morning, starting to pick up. the idea is throughout the day, we'll consistently be gusting to 30 miles per hour. the strongest gusts in the evening across the cape and islands could cause a couple of scattered outages. gusting here 40 to 50 miles per hour all the way into saturday morningp the same storm system will bring in drier air. david, la lisa, over to you. >> thank you so much, eric. to get the latest weather, download our app. a teenager has died of an overdose and her mother is facing charges. ken macleod is live in rochester tonight. ken, such a sad story. >> reporter: it's really tragic from every possible angle, lisa. it began with a 911 call

through this ramshackled motel here back on october 17th. today, as you mentioned, prosecutors filed charges again the teen victim's mother and that mother's poi friend. when the high school senior died last month, everything pointed to an overdose. today that was confirmed. >> the cause of death was due to acute fentanyl intoxication. >> investigators believe her death was accidental, but that didn't stop them from charging her mother jasmine with reckless conduct and endangering the welfare of a child in her own daughter's death. >> the fact that it is the mother of the victim makes it even more disturbing to me. >> reporter: police didn't stop there. they also charged mom's boyfriend with full phiing evidence in his effort to conceal that he provided the

life sentence. both mom and her boyfriend were at the motel when eve died. >> the focus has to do with the drug abuse and death. >> reporter: eve is rochester's eighth fatality this year. police are clearly taking aim on those they believe knowingly contributed to it. >> this epidemic really has no boundaries. >> reporter: late this afternoon, police charged a third person in eve's death, aim long time family friend. police say all three were present when eve died. arraignments for the trio, by the way, start tomorrow morning. rochester new hampshire, ken macleod. an investigation is under way right now after a body washed ashore on the beach. bill shields is live with the new information. bill? >> reporter: david, you know, a construction crew found this body. if you are a part of that crew, can you imagine building the

steam crew and you look out towards the water and see what appears to be a body. right now, police are still trying to identify that body. >> yeah, i mean, we were working over here and just when i went to get stones from the loader, i looked down the beach and i think the tide brought it in. >> reporter: a construction crew found the body roushed up it he very end of duxbury beach in an area. from what they could tell, the body had been in the water for some time. >> it was just something on the beach like a halloween decoration or something like that. it looked like a scare crow on the porch or something like that. it was bloated and looked fake. >> reporter: the workers called police who would only say that the death appeared suspicious. >> alongside of these rocks over here. >> reporter: the workers said from what they could tale the body was a male, but because it had been in the ocean for at least several weeks, they

>> i turned around and called 911 because it's definitely human. it was a male. he was fully dressed but just a setten, that's all. >> reporter: and unless police have found identification on the body, obviously it's going to take some time to identify it because of the length of the decomposition. bill shields, wbz news. back to you guys. >> thanks, bill. two men are on trial for the murder of an army veteran. he was killed while a friend was apparently making a drug deal. the suspects jesse williams and eugene tate were buying drugs and he was afraid of getting robbed. former new hampshire police officer is spending 21 days in jail nor assaulting a suspect on surveillance video. former seabrook officer mark richardson was sentenced this afternoon. last month, he pleaded guilty to slamming a drunk driving suspect into the wall of the seabrook police station.

the assault happened in 2009, but this video didn't surface until years later. we have a developing story in the battle between state standardized tests. the education commissioner has now made his pick. paula ebben is here with more on that. paula? >> reporter: david, mitchell chester says he supports the next generation version of the mcas, which adds elements of the park test and that it should be computer based. this has been dubbed mcas 2.0. supporters say it does a good job of measuring kids compared to their national counterparts, but in its current form, it's outdated. supporters have argued that the test does a better job measuring a student's critical thinking skills. a state commission says both tests are equal when it comes to predicting how well a student will do in college. so that is the commissioner's choice. the state board of education is set to vote on which tests they choose next tuesday. lisa some. >> all right, paula.

