we're talking about here. but you gotta go to the high elevations to find that. the rest of us will be cold enough still. first thing's first, to get the cold air, kind of lead it with a cold front and that's coming right now. we're clear over southern new england, some clouds will spill into northern new england and here comes clouds and showers back here. this front really got active on the

drive, the 9:00 hours of boston and south boston at the 10:00 hour. remember i said the southern look at this, bright colors showing up on our high resolution model, showing us the possibility of heavy downpours, especially south coast, cape cod and the islands during the morning hours, during the 10:00 hour in particular. the front makes its way off shore. whether it could still be a couple of showers around, things improve from there, at least as far as rainfall. so temperatures staying fairly steady. clouds about 45 for a low. showers around in the morning around 8:00 out in worcester county like we just showed you. middlesex county, the clouds will roll in, 46. 56 by 10:00 when the threat of showers will be over middlesex county and then southward, martha's vineyard, clear skies for much of the night and then the clouds start to come in into about 60. so overall tomorrow high good. about average or above for this time of year. the northshore 64. ipswich 63. haverhill, 62 at nashua, new hampshire tomorrow. to the west of boston, the metro west area, 64 degrees in brookline. 64 in newton and watertown, as well. to the southshore, a little cooler near the water, but not too much. 65 in scituate and in plymouth. generally at or above average for this time of year. because a front hasn't come on through yet and the cool air hasn't spilled on in. notice a couple of random showers around but the heavy stuff has pushed offshore so we could still have some clouds and farther north and west you go better chance for a shower, but the clouds will dissipate as the sun goes down and we clear it out. notice there's still some showers back here. a little piece of energy in the atmosphere still to swing on through saturday. it will produce rainshowers in places, spotty, however, some of this is snowflakes being denoted by futurecast. these are the high elevations in southern vermont that bleed into the berkshires of massachusetts and points north to the whites and greens, as well. so be aware there can be some snow this weekend in new england. it's going to be spotty, not a lot, a dusting to a half inch for some of the northern mountains. it would not be southern new hampshire for the most part out into cape cod and the eyed. this is what i was talking about, to the north, just for instance, going into places like northeast vermont, northern new hampshire, up sunday river, and we just talked about them, expect nearly a half inch of snow on top the highest peaks there. seven-day forecast shows just how cold it is going to get. windy and cool on saturday. it'll feel colder than that. sunday, only in the 40s for highs. look at these low temperatures. 31 and 26 degrees sunday and monday. that means you can expect frost and a freeze to end

we're talking about here. but you gotta go to the high elevations to find that. the rest of us will be cold enough still. first thing's first, to get the cold air, kind of lead it with a cold front and that's coming right now. we're clear over southern new england, some clouds will spill into northern new england and here comes clouds and showers back here. this front really got active on the southern fringes during the evening hours. it wasn't so much earlier today, it looked like it was kind of weak on the southern part but progress eastward toward us. here's a futurecast timeline. the clouds and showers start to move on in right there into southern vermont and western tonight. out ahead of the main batch but the front coming through 645, headed into worcester during the morning drive, the 9:00 hours of boston and south boston at the 10:00 hour. remember i said the southern look at this, bright colors showing up on our high resolution model, showing us the possibility of heavy downpours, especially south coast, cape cod and the islands during the morning hours, during the 10:00 hour in particular. the front makes its way off shore. whether it could still be a couple of showers around, things improve from there, at least as far as rainfall. so temperatures staying fairly steady. clouds about 45 for a low. showers around in the morning around 8:00 out in worcester county like we just showed you. middlesex county, the clouds will roll in, 46. 56 by 10:00 when the threat of showers will be over middlesex county and then southward, martha's vineyard, clear skies for much of the night and then the clouds start to come in into about 60. so overall tomorrow high good. about average or above for this time of year. the northshore 64. ipswich 63. haverhill, 62 at nashua, new hampshire tomorrow. to the west of boston, the metro west area, 64 degrees in brookline. 64 in newton and watertown, as well. to the southshore, a little cooler near the water, but not too much. 65 in scituate and in plymouth. generally at or above average for this time of year. because a front hasn't come on through yet and the cool air hasn't spilled on in. notice a couple of random showers around but the heavy stuff has pushed offshore so we could still have some clouds and farther north and west you go better chance for a shower, but the clouds will dissipate as the sun goes down and we clear it out. notice there's still some showers back here. a little piece of energy in the atmosphere still to swing on through saturday. it will produce rainshowers in places, spotty, however, some of this is snowflakes being denoted by futurecast. these are the high elevations in southern vermont that bleed into the berkshires of massachusetts and points north to the whites and greens, as well. so be aware there can be some snow this weekend in new england. it's going to be spotty, not a lot, a dusting to a half inch for some of the northern mountains. it would not be southern new hampshire for the most part out into cape cod and the eyed. this is what i was talking about, to the north, just for instance, going into places like northeast vermont, northern new hampshire, up sunday river, and we just talked about them, expect nearly a half inch of snow on top the highest peaks there. seven-day forecast shows just how cold it is going to get. windy and cool on saturday. it'll feel colder than that. sunday, only in the 40s for highs. look at these low temperatures. 31 and 26 degrees sunday and monday. that means you can expect frost and a freeze to end the weekend. the afternoons are cooling off, but the mornings will be bitter cold. millions of dollars spent every year on patching and pairing hose inside big tunnels. and today the state confirms

guidelines. >> reporter: governor baker says he'd like to get to the point where the state is not just within federal guidelines and isn't spending money to just patch holes. it questions whether or not the state will stick to its expected cost for maintenance and repairs of $12.5 million by march 2017. >> when you're talking about tunnels, they either run along the bottom of a body of water or under dismeet in our case, we've got a little bit of both here. it's not that unusual to have leaks. >> i did ask the mass department of transportation if they think these tunnels are safe and they said yes and went through a regular list of inspections that they perform. sharman sacchetti, fox 25 news. of people who have died from opiate overdoses in the last four years has tripled and there's
