tonight low 5 to 12. 14 in downtown boston under clear skies. big difference. less wind. the cold is a lot easier to take even though it's chilly outside. a southwesterly breeze tomorrow. the westerly wind is a milder one. that will help the temperatures to rebound. after a cold start and sunrise at 7:13, a cloudless sky, pleasant rebound. should feel great, great sunshine. high near 40. chilly evening heading home from work tomorrow night. 42 plymouth. new bedford up to 43. lawrence 39. a day above average for this all told it should feel great. into thursday, the mildest day of the week. we will have more southwesterly winds. well into the 40s. friday a change. we will have more clouds building in, the wind starts to come in off the water with the high close to 40 and sets the stage for just enough cold air for light wintry mix saturday mainly in the morning and mainly i'm watching the interior from 495 north and west. enough cold air locked in, maybe sleet and freezing drizzle. not a major storm but causing things to get tricky on the roads. a bigger storm potential in

here is downtown boston, low clouds coming in on the ocean. 37 in boston but the wind is off the water. however the wind might become lighter, and that they in part allow the cold air from above to come down. there is room for the temperature to drop a little bit once the snow really starts. if you see worcester' s temperature, you can see the areas that will have the roads impacted the most. the areas that are freezing or below. even where it is just a little bit above, if there is a burst of snow, then you can have problems temporarily. as you head toward cape cod and the islands, there you are probably going to see a situation where it will be rain mixing with wet snow. here is a wider view right along the south coast. close to providence -- a mix close to providence. the back edge is already ready to move into western new england in an hour or so. here' s a closer look. worcester county -- that is an hour-by-hour look at how this on that rain/snow line, the pink area runs from providence to boston, but it has snowed to the north and west with the north and west with a few heavy poc

temperatures falling back they will continue to drop back 5 to 12 for the overnight lows. 14 in downtown boston. a chilly night and seeing pond and lake ice increasing. still a dangerous time for the ice. it hasn't been cold enough for long enough. keep that in mind h. cold temps out the door. midday bright sunshine, less wind. nice rebound. into the 70s at lunch. afternoon up around 40. holding in the upper 30s tomorrow evening with the sunset getting later at 4:27. a high generally around 40 for boston. lower 40s for the cape and 30s across worcester and southern new hampshire. better. warmer still into thursday. high pressure is in control. that allows for milder air. one thing we will watch the end of this week, friday the wind starts to turn on shore you can see the clouds starting to move down from the gulf of maine. it will be cooler on friday. enough cold air being fund in to give us icy weather to start the weekend. i am watching late friday into saturday morning. especially for the interior around 495 points north and west could be freezing rain and sleet. this is not a potent storm s

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't forget, we have the closings and delays posted on wyff4.com and on our wyff app. michael: you will find it at the tap

nothing happening in downtown boston but we will have snow and rain showers off to our south and west and then it does move through metro boston between say 7:00 and 9:00 tonight with an intense burst of some rain, maybe even a rumble of thunder on the south shore. that's how much rain is in the atmosphere. the whole thing will wind down this evening. i think in the city of boston it's going to end with a few snow flakes and showers with flurries lingering back into the worcester hills. farther west one to two inches of snow likely up until about 8:00, 9:00 and then it's all over. inside 128 it starts as rain and then it will end as just a little bit of snow. so a quoting -- coating to perhaps an inch is possible in the city. on untreated surfaces it won't take much. poor travel conditions going on. by midnight tonight again conditions rapidly out. road crews do their thing. not anticipating any issues for tomorrow morning's compute. >> thanks so much. >>> let's head out to dan hausle whose out in framingham with more on the road tracker. now. here on the pike the roads are dry, the s

about to happen over the next one to two hours, i think at the immediate coastline including downtown boston, it is going to start with rain or at least go back and forth between rain drops and snow flakes and so that will cut down on from this weather system here, the center of the storm passes well to the north of us but this arctic front right here is generating some snow out ahead of it and that's what we track for the next four to five hours. it's fast-moving. it's a skinny weather system. it will foul things up if you have plans this evening. we're just getting into the brunt of the snow and the rain along the 95 corridor. 128 is likely it take on the form of snow. i think into the city of boston as its winding down. that's when the cold air will take hold and shove the relatively mild air back out to sea. the coastline, cape ann, perhaps down to cape cod, you get a burst of snow showers, perhaps a squall or two and it's over for everyone around 10:00 tonight. ending as some snow in the city. a coating to an inch possible. 128, west of 95 we're thinking one to two inches of snow. if th
