? ? ? the best way to get together, is with the treat you make together. ? ? ? . well here at wbz we try to get closer to the stories making news around boston. well, yesterday we did just that. meteorologist danielle niles took a wild ride while covering red bull flew tag competition.

make it very far off the platform. but it looked good doing it. take a look at danielle's point of view. she wore a camera on her helmet. you can see the moment she went off the desk and into the drink. if you would like to see more spectacular crashes like this one, the event is today. i love that. knowing her, too, that makes me laugh even harder. >> like one of those dunkingta the best part. >> she was a little nervous. >> was she? >> she didn't know what to expect. >> it went so smoothly. then i'm sure she was fine with it. >> it was fun after a while. but she did that scream which is for effect. i think it was real. >> i think so too. i think it was very real. so what are we looking at for the weekend. >> pretty good weather. i think sunshine and clouds. we will have maybe a couple of scattered showers, is we're

we've been saying that all summer long because of the drought situation. it's gotten even worse as the drought monitor shows. the officials now have us in extreme drought here, here in eastern massachusetts, in the boston area and points to the north. so it's bad, it's bad crops are in bad shape in many locations. but we're able to still get some produce in the local areas for getting some of that corn. but -- in some places it's bad because it's not enough water this year. everything is drying out. the lawn are dried. i haven't mode my lawn in -- mowed my lawn in eight weeks. total rain so far in august is only .80 offen inch. of course the other months were way dry as well. so let's look at the numbers this morning. and quite pleasant this morning. it's not all that humid and it's actually cool in some spots.

outlying areas out in western massachusetts, and in vermont and west new hampshire, pretty cool this morning. we have a few spots which are near 60 degrees. we're starting off on the nice side this morning. some places it's clear. there's a few places where there's lots of clouds. eventually there's going to be some clouds taking over. the dew points, it's in the low to middle 60s. so we have moderate humidity here. we have low humidity in western new england. it looks like there's an axis wooster and into eastern connecticut. and looks like this is going to be the area where some scattered showers could form by late this morning or this afternoon. and that will be the similar area for scattered showers tomorrow. here are the dew points down here. so it is going to definitely turn muggier even though it's relatively not that humid this morning. high temperatures ranging from the mid-80s in metro west to near or just under 80 along the

we're starting out with quite a bit of sunshine but end up with quite a bit of clouds. perhaps right along the coast, although it may get cloudy for a while, it may clear out an these clouds may push inland. so it's right in here in wooster county down into connecticut where some scattered showers could form this afternoon. nothing heavy, no big thunderstorms or anything like that. and that likely will be repeated during tomorrow. so here's my seven day forecast. about 86 for some inland spots, both today and again there's a chance of a scattered shower or two while inland today and tomorrow. then everybody gets some rain tomorrow night. i think there's a pretty good shot that many areas will get a half inch or more during the night tomorrow, maybe some thunder. it ends by daybreak on monday. air really dries out after a very muggy day tomorrow. it dries out with a gusty wind on monday. it's going to almost feel like fall here by tuesday morning in

very nice vacation weather. >> really? all right. thank you. jamaica's usain bolt has secured his triple triple with last night's win. the 100 meter, 200 meter, and the relay in three straight olympics. the team took home gold last night in the relay. bolt has already said this was his lasso limb pick race, and fans all over jamaica crowded into restaurants and public squares. look at that crowd, to watch the win the u.s. men's team hasn't medaled in this event since 2004. they finished third but were later disqualified for a bad baton hand off. but a much better ending for the women. they won last night, four by 100 in just over 41 seconds. that is the fifth gold medal for team member allison felix. u.s. women were also golden in

italy last time. that extends the team's win streak to 22 games. the american women have also outcored -- outscored opponents. the u.s. now has 105 total medal, 38 gold, 35 silver, and 32 bronze, which puts us even closer to our own record of 110 set during the 2008 pim in beijing. so overall eye in a is in second place -- china is in second place. great britain a close third. well you've heard of closing the barn core after -- barn door after the horse has gotten off. why this open door on red line

we're at scour right now. let's go to cambridge, closer to boston. charter school 69 and town in canton at the kennedy school 66 degrees. so it's interesting as we look at the map here, we have temperatures in the 60s. now right in here there is like a little bit of a trough developing here where it's cooler and drier there. as moist coming out from the south here. so therefore, it looks like that's going to be favoring the axis of where w have some showers developing. there have been a few little showers down here already. it looks like that moisture feed is going to come right up in here. so even though it's nothing there right now, the clouds are going to come up. in fact, there's a lot of low clouds in there right now. this is the area right here which will give us a spell of somewhat heavier rain tomorrow night. but until then, today and tomorrow, mid-80s, away from the ocean. near just under 80 at the coast.

xarelto? is selective targeting one critical factor of your body's natural clotting function. for people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. like all blood thinners, don't stop taking xarelto without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. while taking you may bruise more easily, and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. y for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto tell your doctor about any conditions, such as kidney, liver or bleeding problems. to help protect yourself from a stroke, ask your doctor about xarelto.

