I keep saying, there has to be a blizzard around the corner somewhere. Chris even if we get a big snowstorm, when we start getting to the end of february and early march, the sun angle is so high in the sky, the snow has a hard time lasting a long time. So the further we can push off a last winter we were locked in the snow and cold beginning in january and through february. Today a High Temperature of 58 in boston. 40s and 50s through next several days. Compare that to last year when we were stuck down in the 20s and 30s. Not only did we have cold air in place, we were doing plenty of shoveling and snow blowing this time last year. February 2 ngsd we picked up 16 inches of snow and yet another big snowstorm that we had. 45 in boston. 48 in plymouth. These numbers a long ways away from supporting any snow in southern new england. The winds out of the southwest this morning about 10 to 16mph. That breeze turning more to the northwest behind this front later on today. But its starved of moisture, so there are a couple scattered showers back across up state new york and pennsylvania. As it slides through southern new england, i think a lot of that fades away. We may catch a Late Afternoon sprinkle across the area and perhaps a couple showers down through far southern mass, but i dont expect a lot of moisture with this storm. There will be more moisture with the storm across the rockies. Right now denver 31 this afternoon. Snow breaking out across that area. Portions of the plains over next coming days here and Severe Weather down across the southeast. Now that system will work into new england. That will provide us with rain this go around. So its mild today, cooler air starts working in behind the front tomorrow. But its still above seasonal levels. Were talking about temperatures in the 40s for High Temperatures tomorrow. So, yes, its not the upper 50s, but its not the 30s either. So we have one cooler day tomorrow, and then on wednesday, we punch through again into the mild sector of the storm system. So we also have quite a bit of rain wednesday afternoon into wednesday evening and a gusty wind coming in out of the south. Forecast as we go through the next couple days calling for an isolated shower or two mainly across southern mass, southeastern mass this afternoon. Dry tomorrow, then the highest rain chance wednesday afternoon into very early on thursday morning. Temperatures 20 to 25 degrees above averages. Mostly cloudy skies this evening. Clearing overnight. Particularly cold for this time of year, but were back in the upper 20s to lower 30s by day break tomorrow. Tomorrow groundhog day. Six more weeks of winter . We have Punxsutawney Phil in pennsylvania and miss g in massachusetts. We have to see what theyll say, but we havent had much winter, so we can take six more weeks of this winter. Gusty wind and rain on wednesday. The rest of the week looking dry and more seasonable toward the end of the week.

This will change direction, becoming more out of the northwest as we go through the day as the front starts to cross the area, but with that front, the moisture is very limited, so despite a cold front coming on through, i dont expect a whole lot of rain with it, just a couple sprinkles or light showers out there and the better chance of getting in some of these showers. Most of the moisture will be down close to the south coast of new england. So we have that front that will cross through later today. Cooler weather tomorrow, but not of year.

I wont say the core of the cold will set up over new england, looks more back to the midwest and into the northern plains, but well get back to seasonal levels by the time we end the week and get into next weekend. 54 to 60 this afternoon.

Sarah the races are neck and neck, and diane gouger joins us live from des moines with more on the big day there. Good morning. Diane good morning. You know, sarah, christa, it really is finally here. It seems like weve been talking about the Iowa Caucuses and the 2016 vote for years now. Things will get real tonight. I can tell you, on the republican side, donald trump and ted cruz, its really a different campaigns here. Donald trump in this Des Moines Register poll, hes pulled ahead by about five points, which has ted cruz sort of trying to get that lastminute momentum. Hes doing what hes calling the full grassley, a nod to iowa senator chuck grassley, hitting all the different counties. Hell have hit all 99 by this evening, that lastminute push. Donald trump on the other hand, hes pulling out his notsosecret weapon of sarah palin again and promising voters, hes relying on a lot of nontraditional voters who dont typically come out the caucus, telling them he might surprise them at certain caucuses this evening, sort of a similar situation to Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton, who are really in a statistical tie right now. A dead heat on the democratic side. Sanders hoping he can get those voters all of those giant crowds hes had out there. Many of them College Students trying to convince them to go home to caucus because it is all you need to win more than just the caucus near drake university. And so Hillary Clinton having a very large rally yesterday. Sort of a different term for her. Shes typically done these intimate events. So you can see them feeling the pressure and all of them paying close attention to the forecast here as we have a winter storm thats coming in. Those candidates crossing their fingers that it waits until after caucus time. Back to you. Sarah all right. Thanks, diane. After iowa the race for the white house heads to New Hampshire.

Then a clump of candidates Ohio Governor john kasich, former Florida Governor jeb bush get 9 each. Florida senator marco rubio gets 8 . The rest of the republican field, new jersey governor chris christie, 7 , dr. Ben carson and conducty senator rand paul 3 apiece, and Carly Fiorina 2 . One more key number only 8 are undecided. And heres how it looks as we begin our tracking. Trump well in front and then a pack of republicans chasing second and third place. Remember, whatever impact iowa will have on New Hampshire cant be measured yet. Like the republicans, the democrats also have a big frontrunner who looks unlikely to be caught. Than doubling Hillary Clintons 30 . Former Maryland Governor Martin Omalley barely registers with 1 and 8 are undecided.

Anything really could happen or do you really think some of these candidate are just insurmountable at this point . Andy i think we know who the winners are, but thats not what its always about. Its about expectations. For example, cruz is in second in iowa. If he doesnt hold that position, what happens to him here . Do we expect him to come in we have four candidates, rubio, kasich, bush and christie who are within two points. One of them is going to finish third. Thats going to be a big deal. So its not just the numbers, its the positions and the expectations. Christa all right. Thanks, andy. We appreciate it. Sarah and watch for andys love reports all this week.
