Lets begin with republicans. Donald trump the big winner this morning claiming victories in seven states including massachusetts. Texas senator ted cruz winning alaska overnight to go along with his home state and oklahoma. And marco rubio finishing first, picking up his first state, minnesota. As for the democrats, Hillary Clinton matches Donald Trumps haul of seven states won. Securing victories in four states including his home state nearby in vermont. So a very tight race for the democrats here in massachusetts. In fact, the winner was declared hours after the polls closed. So heres a breakdown of the numbers with a few precincts left to report, clinton has 50 , sanders 49 in massachusetts. Just 20,000 votes separating these two candidates. Lets go to 7s Byron Barnett who is covering the democrats this morning. Byron, it sounds like theyre both looking ahead now. They certainly are. Hillary clinton was the big winner oon the democratic side, winning the lions share, but Bernie Sanders is putting out his message that his Campaign Lives to fight another day. What a super tuesday. Byron after a big super tuesday win, Hillary Clinton celebrated with supporters in one of the next battleground states, florida. And while not mentioning him by name, she clearly set her sights on donald trump. We have to make america whole. Byron clinton won seven of 11 states, including massachusetts and Southern States, many with large minority populations such as arkansas, where she was once first lady. She talked about her strategy going forward. Instead of building walls, were going to break down barriers. The stakes in this election have never been higher. And the rhetoric were hearing on the other side has never been lower. Byron vermont senator Bernie Sanders thanked his home super tuesday. It is great to be home. Byron sanders also won oklahoma, colorado and minnesota. At the end of tonight, 15 states will have voted. 35 states remain. And let me assure you that we are going to take our fight to every one of those states. Squarely on the future and how his vision differs from the g. O. P. Frontrunner. Do not allow the Donald Trumps of the world to divide us up. Byron but while sanders celebrates his super tuesday win, clinton increased her alreadybig lead in the delegate count. Including superdelegates, clinton now has 1,000 compared to sanders, who has less than 400. Live in the newsroom, im Byron Barnett, 7news today in new england. Christa thanks, byron. Here in massachusetts former president bill clinton visiting polls in west roxbury and new bedford on tuesday. In fact, youre looking at the scene in west roxbury. We received dozens of emails from voters who were concerned about the former president being too close to polling stations, even really making it difficult to vote in new bedford. So we reached out to the secretary of state, and his office is telling us the problem in new bedford was parking. No one actually had trouble voting. And he added that no election laws had been broken there. Sarah now to the republican race. Precincts reporting this morning, frontrunner donald trump comes in with 49 of the vote. John kasich and marco rubio trail with about 18 followed by ted cruz and ben carson. So trump is now threatening to break away from his g. O. P. Rivals in the delegate chase. 7s nancy chen is in the control room now with more for thus morning. Nancy sarah, good morning to you. Donald trump had a big side on the g. O. P. Side, winning a majority of states on tuesday, but ted cruz and marco rubio also saw some success. They hope they can keep the momentum going as four more states get ready to vote on saturday. Thank you very much, everybody. Thank you. Nancy tuesday proved to be another big day for donald trump. The g. O. P. Frontrunner won seven contests on super tuesday. In his victory speech, trump focused his attention on a potential november showdown with Hillary Clinton. Once we get all this finished, im going to go after the assumption shes allowed to run, which is a big assumption. I dont know that shes going to be allowed to run. And i think thats frankly going to be an easy race. Nancy senator ted cruz earned three victories tuesday, including a win inis home state of texas. He says candidates who havent yet won contests should consider dropping out. As long as the field remains divided, Donald Trumps path to the nomination remains more likely. And that would be a disaster for republicans. [audience booing] for conservatives and for the nation. Nancy late tuesday night, marco rubio learned he won his first state as he finished first in minnesotas caucus. Before learning about the results in minnesota, rubio spoke to supporters and continued looking forward. When i am president of the united states, we will not just say save the american dream, we will expand it to reach more people than ever.

