the heaviest will be in southern new england. it's too early to be precise on the exact impact on new england at the present time. so we'll leave that for the next couple of days as we fine-tune this whole forecast. most of the rain today is going to be south of the mass pike. some of the heavier rain there is going to be clearing out off to the north and west. so this morning we have the rain and we've got it clearing out eventually so the showers south of boston, a warm 73 this morning. midday we'll be up around 76. scattered showers southeast. and then for this partial clearing off to the northwest, lower 80s. that's it. traffic and weather together. hi, brianna. >> checking the eastbound lanes from the pike from our cameras in brighton right in from western mass, looks great. to the south and northbound lanes on 24 and route three are both wide open. we are starting to see slowdowns though on 128 around the brain tree split around exit six. you can see the red arrows there. so it is slow and go from the split to exit nine. the t and commuter rail are

not immune and all countries have to work together. hawaii is hosting the world's largest conservation event, an environmental conference which begins today. and we're just over two months away from election day. and for many the decision on who to vote for has already been made. well, this morning our jon keller looks whether the candidates can do anything that would make us change our minds. >> reporter: good morning. today is september 1st, which means there are exactly 68 days to go until election day. will anything that happens over these final ten weeks really make a difference to you? for instance, in february of 2011, 22 months before the presidential election, is trial match-ups between president obama and mitt romney showed obama with a four-point lead. early september of 2012, the polls on average had obama with that same four point lead. on election day, obama beat

points. of course, there were fluctuations over time. the polling down the stretch suggests a dead heat race. but you could argue that almost two years before the election, enough voters had fundamentally decided they liked obama well enough to give him the second term. and that short of some cataclysmic event nothing was going to change that. this time around, there is no incumbent rinning, although hillary clinton has cast herself as an extensi era. and donald trump certainly represents a dramatic change from what romney saw. but even as we obsess over each day's news, is her ethical issues, his tight rope walk on immigration, what this poll or that poll means, is could it be that in the end, little to none of it will really matter? i would offer one caveat, a disastrous meltdown by either candidate in that first debate could be impactful, although

debate with romney without lasting damage. but short of that, voters already have ample information with which to make a decision. too bad we have to wait another 68 days to see what it is. attorney general will submit her recommendations today on the state's new transgender rights law. it aallows people to use the bathroom or locker room that corresponds with their identity. however anyone t improper claim to gain access to a bathroom could be arrested. healey wants to education businesses. the law takts effect on october 1st. starting today, somerville will be one more place your groceries wouldn't come in plastic bags. the city is phasing in its bag ban which means only the largest retailers will have to stop orring -- offering sing-use bags today. the other stores will have until december 1st. brookline and cambridge already
