference in last evening's commute. bowser promises the city will be ready this weekend for the 'snow-pocolypse.. and she's already declared a state of emergency. forecasters are predicting 20-inches of snow to arrive.. along with 40-mile an hour ahead today, do you feel like there's been more crime than ever in summerlin recently? local leaders and law enforcement are coming together to try and help teach people how to prevent these crimes. the event is being hel

this nor'easter is moving up the seaboard, and it is producing snow in the mid-atlantic states. a blizzard warning for the nation, 24 degrees. boston is going to be really it might be just south of downtown boston. it is going to be a close call. by the way, a blizzard warning for long island, atlantic city, and look at this snow, and there goes the big nor'easter up the eastern seaboard, wind gusting it can you imagine the floating and drifting snow in the mid-atlantic states? it will then shift along the north carolina and tennessee line with a few more inches, so one to three inches of not all of us are going to see that, but scattered flurries. an additional three to five inches of snow, especially in the higher elevations. it is still breezy and chilly. 27 degrees with some flurries and some going and drifting snow and finally, we dry out on sunday. as you can see, the high temperature 47, still upper 30's in the mountains, and the showers, hopefully it will be liquid next tuesday and wednesday and not any of the frozen stuff. back to you, carol and michael. carol: and don'

virginia, maryland middle atlantic states. then just south of new england, not to say that we're not going to have any snow because we run the risk of snow saturday afternoon and saturday night. favoring southerly track which will keep the heftiest strongest winds to south which is critical because there is the threat of coastal flooding with the as tomorrowical high tide. at this time i'm leaning more towards track 2. an update tonight at 11:00 and much more tomorrow. until that weekend threat of snow, you've got sunshine coming your way wednesday, thursday, friday. seasonably cold upper 20s to the low 30s enjoy your tacos. >> reporter: when the patriots take the field in denver on sunday they'll do it without mayo who landed on injured reserve for the third straight season. this time, with a shoulder irish shoe and with an 11 hadn't 4 million cap hit next year mayo may have played his last snap in a patriot uniform. he has been relegated to a backup role but with chandler jones the patriots' they could use mayo's leadership

notice the bull' s-eye continues to be down through the mid-atlantic states. the american model trending in the same direction it notice there is some snow sneaking up into new england as well here it we are going to be riding -- as well. where can be riding into this. philadelphia as well. if you are traveling to new york city, you' re likely not to see as much snow. for us, this snow is going to be working north slowly during the day on saturday.

what a mess point so that will evolve and strengthen towards the middle atlantic states. here so far most of the energy has gone to the north. this is also going more to the east so we'll keep an eye on this tonight but it will probably be liquid tonight. this band of going through another comes in night and a third one beyond that and then more energy rotating around the base of the system. that's why we think the class will thicken on saturday afternoon giving us a slight chance for rain. 35 overnight in pahrump, 37 misty. highta 66 in laughlin. in the values i we're going down to 41 degrees, we will see our sky late tonight. tomorrow expect the high temperature 61. again,. and bands of clouds going to be real enough sunshine that we should get above the 60 day remark. seven day forecast as we went through 62 on saturday but clouds in the afternoon could lead to a few sprinkles with a slight chance for rain. backside of the system was some breezes, notices will pick up some breezes. that anything ferocious as far as wind goes but keeping those around 60 to 62, stored of

the mid atlantic states, it's this area feeling the teeth of the storm right now. nay could wind up with close to two feet in the suburbs of washington d.c. southern pennsylvania and southern parts of new jersey also getting clobbered. and the winds are picking up, they'll be gusting over 40 miles per hour. it's going to be a downright blizzard for those folks. but it is moving at a good enough rate, so maybe the top expected snowfall totals, they may not quite get to 30 inches. here come the clouds, you can already see showers off the impressive because the radar is on shore, so those rain showers are looking pretty good. if they can survive their trip across the desert, expect them here tomorrow afternoon. but also pretty much be prepared for the mountains to serve up most of it. up north the cloud should be through by tomorrow night, on the back side shiitely cooler and a breeze on sunday. pahrump 39 tonight, mesquite 40. 43 in boulder city. highs tomorrow 66 at the lake. 57 in indian springs. and 68 in death valley. for the las vegas valley overnight, 44 for th

all across the mid atlantic states. as for what they can expect there, well, we do have blizzard warnings in effect for d.c., baltimore to philadelphia. the jersey coastline, of course, encompassed in this. long island. that blizzard warning goes up to the connecticut coastline too and of course includes our folks here on the vineyard. now in terms of why it's a blizzard warning, these winds will start to gust. notice by 1:00 we have wind gusts on nantucket at 55 miles per hour but atlantic city experiencing 60-mile-per-hour wind gusts. now we go forward into time. that system gets closer to us. those winds really ramp you. we could see wind gusts maybe, i think it's a little high, but near 70 miles per hour potentially on nantucket. that's close to hurricane force winds just so you folks know. these winds will back down as we head through day of sunday in talking. the mid atlantic is the bull's eye. and baltimore. antoinette and doug. antoinette: danielle, thank you. a brutal winter storm is americans. at least nine de

