in nantucket, washington street is also closed. after the northern ethics, main street was also closed due to flooding. that is the latest on the cindy: it could set up of being one of the snowiest winter seasons. as the storm wraps up, we have flurries tomorrow, 55 tomorrow morning, there goes the steady still a lot of clouds. more of a persistent north, northeasterly wind tomorrow could keep scattered ocean effect snow showers going into the coastline especially through the day on tuesday. we are also watching wednesday for the pattern right now, with a lot of energy swirling nearby. it may spawn an additional storm that will cut to the south on wednesday. it may come close enough to bring steadier, light snow to first half of wednesday. the amounts look like there could be additional accumulation of light snow on wednesday. before the storm kicks out. we watch an arctic front coming happens to the temperatures by the weekend. highs saturday and sunday only sunshine and morning were temperatures by sunday morning the coldest air

near 30 in nantucket. and you are seeing those gusts rather up 40 to near 50 miles per hour currently. so let's go hour by hour here. and when you can expect winds to die down. not until noontime. not until maybe 7:00 we see them come out of the blizzard criteria and after midnight we begin to see the winds coming down and leave us alone. tomorrow morning we are waking up with a whole different story up with a whole different the day planner, the snow increasing through the morning drive from the south to the north and wind and snow impact north and wind and snow as well. stays cold, and we are going to have snow chances off and on through at least thursday, even potentially flurries left over friday as a strong arctic front moves in. morning. 9 degrees is a cold weekend ahead as that weekend is always in view. >>> all right, so all the stars came out to celebrate super bowl 50, including beyonce. her big announcement during the game, and the backlash over her new music video. >>> a man escapes a local hos

we are snowing on nantucket and the vineyard. notice too it's having a hard time kind of lifting north ward. that will be the theme this morning. it will take a while for the snow to push on in. still quite far away. typically a storm more than 500 miles away from us would not be affecting us like this. this one is so big indeed it is. through the morning hours by 8:00 a.m. the bulk of the snow still over southeastern massachusetts but by mid to late morning here it comes and once it gets in here late morning through the midday hours, we are talking about really intense bands of snow. snowfall rates of 1-2 inches per hour. roads are going to become snow covered and slippery. the visibility will be reduced here. this intense snow is with us right up until the evening commute with the snow only slowly tapering off as we get into the overnight hours. so when it is all said and done a widespread 6-10 snowfall across a good portion of the area. north and west of the worcester area. those ocean-effect bands cape ann down towards the so

you can see wind gusts over 60 miles an hour i think on nantucket and the cape. this is a very, very powerful storm, as cindy mentioned. then it will be pulling away. later on this evening. that should allow those winds to back down as we head through the overnight hours. so here's the forecast. cindy: today will be the most potent day in terms of we're not done with the snow just yet. the snow tapers off through the overnight hours. notice by 5:00 tomorrow morning still scattered areas of light snow during the early part of the morning. there's a let-up during the day. you notice right here bands of snow, ocean-effect snow may hug the coastline during the afternoon. not expecting much additional accumulation on tuesday but there be off-and-on snow showers over the course of the day on tuesday and then again on wednesday we're going to be watching another system cutting by to our south interacting with upper-level energy to the left. this could spread some additional very light snow on in during the day on wednesday particularly areas south of boston. so it is ve

this line goes all the way down to nantucket. these downpours are basically being caused by a river of fast- moving air. the downpours canned drag the rain down to the surface. this is a damaging rain potential. this has been heading eastward. we have trees down in several areas, several thousand power outages as well. the good news is it is moving through so quickly, it is as well as cape ann. the end is in sight. peak gusts at 65 miles an hour at blue hill observatory, foxboro 53, strongest winds are all around the heaviest rainfall. as we head toward 8:00 tonight the strongest gusts to start pushing their way out to see and return to westerly wind which will bring in cooler and drier air. although it is mild right now, that won't last for too long. we will return to the cold stuff overnight. take a look at the hour by hour, by 7:00 offshore except for the cape and the islands. by 8:00, it will be exiting that area as well. as we see this happen the temperatures will fall. anything wet will start to freeze back it. many towns w

the areas we will be watching are sandwich, nantucket. it is a down graded version of what we had going on. it is this area we are talking about. it is because of the wind and the tide later tonight. >> the area mike just showed you, our team of reporters have spread up and down the coast. >> we get started with jack harper and he is in marshfield and flooding has been a major problem there. >> it is back on 13th street and the snow has picked up since we talked to you last. we have one of the bands coming through right in my face and coming across the ocean. across the coast the test came earlier today. that was with the high tide just before noon, and it was one of those high tides that started to crash over the sea wall about 10:00. it was pounding over and bringing rocks and debris as they usually do. they had the normal flooding, but then that dissipated and they were able to clear the streets of snow and gravel. people felt afterwards, the locals, that they pretty much lucked out. >> it was a lot higher than usual. if it went over t

the heavy the heavier over nantucket and the vineyard. dry boston back along the pike and areas north and west. and cloudy and windy. provincetown. that snow is knocking on the door right now moving back to the west, northwest at around 10 to 15 miles per hour. so that's going to take it over into plymouth county next year in the next hour, and then by say 6, 7 a.m. right into possibly the boston area during the morning drive time. so we do want to keep it off the roads as we start to see conditions going downhill hour by hour, again, from the southeast southeast to the northwest. look at the totals. right now expected snow amounts. this is through tomorrow 8 to 12 possibly the south shore through plymouth county, and even into the western part of the cape. how far out into the eastern areas areas the islands a little lower and back to the best of boston -- the west of boston 5 to 8 very likely up to the north. next tends to the seacoast of new hampshire and you go farther west to keene, maybe 3 to 4 inches of snow and lower amounts farth

it's near nantucket as we speak. it will probably gone in about 15 minutes. i just heard from larry in centerville and he's as we got three quarters of an inch of rain in 20 minutes. you don't see that this time of year in boston very often. the strongest wind and rain has moved off to its east right now. the heaviest is just leaving gloucester. this will all be exiting by 8:00 tonight. it is very fast-moving. wind gusts 60 miles an hour atop blue hill observatory, six -- foxborough 53, many over 40 including boston, bedford, 41 -- 44 nantucket. it's hazardous driving around. there's a lot of debris on the street. continue until 10:00 tonight. the strongest winds are going to be in the next couple of hours and then they will die down. the other story is we are up in the 50s, 54 boston, colder air is just across the border into new york. we will go subfreezing tonight. most of that will be after midnight. it is not a flash freeze but things will freeze up overnight , 20s central massachusetts and 32 in boston by tomorrow morning. will take a full look -- we wi
