Now your storm team 5 forecast with meteorologist danielle vollmar. Sera its amazing, danielle. Last week we were really in the thick of it. So cold. Today its so different. Danielle it is such a different world. Last sunday below zero readings the entire day. This sunday, were talking temperatures in the 50s. Yesterday we were in the 60s in boston. Doug flip flops. Danielle i did see a couple of those out there. Boston all bets are off as to what you will see on the streets. 60 degrees is the High Temperature in boston. Last sunday nine below zero. Last sunday in worcester 16 below zero. 55 was the High Temperature yesterday. And the temperature trend continues at least for today. Well be in the 50s. However, tomorrow, we drop back into the upper 30s. By tuesday the mid 30s. So that sets us up for a cooler pattern out ahead of our approaching system. The big one that is many coulding wednesday now into thursday looks like it will start off as some snow but turns over to rain pretty quickly. Talking more about that in just a second. First we have another rain chance coming tonight from this area of low pressure you see. And its going to time out with west. In. I do think that rain may flip over to a mix or even some snow for a period tomorrow Early Morning for southeastern mass, but at most a dusting. Not looking for much at all. And most of us not even affected. So far this morning though, skies and mild conditions. 49 degrees in boston right now. 45 in plymouth. It is 42 degrees in worcester. So were talking about temperatures well above where they should be this time of year to start out the day. One of the reasons why. We have pretty strong wind gusts , up to now 28 miles an hour in worcester, 25mileperhour winds gusting in boston. So theyre out of the west but thats a warming wind for us at this time of year so well take that. Through the day were going to keep that westerly wind. Notice well see some sunshine, i think, through the Morning Hours but more clouds increase out ahead of our next system coming in later on this evening. Low 50s boston. Mid 50s in taunton as well as marshfield. Mid 40s in worcester and toward the merrimack valley. Again sunshine to start. Clouds through the afternoon. Tonigh we drop back into the 20s and 30s. Were borderline by the cape. Thats why i say were going to start off with some rain but may turn over for a period of some light snow. Here is is the timing offering. Across the area. A chance for rain really along the south coast, the cape and the islands. I think it could creep up as far as probably plymouth but that may be the extent of it. Southeastern mass really is the only one affected by this. Notice by about 5 30, 6 00 here we go of seeing that turnover for a brief period of time and then its quickly out of here. And monday it is dry, sunny and turning colder. In fact, tomorrow your High Temperatures upper 0s and low 40s across the area. So were dry on tuesday and most of our monday. Our next system starting as some snow on wednesday but quickly turning over to rain and the heaviest rain really coming in it looks like thursday morning into thursday afternoon. Let me show you how all this plays out. The first area of low pressure comes in wednesday afternoon and because were on the colder side, it may start off as some snow turning over to some mix and then some rain but its very quick. Not expecting much in the way of accumulation but by thursday morning, here comes the heaviest stuff. Were on the warmer side of that. That means it will be rain. We are watching for some potential coastal concerns there too. We are talking about periods of heavy rain from this especially thursday morning into the afternoon. How much rain . Anywhere from an inch to an inchandahalf to maybe two inches. This is a pretty strong model. I dont know if well get that much rain, but we are talking about some substantial rain. We could use it. Behind it though were going to turn much colder and feel more like winter by next weekend. Doug and sera. Sera thanks, danielle. Other big stories were following right now.

Doug tables specially designed not to vibrate made in mass. It may look like an ordinary factory, but whats being made roslindale is anything but ordinary. Alan gertel so what we do is we create these tables that float so the air table actually floats. Doug alan gertel offering up the simple description gertel see, the table is floating. Doug to whats actually the solution to a very complex problem creating platforms that can eliminate the tiniest of vibrations. Were talking movements so small it could be caused by electrical currents. Gertel as we add load to the table, the table will go down and then it will call for more air. The legs will fill up and become soft again and then float. Doug who would want such a table . At Northeastern University researchers are using kinetic tables so they can examine proteins through a powerful microscope. When trying to look at something magnified at a molecular level, even the Slightest Movement would make it almost impossible. Gertel you put your equipment on top of it, and it rests on this cushion. You can look through the plain as day, clear and nice. Doug top hospitals throughout boston and the world have also called upon this local company to produce their socalled air tables which, in turn, has helped doctors essentially save lives.

Doug almost every aspect of these tables, down to the smallest detail, is made at this family business. And with each shift gertel it might be for an olympus microscope going into canada. Doug a little bit of new england ingenuity and engineering goes along with it. Gertel we are very proud of the fact that we make a product in massachusetts that is used by many people all over the world. Doug kinetic systems first started solving vibration isolation problems back in 1968. And since then they have pioneered many stateoftheart doug it really is.