Christa warm and wet. Lets get a check of the forecast now with rob eicher. Rob its only going to be hours sadly. As we head into the afternoon hours, things start the clear tumble. All day long gusty winds will be a threat, especially as we head into the afternoon hours. Some of that cooler weather gets here. Combine the breezy weather with cooler temperatures, and it will really feel chilly tomorrow morning. Then were talking about our next system, possibility of snow as we head into friday. Look at the numbers, 52 in boston. 40 at midnight. So while you were sleeping, temperatures have been warming that means were tracking rain. Other than the highest elevations of Green Mountains and the White Mountains of vermont and New Hampshire, not expecting anything icy this morning. Winds currently sustained on the order of 10, 15, 20, close to 30 sustained in nantucket. Were expecting frequent gusts on the order of 40plus miles per hour, especially for the coastline as we head throughout the day today. So Strong Enough that you need to be concerned about the possibility of maybe some branches coming down as we head through this afternoon and into the evening hours. Right now leading edge of light rain just making it to billerica. We have slightly heavier stuff behind that, and sudbury getting rain. These things, as you can probably tell, are zipping 60plus miles per hour. These showers will come up on you very quickly. A case where its all quiet and you get a batch of heavy rain. Thats whats happening in manchester in the last couple minutes. Really heavy rain moving in there. Zoom on out so you get the bigger picture. Pressure and a cold front. As this sweeps through, much cooler weather will start to move in here as you head into the afternoon hours. Only expecting rain for the morning. By the time we get the lunchtime. Rain is out of the picture. Skies are clearing. The winds will be picking up and ushering in very chilly air. Thursday morning, were talking windchills down in the Single Digits likely. Then lets walk through our next system here. This one will be a coastal storm thats going to kind of come up from the south. But the question is does it hug the coast, or does it go more out into the ocean . Right now looks like its going to be a glancing blow with snow beginning in some areas friday morning and lasting off and on mainly for the south shore, the cape and the islands through the day on friday. So how much are we talking about snowwise . Maybe one to three inches for the cape and the islands. Maybe a coating of snow for parts of norfolk and Plymouth County. Today 55 degrees in the morning hours. Falling to the 30s as we head into the evening hours. Tomorrow wake up, actual temperature will be in the teen, but it will feel more like Single Digits when you factor in that wind. High temperatures barely getting to the freezing mark thursday anthony again friday, a little bit of light snow, mainly for the cape and the islands. One to three inches not out of the question there. Flurries for boston, flurries possibly in newton, as well. But that would be about it. Then look at that. 64 degrees on tuesday. Guys, something to look forward to. Christa okay. We like that. Live and hope, right . New this morning were hearing from the wife of the driver of that runaway red line train. You remember that story back in december. Mbta Officials Say that he did, in fact, violate safety procedures causing that train to take off without a driver. And they say these photos that youre looking at show the cause. A microphone cord wrapped around a control dial. This investigation shows the driver also tampered with the dead man feature of the controls and did not secure a hand brake. His wife says what happened, though, is not entirely his fault. Hes a good man. Hes a great husband. Train. You know, the supervisors told him to get off. How many people tell people to get off of a running train when theres nobody else to back them up . Christa so the train, as you know by now, took off there from the braintree t station with passengers on board but no driver. Luckily none of the passengers were hurt. The train was eventually stopped. The report says to improve safety the t should install cameras inside the cab and change the design of the cars.

Were dry on thursday, but here comes our next storm system. It will zip over to the North Carolina coastline and gain a lot of strength. The question is, does it hug the coastline or head more out into the ocean. Right now looks like its going to be a glancing blow with snow beginning in some areas friday morning and continuing for parts of the south shore, the south on and off for most of friday. And add it all up, could get one to three inches for the cape and the islands. Maybe a coating for parts of Plymouth County and Norfolk County as you head through the day on friday.
