anchor: until he does, the patriots will do what they have always done. keep finding ways to win. it's just unfortunate to lose such a critical player but you just have to try to figure out different

gorgeous. now we're cooling off and also cooling off tomorrow and wednesday. colder days are ahead. rain by thursday afternoon, this is not a huge storm, not a coastal storm or anything like that it's a front moving in with just a line of showers and then we're milder behind it. our temperatures now in the middle 50's and low 50's up through melrose. luck at this in boxford already 50 degrees. hudson, new hampshire too. 47 sterling, 46 fitchburg. aha, so cooler air is here. it did come in with a northwest wind which will turn northeast tomorrow. 46 west chatham and 51 in bourne bourne. cooler air comes in via maine and new hampshire so it's like a back door front. there is a jab of it and a high pressure system to focus it across the northeast. lots of axles where in the country, we've heard about the cold in the west, all right, so let's get some snow going in denver and albuquerque right now snowing too. that far south, that far south and that's where the cold is locked for now. more cold will pour in to the mountain west and for us, well, we'll get brief cool downs but that's it. it seems to be overwhelmingly mild, i mean, when you look at the 7 to ten day period have you more wild days than you do have cool days. there is a couple of cool days but it's not like we're going to go back into the 60's and stay there every time we warm up. our warmups will be just a few degrees above normal which will bring us into the mid and upper 50's of the coer tomorrow, that's not a warm day. high pressure will drift away eventually on wednesday but i still think there is a little bit of cold air left over to make it seasonable around 50 degrees. clouds will start to approach. there is your weather system for thursday as it creeps in slowly. 47 in boston tomorrow, billerica about 47, 48 hingham. sorry, in framingham and also hingham too. 47 in duxbury and 46 in marblehead. close to 47 down through bourne cape will be chilly. you will be warm every from providence if you can call it that. clear and cold tonight, 24 to 35 a hard freeze, boston may just skip out on that. 46 to 50 with bright sunshine tomorrow but i think tomorrow night is even colder. wednesday morning when we wake up to a lot of 20's in boston should have the hard freeze again. thursday late showers, friday it's out of here and our temperature close to 60. but the weekend will see a cool down by sunday. see the cool days? they are not that many of them. a little bit closer to normal though. at least tomorrow and wednesday. see you at 5:30. >> anchor: still ahead on 7, keep it