an inside the park walk off home run. the jay's had a lead going into the ninth. of the bullpen gave it away. a day off for the patriots today so it will be at least tomorrow, maybe monday before we have a chance to see tom brady in person and maybe find out just what happens to knocked him out of friday's game with the bears. the coach said all three quarterbacks would play but brady was never seen on the field even for warm-up. reports surfaced during the game that he had cut his thumb while working on his cleats. it was decision not to play brady but the agent told us, quote, an accident had occurred and tom will be okay in time. the patriots play their first road game of the preseason next friday when they take on panthers. patriots game day is the 7th. kick off 7:30. fifth quarter right after the game. all right here only on wbz.

the rangers announced the decision via twitter friday evening. the native and harvard product was originally drafted by nashville but never signed. his rights were traded to buffalo but he opted to become a free agent and was recruited by a handful of teams. that was a tough one to swallow. that's the very latest in sports. >> all right. thank you so much. and bury has rolled into the house, literally. >> i was moving pretty fast there. i thought was chair w >> i thought you were going to sit in my lap. take it easy over there. >> they can see behind the scenes. >> i know. it will be a lot of trouble going on there. >> so what are we looking at? so a decent weekend. nice week ahead. >> yeah. week coming up is going to be really excellent for vacationers. if you're on vacation this coming week, the weather is going to be really, really good. but take a look at our 90 degree chart.

>> yes. >> right? >> finally. >> i never had air conditioning except a few window units. well i got some of those ductless units. it's so cool. no pun intended. but anyway, because i knew this summer was going to be one hot summer, based upon global factors. and last winter we were forecasting -- i was thinking we would get around 20 to 25 days over 90 and then sort of decided early summer, we would get about 22. well we've got 18 not yesterday but the day before yesterday. boston got its 18th day. there have been some places northwest of boston that have had more than that. massachusetts had its 31st day over 90 degrees yesterday. there's that hot zone over northwest of boston extending near the border into nashua. well, here we are at 18. we had 18 back in 2013.

the average number in boston each year of 90 degree days is 13. there was a big one back in 2010. so the month so far is a mean temperature of 4.5 trees above average. look at all the red squares. we have not had a below average day in terms of temperature since august 3rd. we keep rolling right along here. we have some warm weather coming up later this week when you'll see we may add a day or two more of 90 degrees in boston. right now we'ren 60s. and there is a little bit of moist air right in here moving right up into the connecticut river here, at river valley. look at the dew points here. 71 at will mant. 71 in gratin. so we have some higher dew points right in there. asking is going to pool up in that area to make a boundary where some showers may form later today. and we have a lot of higher humidity to our south so we're going to -- that higher humidity is going to spread out across

around 86 in mainly inland spots, closer to 80 at the coast like it was yesterday with a bit of a sea breeze. we're looking at winds out of the east-southeast 10 to 15 miles per hour. and we've got a high tide which will be occurring at 1:25 this afternoon. and low at 7:33 this evening. so we're going to have -- i think a lot of clouds forming as the day goes along. watch this afternoon for a few scattered showers in wooster county. no big thunderstorms. no gully washer rains, anything like that. bu form in there. that may be repeated again tomorrow afternoon also a few scattered showers may form tomorrow. so it lacks like -- it looks like we have this little trough right here in eastern new england. we've got this front which is going to give us the heavier rain coming up for tomorrow night. here's my accuweather forecast for the next seven days. mid-80s for the most part. that will be in a location and lower 80s to upper 70s at the coast. this weekend.

with time. those scattered showers can't be ruled out. we have a spell of heavy rain for everybody tomorrow night. it's done by first thing monday morn. by daybreak it's gone moving on out maybe except the outer cape. going to clear out rapidly. it's going to dry out rapidly with a gusty wind at 30 miles an hour. around 81. refreshing air. beautiful low humidity on tuesday. near or just under 80 degrees. then it starts to warm up. 88 on wednesday, maybe near 90 on thursday coastal spots, especially south bay. let's go to the trivia for this hour. the last land-falling hurricane in new england was what? was it andrew? was it named bob? was it named gloria? or was it named irene? >> well, mike our audio guy just said one word, bob. like that. so i guess he's trying to tell me go with bob. >> he said that, huh? give you a little tip.

nice job. >> it is bob. andrew never came up here. gloria was back in the '80s. so bob was 25 years ago yesterday that it hit. made landfall at rode i gland irene? was that. >> it was not a hurricane. >> okay. >> but it did quite a lot of damage in the northeast. quite a lot of flooding. >> thank you. well, before you know, the kids will be back in school. coming up, a -- a few things you should be doing now to summer to be over. four hundred million dollars. that's how much charter schools will drain from massachusetts public schools this year. four hundred million siphoned from local districts that desperately need it. four hundred million that won't
