worcester about three inches of snow. foxborough 2.5 and many towns on the list coming in between 1 and 2 inches of snow. the highest accumulations on the cold surfaces, you know, the decks or back into the grassy surfaces. on the pavement we did catch a coating to an inch or two of snow. that was enough to give us some slick spots. on the driveway this morn. air temperatures not that bad if you don't have a strong wind. we certainly have a strong wind gusting right now. 40mph. that gusty wind with us throughout the day. because of that, a wind advisory in place until 5:00 p.m. for gusts up to 45mph. that wind driving down the wind-chill factor. this is what you dress for. it feels like 4 in worcester right now. feeling like 11 degrees in the city of boston. actual high temperatures this afternoon, mid-20s. north and west of boston, upper 20s. more on the seven-day forecast ahead. >> time now for fast track traffic with danielle gersh. let's look outside. route 93 heading into boston, you see some slowing. let's head to t

minus five the wind chilled worcester. 1 in boston. winds gusting over 40 miles per hour at times with the current gust right out in at 38 in boston. 39 in worcester. the winds frequently gusting 40 to 50 miles per hour during the day. because of that there's a wind advisory in place for those strong wind gust until 7:00 this evening. still windy tonight. just not as powerful and overall it's a cold day with gusty wind throughout the afternoon as temperatures slowly struggling to warm up into the mid 20s. what are we expecting over the weekend if we do get a major storm. i expect it to be saturday into sat day night. with the snow and wind potential there. in terms of the storm forming it's a blockbuster down through the mid atlantic. the question is how far north does it track. more northern track would bring some significant snow and wind in here to southern new england. stays more to south. that would minimize impact. something to consider as we head guys? >> time now for fast track traffic. >> good morning, everyone. happy tuesday

worcester, it's going to be all snow. worcester right now at 31. jaffrey at 26 and on the other side of the arctic front. buffalo at 20 degrees and that cold air comes charging into new england later on tonight. the precipitation winds down by 9:00, 10:00 tonight with clearing skies, lows between 24 and 29. tomorrow blustery and cold with partly to mostly sunny skies. the actual air temps will be near 30 degrees but forget that. it's the wind. a feisty westerly wind. this is real nasty. this is whatt's all about in the winter time, the cold, biting wind that rips right through you. wind chills all day long in the teens. usually i show you the forecast temps the next day but tomorrow i think it will be more like the wind chills. 19 in boston. 20 on cape ann. back in the worcester hills a mix of clouds and sunshine with wind chills. these are wind chills in the teens. even out on the cape and the islands, winds gusting 40, 45. occasionally near 50 miles an hour keeping the wind chills pinned down around 20 degrees. thursday it's cold but much less wi

, suburbs, surrounding worcester, 32. you can see the temperature there. 40 degrees in boston, 41 in plymouth. we were kept very mild last night because we had the wind coming off of relatively warm ocean water. highs today they don't move a whole lot from where we're the at. we'll climb a few degrees. 44 for boston. 38 for worcester this afternoon. and that's above average for this time of year. that's why we're seeing patchy drizzle rather than snow flurries or snow showers. here's the system that's tracking that light rain activity through our area for today. but really the rain is this soaker down here, gathering up that moisture from the gulf of mexico and as we move through the timeline, you can see the rain doesn't really kick in until we hit tomorrow morning. looks like 8:00, 9:00 we start to see some showers and you look outside. then the action really kicks in, between about noon and 6:00 p.m., we're in for some downpours, we're in for the potential of rumbles of thunder and also some very gusty winds. that's th

minus seven in worcester right now. the cold air extends back through northern new england, back into southern canada, down to the south and west, back into the mid atlantic, as well. the air mass overall the next couple days not changing up that much. tomorrow a few degrees warmer than it is today. we contend with that gusty wind all day long. we're not moving the needle all this much temperature-wise. we'll go from mid-teens this morning with bitter wind to mid-20s this afternoon with the gusty wind, and that wind advisory is in effect through the day for winds gusting 40 to 50mph. more on that weekend storm coming up in a bit. >> sarah: all right. time now for fast track traffic with danielle gersh. >> danielle: thanks, sarah. good morning, everyone. it's back to work, back to school today. that means more traffic on the roads. looking good so far this morning. leverett connector, zakim bridge, no problems to tell you about. let's go to the map, heading into town, 93, route 1 no issues to tell you about. from the bra

