of the busiest travel days and you have a lot of trouble with the holiday weekend. we want to get right to our meteorologist barry burbank to talk about how long the rain is adding to the traffic situation. >> it isn't going to last that much longer. we've got showers all over the place, so it is a fluid situation that pours and stops and rains again and starts and stops. we have heavier rain around boston and points to the south. out to the west, i want to show you what's going on here. this is monson right here. in monson, they had trees down in one street in monson due to what apparently was stronger winds being brought down by the heavy rainfall. some of the heavier rain areas move on through. some of the stronger winds we brought down. so we're heading to worcester and hopkinton. heavier rain moving eastward. we're on the back edge of this now as you can see.

so another couple of hours of perhaps heavy duty downpours in places will all come to an end. don't worry about the weekend. it's going to be great. 60 tomorrow and cool and crisp. sunshiny, a few clouds. partly sunny and 68. i'll be back with the weekend forecast. see you in a few minutes. paula? >> thank you. remember you can keep track of storms any time anywhere with the cbs boston weather app. it's free. just search cbs boston. new video of a beacon hill bank robbery. the robbers hit the hingham savings bank and took off. they didn't get far. police caught up with them in charlestown. the robbers apparently changed clothes and julyped into a cab to get away. also tonight, a murder for hire case. an everett man hiring himself out as a hitman. little did he know he was speaking to an undercover fbi agent.

a closer look at a serious driving dilemma. a series of serious accidents involving elderly drivers auction. tonight, we are asking the age old question again, how old is too old to drive? >> jon keller has a look at the extent of the issue and why nothing seems to get done about it. >> reporter: today's horror show is an all too familiar site. this driver ran florida a busy real estate office this summer caused no injuries. two people were hurt in maine when a 93-year-old driver lost control outside a braintree supermarket. >> it was a lot of carnage. it's probably the worst i've seen in a while in a parking lot. >> reporter: this has been going on for years all over the country. federal statistics show drivers over age 65 account for close

the numbers have been rising as the baby bombers age. it's expected men and women will outlive their driving skills by six to ten years. massachusetts is one of the most lenient states when it comes to regulating senior driver safety, requiring only that they take an eye test when they renew their license. the closest we've come to a crackdown was six years ago when the death of a 4-year-old crossing a stoughton street sparked outrage. >> let's take action now. >> reporter: but no action was taken. why not? at this driver's ed class for seniors we attended a while back a common complaint about tighter elder driving restrictions was heard. with powerful senior advocacy groups putting pressure on to back off, you can count on seeing scenes like this again and again.

true enough, but beacon hill has enacted a number of restrictions on young drivers in recent years to dell with that while the laws regarding senior drivers remains untouched. this friday evening, we continue to keep a close eye on the traffic situation. take a look at all of those red lights. that's westbound. as david said, it's a little down with the rain complicating things. >> you know it's all of the peepers coming to town for the weekend. this is the big weekend for foliage, but it's not all that great right now. >> we've heard a lot of yellow and dull colors this year. >> yeah. i've been disappointed the last few days, paula. when i drove in to work, i saw tremendous color in spots. so it's all about locations. someplaces it's becoming more vibrant. a lot of places it's on the mulletted side. these are the high temperature days.

how about that for october 9? about 8 degrees for the average. we've got rain in boston that's been falling with showers passing by. look at the dew point. it's 62 and feels muggy out there right now. not truly tropical, but it's all going to change this evening as a cold front goes by. watch boston as it starts cooling off. it clears out once the showers pass by here. so currently it's 65 to 68 in southern new england. and it's much cooler and drier off to the west with the dew point and air temperatures in the upper 40s and 50s. here's where it's humid here. during the 40s and 30s back here, we get right back to the nice, dry air tomorrow as the cold front comes through tonight with the showers and storms. let's look at the rain that's been falling with heavy duty showers in spots. marshfield and down to plymouth with heavy duty downpours. a couple of clashes of lightning and claps of thunder

let's look at the west- northwest. this is nasty here. it's coming down in sheets east. the stronger winds aloft may cause scattered wind damage. the cooler, drier air will cool off nicely. watch the time stamp. lows tonight upper 40s to 50 degrees with the air much, much drier late this evening and overnight. highs flirting with 60. so it should be a nice, crisp fall day, and just a few scattered clouds may go by here and there. this weekend will be on the sunny side with a bank of clouds early on sunday morning. most of those will disappear. most of sunday should be nice as well. so again, going up to the lakes and mountains for this weekend should be in the low to middle 50s tomorrow. mid to upper 50s on sunday and

middle to upper 60s on columbus day. so i think we'll have a great weekend to look at the fall foliage. we'll have temperatures, which ill with be comfortable. 76 on monday, how about that, and still warm on tuesday with a couple of showers. cooler the second half of next week and next weekend will be snow showers in the northern mountains. enjoy the holiday weekend. paula, david? >> thank you so much. even though it is a beautiful weekend, a reminder the weekend is coming. michael sent us this picture of snow blowers lined up outside of a lowe's. in case you are wondering, 73 days away from the official start of winter. >> that might make some appeal think, ooh, i can't get one last year, i may go do that this weekend. >> the hardware store near my house already has a sold sign. two days before football. >> you guys should be ashamed of yourself showing snow right now. what's going on with you two? what is that about? okay, okay. the calendar flipped and this will be a long stretch for the patriots. the bye week is over and sunday