this is headed for the mid atlantic states. new new england we are right on the northern edge of this powerhouse storm so the risk of heavy snow, i think it's only slight at best for new england. you have to head farther south, this would be during the day so traveling down the 95 corridor, once you get to new york city and south of there, looks real rough, especially philadelphia, baltimore, washington d.c., richmond, fredericksburg. in locations they have not seen a storm like this in several years. we have had our fair share over the last few years, especially last year, but the rest of heavy snow meaning 6 or more inches of snow, i think it's confined to extreme southeastern new england because we are on the northern edge of the storm and usually with these big storms there is a drastic cut-off in your snowfall potential, meaning along the south coast, you may end up with 6, 7, 8 inches of snow right at the water's edge and you work your way up to fall river, it's half of that plowable snow, 2 or more inches of snow not lik

and then as it pushes farther to the east, the middle atlantic states could see 24 to 30 inches of snow. the wind is going to blow, in north carolina it will be ice, the worst kind of precipitation. we'll have more on that and our own forecast in a couple of minutes. >> jessica: thank you. a live look now at mccarran airport where the east coast storm is already affecting flights on the west coast. many passengers are stranded in las vegas, trying to make changes to their plans. in fact a lot of flights have already been canceled. >> marie: that's happening at many airports on the east coast including charlotte where american is canceling all of its flight tomorrow. charlotte is expected to be slammed by an ice storm. american says thousands of passengers will be impacted and normal over the weekend. of course we're keeping tabs on this monster storm. coming up at 11:15, what you need to know if you or a loved one us flying anywhere over the next few days. more breaking news tonight, this out of washington state where police are investigating a shooting at a movie theater near seattle.

still focused down to the mid atlantic states. add to the northern edge of this creeps in during the afternoon there will be some snow, maybe even sneaking up north of boston through saturday evening, saturday night, then this will also pull away quickly on sunday morning. may be a little bit of mixing on the outer cape, but this along the south coast, where we have the winter storm watch, expecting the most snow. potential of six inches or more. the amounts a drop-off the further north you go. you want to stay tuned. this storm has been changing and the slightest little bit north south will shift the bans of snow, but the south coastal areas likely the most impact with the snow and the strong winds may lead to coastal flooding at the time of high tide early on sunday morning. all right. out to the roads now. quiet weather today. we apply it as well. live look here. coming to the bottom of the screen. traffic is nice and light. let's go to the maps to see the rest of your ride as you travel south. not seeing any major volume. minu

the snow pounding down the mid atlantic states. blizzard conditions there. snow reaching the western end of long island into the new york city metropolitan area. snowing in new jersey and philadelphia. here it's dry. sure, there are clouds, by look at this to the north. very dry air, no clouds here. that's because of the high pressure settling farther south. that's what we expected. if it had been farther north, we would be lifting the snow totals up and bringing it farther. doesn't look like that's happened. judging by all the clear sky, the high is exactly where we thought it would be which means the forecast is still a goal there's the snow reaching the islands by 10:00 in the morning. the southcoast of new england, some snow showers ahead of it still possible, but the real steady snow will reach the pike the early afternoon and notice, doesn't go much farther north. every once in a while snow farther north of the pike. for the most part, it's the pike south eastward into southeastern massachusetts, especially the cape and islands with the heaviest snow f

the heavy snow risk will be centered in the mid atlantic states, washington d.c., baltimore, philadelphia in particular. and once you get into new york the risk of heavy snow really drops off. the challenge with these powerhouse storms is that usually on the northern edge, which new england is going to be, there is a drastic cut-off. i mean, like all or nothing going from flurries to 6 inches of snow in just a few miles. so that's what we're up against right now. still trying to pin down where that cut-off is to the storm. and the timing of the storm would be late in the day saturday, more likely saturday nights and early sunday morning. so a plowable snow, meaning 2 inches. i think it's possible in boston, 1 to 3 inches of snow possible late saturday evening, saturday night. i don't think it's likely north of the pike. i think you might have some flurries merrimack valley, cape ann, worcester hills and the area most likely to meet shovels and plows that would be plymouth over toward fall river down foot south coast buzzard's bay region, 2, 4, 6 inches of snow likely in those locations la

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 7 mobile and tablet app. >> kim: following a developing story right now, the f.b.i. joining the investigation into bomb threats made against schools across the region. less than one week. it was back on friday when someone made threats to schools in a new mexico of cities and downs -- numbers of cities an

this is going down no the record books down through the mid atlantic states. d.c. second greatest snowfall on record for them. 29.3 inches. number one for baltimore. there you see philly and new york city as well. well over two feet of snow in new york city. around here not as much. on the cape we did get over a foot in east falmouth. on the vineyard, of course, 15 inches there. the amounts dropped off the closer you got to boston. even in the city there were ocean enhancements so we did get six inches of snow. you can see the amounts on cape. mashpee 10.5 inches. sandwich a foot. parts of south coastal massachusetts and also plymouth you can see about 10 inches of snow there. farther north that you went but for this season now in boston, we're up over 10 inches. pretty similar to where we were last yee at this point but still behind average today which is about 20 inches of snow. we're shutting the snow machine off for the next few days anyway. 24 in worcester right now. it is 28 in boston. we have dropped to the teens in plymouth. there are some 20's on cape cod.