in fact we had a beautiful sunset but there is still a potential as you can see there near worcester that we do get one of these lines show up really quickly and make their way through and that could drop visibility so something will be watching closely heading through this evening and also still tracking the potential for that storm. more details to come in just a few minutes . >> anchor: thank you, bree. so the snow fell for most of the night was like a light, steady accumulation . >> anchor: by this morning some areas seeing almost half a foot. waltham in the higher snow total areas. that's where we find 7's susan tran live with more for us. susan? >>> well, adam, all that snow overnight and into the morning left this a winter wonder land and it's light and fluffy stuff just table a look. five inches here in waltham it meant several people here in the community who had the day off had to go out there and snow blow or shovel or just get that you can see peterson here first took care of his driveway, he said this was just the secretary time that he brought his snow blower out and af

teens in spots like worcester. keene at 14. and we have a couple of flurries leaking into the keene area. the spot to really watch is the cape and islands for a couple of those flurries. through 6:00 this morning, nothing changes. in fact we could go down by 1 or 2 degrees. and the warm-up starts by noon and the warm-up starts by noontime here. we are crafting 30 degrees in boston. still a lot of upper 20s on my map. mostly cloudy in nantucket. snow showers four of all the spots today. that is the most likely to get the coating of snow. during university noon, we actually end up brightening up. with that said, we can see snow a coating up to possibly an inch of ocean-effect snow showers over the cape and island. a little patchy coating toward central and western massachusetts or southwestern new hampshire. 20 to 34. early clouds and a few clouds turn a little brighter before our next weather maker over the weekend. >>> julie, over to you for a check of the roads. >> julie: things quiet as you head out the door at 4:02. route 1,

best chance is from worcester to fitchburg. westward today, and then we will see ocean-effected snow showers pop up later this morning and that will give us a chance for some accumulations here, hyannis, chatham, the vin talking under an inch appear some places like nantucket impact event. 7:00, teens and 20s. by noontime, 29 degrees. 30 at 3 p.m., and we will brighten up here during the afternoon. a little bit breezy with 20-mile-per-hour gusts, by 7 o'clock o'clock, nice and dry and a couple of clouds and another weather maker coming to town, but this weekend, will take you through coming up. but right now julie grauert with live drive time traffic. >> julie: shiri, good morning. things looking good right now and still early and volume is light and reasonable. expressway, cruising at average speeds of 60 miles per hour. pike clear from framingham through the weston tolls through the allston/brighton tolls. 93 south and route 1 looks good. live drive times. 23 minutes on the pike from 495 to mass avenue. 11 minutes on the expr

worcester and boston. three in was worcester right now. eight in boston. that is the coldest you've been since late february. single digits up on the north shore, southern new hampshire. you get into plymouth and on to the cape. we've got the wind and a little bit of snow keeping your temperatures in the teens and 20's. look at the wind chill though. it feels like 12 below worcester. seven below in boston. these wind chills are going to be running below zero through about 8:00 this morning and then they only creep up into the teens gradually this afternoon. so despite some sunshine, temperatures only recover into the 20's with winds making it feel like it's in the teens. the exception to all of this from plymouth down to the cape because we've got our own little snowstorm going on down here this morning. this is ocean-effect snow. it started up yesterday. it's been continuing overnight. you can see right now just south of plymouth, all the way down towards sandwich, bourne and back to wareham, got a pretty decent snow band. edgartown and over to hyannis up

head toward the worcester area. let' s get right to chief meteorologist harvey leonard. meteorologist: the first flakes have started in nativist and temperatures will be very in eastern close to i-95 in boston. there is heavier precipitation and when it comes down in a burst, even areas that get rain could change to snow. the other thing about this is not only the intensity but the brevity. is moving from west to east so quickly. worcester is 30, orange 29. it is coming down with intensity that could impact the roadways. boston and providence are above freezing, so it may not have as much road impact and may mix with rain unless it really comes down. s is a look at the timeline as this enters into boston. notice the is right there i-95. it may start to turn over to snow at times, but the heaviest precipitation will be exiting very quickly. that' s about it for this quick little event. it is milder, anywhere from no thing to an inch. north and west, there could even be pockets of in higher elevations. a little while. anchor: breaking news out of iran, american sailors bei