after that, we'll see a change. the clouds start to break up a little bit and the wind will pick up more out of the west. temperature-wise, we're still rising right now. the warm front is passing us by. turns to 50 in boston. actually, our temperatures won't drop at all tonight. we'll stay well up into the 40s. moving across again through midnight and as we head through the later stages of the evening, there will be breaks in the overcast as is the sunshine tomorrow morning. the clouds tend to fill back in during the day tomorrow. and through the afternoon and evening, a couple of pop-up showers mainly into worcester county and higher elevations as well as the berkshires and vermont. starting to transition over to snowflakes tomorrow afternoon and evening. especially in and around the national forest. more clearing takes place as we head in. tomorrow morning, partly sunny skies. sunrise is at 6:32. winds picking up out of the west-southwest.

wind is the main impact of the storm. building clouds by midday. we're in the 50s but winds out of the west at 15 to 30-plus miles per hour. as we head into the evening, a few showers popping up again. the higher terrain. temperatures mild for this time of year, but the winds won't make it feel too pleasant. worcester topping out at 52 degrees. all of the temps are 5 degrees above average. the main impact is the wind. we've seen gusts higher across the great lakes. as the system moves north and east, it's that tight pressure gradients that keeps the winds up for us. that's the case friday and into saturday. so if you want an excuse to not have to go outside and rake, the wind is your excuse. gusting well over 25 on saturday. the wind starts to come down a little on sunday. it will still be breezy. some of the gusts up to 20 on sunday afternoon. there is a wind advisory out on nantucket where it's late

tomorrow more thanking into saturday morning. peak gusts up to 50 miles per hour. good news for the weekend, the air is moving in. brighter skies on saturday and sunshine on sunday. the temps start to rebound a little bit. the wind is chilly and less wind and sun on sunday. we're in the low 50s that will feel good. here's the accuweather seven- day forecast looking peaceful monday, tuesday, and wednesday with warming temperatures and our next chance of showers that move back in until thursday. david, lisa, over to you. ahead, children's toenails and ponytails. no, it's not the children's songs we know. the last two things researchers are focused on. interesting and kind of gross. [ laughter ] >> reporter: all right, you just laid it out there. okay. we all have them. well, we don't all have ponytails but we have toenails. it's somewhat unsavory, but they may hold the keys to

today i got a look inside of the brigham and women's hospital and the bio repository had more than 3.5 million human specimens are stored. toenail clippings from nearly 100,000 people and ponytail ships from hundreds of ladies along with blood and urine samples. hair and toenails can store information about a patient for up to a year. one researcher is using them to measure stress hormones. >> we know that chronic stress may be an important factor in the development of many chronic diseases. so we're interested in measuring stress hormones that reflect long exposure to stress to better understand how stress affects development of disease such as cancer or heart disease. >> now, ponytail and toenail samples are still being collected as part of this long- term nurse's health study. you probably heard me talk many times about it.

samples. toenails. >> by the way, the directors purposely used shots where you don't see my ponytail. it's here. >> right. >> very good job. very subtle. you let it go when you are out of here. thank you, doctor. up next, closing time. >> could this be the last call for a bill to keep boston open later. >> and pulling the including on its powerful women rankings. >> coming you were new at 6:00, a dangerous encounter on an mbta bus. >> i entered the bus, and there's a gentleman sitting down with a hatchet to his neck saying i know how to do this. the five amazing words boston police officers said which diffused the situation.

air bnb is raising eyebrows in neighborhoods. we saw some neighborhoods overrun over the summer. as lauren leamanczyk tells us tonight, air bnb is now making changes. >> reporter: the deals can be enticing on air bnb. rooms in historic neighborhoods for a fraction of a hotel croft. >> reporter: they have seen communities like charlestown overwhelmed. >> it's been growing so much in downtown boston. the worst case scenario is a person rents it out and never stays there. goes to ikea, dresses up the apartment and rents it out on almost a daily basis. >> reporter: the i-team found that's what happened right here. 1618 battery street in the north end. one tenant took this one outside of the unit that even listed a checkout time. >> when you have an apartment

being used as a daily turnover, it affects the value. >> reporter: a bill sponsored would require homeowners to register the short-term ones. air bnb is tracking and publishing rental activity to help stem permanent rentals and negotiate tax rates with each city. representative micklowicz is encouraged air bnb is taking steps but he wants concrete action and has no plans to pull his bill at this time. forget just blocking internet trolls. >> one woman's way of turning something awful into something good. >> spending thousands and getting nothing in return. what she has to say when the i- team tracks her down. >> then, you clearly fly off