worcester one or two flurries and nothing as far as any further accumulation goes. also notice we got actual temperatures in the 20s with 21 in worcester but because of that 25 miles per hour wind your feels like temperature is four. those are the wind chills and wind chill in boston right now even though 26 , wind chill is only ten in keene, new hampshire . but wind chill is nine in plymouth, 25 . your wind chill is 11. so that's the trend today. despite the fact that we got upper 20s popping later today and boston and beverly and lawrence and portsmouth , new hampshire. noon time today, partly cloudy skies, clouds mostly leaking into central western mass and southwestern new hampshire and where we could see one or two flurries but over all dry and windy, wind chills stay in the an end at 5:00 p.m. today and at that point winds will start to weaken, still kind of braezy before midnight tonight and by the time you wake up it were morning, winds will be substantially lighter and temperatures in the teens and any little tiny bit of wind on top of that will make it fee

worcester, providence setting records. portland, maine. hartford, connecticut, got to 61 degrees yesterday. so we had the warmth all brought in here, of course, by the wind which did gust 40 to over 50 miles per hour across the area. pretty wild storm. those winds are still active this morning. we're still getting gusts over 20 and 30 miles per hour. coming from now. they're coming from the west. that is bringing in dryer air and it's bringing in colder air as well. but those winds are going to make it feel like it's in the 20's all day long so wind chills an issue today. we are going to see some sunshine though. that will be a nice change of pace after the stormy weekend. and it is short lived because by tomorrow evening, we're talking about a little round of some light snow getting on in here. you can see things pretty quiet now. the skies are in the process of clearing out. lake-effect snow bands coming across the lake. these will focus across new york state and northern new england today as we have high pressure settling in. that's why

mid 40's in worcester. you're going on feel those winds, too, out of the south and west at 10-15 miles an hour. and we're also going to have to leave in some clouds through the day today. there will be a few peeks of sunshine though as high pressure is pulling away. we're watching our next system here out to the west. it's a warm front/cold front combination. this warm front is going to lift through later on this evening and really start to bump temperatures up for tomorrow. so for tonight, we drop back it's a pretty mild night overall. and then tomorrow look at how warm we get. 50 in worcester. 56 in boston. 57 lawrence. and even 57 degrees on the south shore. notice those winds turning from the south and west to the north and west as that cold front comes through but it takes its time cooling back our temperatures. the other thing that is going to happen on monday, there will be a chance for a shower or two. in fact, starting out the day dry but it's really in the afternoon, i think, these showers start t

feels like four degrees in worcester. that's what you have to dress for what it feels outside with the strong gusty wind out of the west in. even a couple of snow flurry stretching all the what 84 mass pike interchange back to berkshires. couple of heavier snow showers back into berkshires. the moisture all the way from lake ontario. you can track that down wind here liking up perfectly heading into north western massachusetts. big time snow from the snow across mountain. half a foot o foot of snow. some falling quickly. last night 6 inch of snow. that was quite a potent system that worked through here. for us mainly 1-2 inch of snow. mind it strong winds out of the west and the temperature this much. upper 20s in the city of boston. strong wind in place for howl long that last over to daniel. storm. temperature in the upper 20s are feeling colder because of the wind chilled. for tomorrow winds are calming theying with us through unch time. they still gust around 30 miles per hour toward the lunch hour. heading into eveni

worcester 2. boston, in particular the south shore, you'll have the snow flakes battle it out with the rain drops and it does snow farther inland. 128 west you can see it's only going to be in the form of snow. it's right on the doorstep of the city. again as you head out toward hopkington. snow in worcester. now overspreading 495 working up through the merrimac and down through the 95 corridor. from a rather potent weather system that's moving along at a good clip. you notice as you look right here, already winding down. it's not like this is with us all evening and overnight tonight. by 9:30, 10:00, party's over. snow showers coming in over the next one to two hours. you hold on to it until about 8:00. there you go in the worcester hills, the back edge of it, moving into the worcester hills and the city of boston with a couple of lingering there flurries. back around forth rain and snow and temps in the middle 30s will limit accumulating snow but still it won't take much to make those roadways o

new bedford as well, 30 search for worcester. but those temperatures are going to continue to get a boost as we head into tomorrow and then to start off the first week of february which is kind of funny because the mid level disturb answer is just to our north kind of spreading some snow showers through the northwestern oklahoma and we've seen that up on the north shore. we've got a lot of raindrops mixing in here and a lot of that isn't even reaching the ground. you can see the current temperatures are well above freezing in the area and the mid to upper 30s. 34 for worcester. and these numbers don't budget a whole lot overnight tonight. partly due to the fact that we have this is going to usher in that milder air, plus when you have winds that are kind of mixing that air near the surface it keeps those temperatures from dropping overnight. winds gusting between 20 to even 30 miles per hour still into the evening hours and that breeze will stay with us as we head into the overnight hours. so i think most spots staying above free

to 30 in worcester. dropping below freezing in the worcester hills. winds still gusty between 25 and 3mph. we'll continue the see a breeze throughout the day. wind-chill factor, 17 in worcester. 28 in boston. winds of change are upon us as we go through the day today. temperatures are flatlining and then falling down a bit as we get into the afternoon. mostly sunny skies prevailing afternoon. a lot more clouds to the west of us downwind of the great lakes and some heavy lake-effect snow if you watch vikings and seahawks yesterday, you know it was a cold game out there. that cold air passing over the relatively warm waters of the great lakes. creates a lot of lake-effect snow. this doesn't look like much back through alberta. but it's a system that we'll days, because as it cuts through the midwest and into the northeast, it picks up moisture and energy and promises to bring us some rain and snow showers by the end of the day tomorrow, especially any time after 2:00, 3:00 p.m. note along the coastline and down through southeastern mass, we'll start off

it is snowing alan worcester, -- snowing in worcester. steady snow around hartford. it is raining in providence, right near the snow line. it suggests that it will line up somewhere close to i-95. 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.

so around worcester and the worcester hills. the accumulating hills in worcester as well. the seven-day forecast another shot of some snow after sunday into early monday. >> blair: should be good for game time today. >> jason: absolutely. >> heather: that's what we like to hear. not too great for the tail getter, but. we'll have full coverage of the patriots and chiefs tonight. join us back here tomorrow

worcester. i'm sewer the secondary roads are covered at this time. very interesting system, very small and quick moving. not going to dump big amounts of snow but the evening commute affecting some areas more than others. look at this, southeast of nantucket, that is thunderstorms. that shoals there's a lot of energy with this system. it has the rain area and the the thunderstorm is well south and east of nantucket. however, we also see the rain area around providence be you snow farther to the north. temperatures mild around the coastline but it's warm above us. you can still get snow and snow and rain mix but once you get away from the ell -- coastline is where you have the biggest impact of the snow. time for the evening commute. however, back in here, that is basically the arctic front and that's snow squalls that are falling across bing hamton, new york, right now. there is that front and behind that front is air is very cold and windy and that's what we're going to have tomorrow. see how t

and in worcester we're actually at 26 degrees. now what's going to happen through the day is we should warm up into the lower 30's. we will have a lot of sunshine in worcester but we could see some clouds in the afternoon the farther north you go, say, the merrimack valley, seeing some clouds around lunchtime or so. you'll warm up into the mid 30's. but it's not just the air temperature we're concerned with today. we're also talking about the fact that we have winds out of the west at 10-15. so even though you see high 30's, maybe even pushing near 40 degrees along the south shore and the cape, it's going to feel more like the lower 30's and upper 20's due to that wind. and that's going to continue tonight. we'll drop down into the 20's and 0's. and tomorrow we do it all over again. a touch warmer in the lower to even mid 40's maybe along parts of southeastern mass. a little more clouds though i think tomorrow especially in the afternoon. and then watch what happens. it's all this cold front bringing in that arctic air on sunday a

single digits back into worcester county. four in orange. three in worcester. nine right now in boston. you get down towards taunton to plymouth. that's where we're in double digit territory with 20's on the cape right now. that's where that wind is still producing ocean-effect snow bands but also giving us a wind chill so it does feel like it is below zero right now from worcester to boston on north. wind chills are running in the single digits on the south shore and the cape this morning. and notice the forecast wind chills here through about 8:00 a.m. they're below zero in many areas including boston. you need to dress for wind chills that will be running sub zero and even by noontime, this is what it is going to feel like either side of 10 degrees so you're going to want to bundle up throughout the day. we get into the afternoon and wind chills will get no higher than the teen. the sun will be out. this is satellite and radar composite. outside of southeastern massachusetts the skies are completely clear. so sunshine from the get-go here but across parts of

the temperatures are stuck around 20 in worcester and elsewhere low to mid 20's in worcester. it won't change much today. notice by lunchtime it's still only in the upper 20's. sure, we'll have sun shine but the westerly winds will hold down the wind chills. we'll get back some sunshine but the storm is strengthling and delivering snow in northern maine but the flow of air is coming from the great lakes where you see how much colder don't climb too much. highs today struggle to reach close to freezing on the cape and that will be the warm spot. otherwise we're in the 20's and feeling cold with the wind, day long. single digits and teens. we'll stay mainly clear in the early part of tonight and overnight a few clouds come in degree. teen. a cold day tomorrow but not as windy as today as the storm pulls away and high pressure develops to our south. we're watching a milder flow return here on friday. high temperatures tomorrow come up to 30 degrees. we're up around 40 by friday afternoon and that's important because watch this storm. one area of low pressure back to the great lak

also want to show you worcester here. you can see bright blue skies over worcester. a lot of sunshine but don't let that sunshine fool you. don't forget bostonust a gorgeous sunrise ongoing. it's going to be a pretty nice day out there. although with that wind out of the west, you're going to feel it. the wind chill values. so we're starting out in the teens and 20's across the area. for wind chill values. now your air temperature is in the 20's in worcester, low 30's in boston. and nantucket. now here's what's going to happen. as we go through the next couple of days, this weekend isn't too bad. we're actually running above average. we should be near 37 degrees this time of year but notice what happens on monday and tuesday. the coldest air mass all season works its way in. because of that, the timing works out for some ocean-effect snow showers so we could see them at the coast and on the cape. when all is said and done, we're looking for anywhere from about a coating to one across most of the coastline but the cape and nantucket could see anywhere from 1-3 inches.

it's winter today. 58 in boston yesterday. 56 in worcester. change. look at the 24 hour temperature chang across the area. readings are about 30 degrees colder than this time yesterday. 32 colder in springfield and 31 colder in worcester. so a little spring street didn't last for too long and across the northeast great lakes cold. cleveland at 15. lake-effect snow machine is cranking and that's more like it. real feel temperaturess and the gusts will diminish through the lows 212-- 12 to 18 for most. 22 in downtown boston which is age for this time of year. average low in boston is 22 for the state. looking at the lake-effect snow streaming off erie and ontario we are watching for tomorrow didn't look like much a impulse is moving towards the squad cities and as it dives in it will be more potent for tomorrow. no issues in the morning but a cold start. sunshine and the clouds will build by lunch and the winds pick up tomorrow and tomorrow's wind will be out of the south southeast and we will watch the -- we will watch the snow showers fill n some of t

we could get freezing rain along route 2, worcester hills, northern worcester county through the overnight hours tonight. then the action really gets going into tomorrow morning. heaviest rainfall from about 5:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. in the colder air is working in from the northwest before we're done with this event so it could change it over to a quick burst us. so that snowfall forecast rain, wet snow by the time we hit those mid morning hours. a coating two inches mainly points north and west of 128 possibly that coating along 495 but i still think more likely to and then several inches of snowfall in the higher terrain country. winter weather advisory that is in effect from 11:00 p.m. tonight through noon tomorrow for those slick spots that could potentially form so if you are tailgating town in foxboro you won't see any snowflakes but you might need that umbrella for tailgating by kickoff though we are dry, a bit breezy and those temperatures are holding just above the freezing mark. perfect football weather and we'll show you that extended forecast with another shot at snow coming up
