new york. >> we will continue to conduct activity to ensure we completely understand his social network. >> investigators are not searching for other suspect at this time. >> you'll see officers in the subway. you'll see bags being checked, bomb sniffing dogs. that will continue throughout the week. >> you just heard the nypd is planning to up patrols and the mayor is telling new yorkto the fbi revealed that last night they detained a car of interest and interviewed some of the people in that car but ultimately let them go. wbz news. >> thank you. still a lot more to learn about the bomber and the motive behind the terror attacks. stay with wbz on the air and online for the latest on the investigation. a rainy start to the work week for just about everybody in our area. at times coming down very hard

let's check in with eric fisher. did it put much of a dent in the drought? >> depends where you live. certain towns, tremendous amounts of rainfall today. so the answer is yes there. others did not when the rainfall sweepstakes. we'll show you the breakdown in a moment. was there almost 2 inches of rainfall today. the most rain today since late february. it's been a long time since we got any significant rain event in the area. it fell into distinct bands. across western and northern massachusetts into southern new hampshire. this is where we saw one as much as 5 inches of rain today. i have a band from southern connecticut on the south coast and across cape cod and the islands. in between lower rain totals, it's a good thing but not as much as you'd like to see. one of the dryer spots was the wettest day in a month in the city of boston. when you look at rainfall

this is updated with today's rain. so we still have over seven- inch rainfall deficit this year alone in concord, nearly eight inches in worcester. who do a few showers moving through this evening. expect a few scattered showers as we had through the overnight. foggy, very humid, and tomorrow we bring in that drier air. we also bring in summer heat. talk about that in a bit. a possible lightning strike force the just -- the jetblue plane to make an emergency landing. flight 1731 on its way from new york to bermuda when the pilots reported the plane had been hit by lightning. no one was hurt. the plane to land safely at logan. the plane landed without incident at 9:45 this morning. also tonight, the driver in the deadly sweet tomatoes crash enters his plea of not guilty. >> both lawyers addressed his medical condition, which we now know is multiple sclerosis. with team coverage of the story tonight, including an itmack investigation. we begin with christina hager live in newton with more on what happened in court.

charges in court today, including motor vehicle homicide. attorneys did discuss his multiple sclerosis diagnosis but ultimately prosecutors said that was not to blame for the crash here, they said. they said speed was. prosecutors say was driving at full speed when he crashed into west sweet tomatoes restaurant. now half a year later >> not guilty. >> seven people were injured. relatives of the two people killed in the crash looked on. an office manager who volunteered at her church and young attorney. >> essentially, the defendant accelerated through the intersection at washington street, through a red light, clipped two vehicles, and drove straight into the sweet tomatoes restaurant.

sclerosis, but the prosecutor said investigators found the illness had nothing to do with the crash and prosecutors said despite the claim, the brake pedal was stuck. >> the judge allowed him to leave with no bail. his attorney offering a glimpse of what his defense might look like. >> i think i suffers from multiple sclerosis. he has for about 27 years. we all know the effects of multiple sclerosis. >> there were a lot of witnesses out here when this happened. prosecutors say none of them saw a break light on the vehicle, none heard a scratch, and one witness, even describe the feeling of a dust of wind when the vehicle blew through this intersection.

more on his medical condition. the defendants multiple sclerosis and any role it might have played in this deadly crash took center stage in the courtroom. whose job is it to decide whether someone with a medical condition is safe to drive? the itmack is here with a closer look. >> reporter: thousands of people surrender their licenses every year for medical reasons. here in massachusetts, doctors are legally required to report patients, so most of the responsibility falls on drivers to give up the keys. >> commonwealth recognizes that he has multiple sclerosis. >> after months of investigating, prosecutors concluded his disease was not a factor in the moments leading up to the deadly collision at sweet tomatoes restaurant. >> multiple sclerosis was not the cause of this crash. >> how difficult of a topic is this for doctors? >> i think it's one that can be really challenging. >> ms is tricky, because some patients are almost paralyzed by the disease while others can still drive safely.

it's not black-and-white at all. >> unlike other states, the itmack learned in massachusetts there is no legal requirement for doctors to report medical conditions that could affect driving abilities. >> should there be? >> i don't think so. patients may be less likely to seek care for those conditions and may not be as open andnk their doctor about the condition. >> instead doctors were police officers and concerned family members can voluntarily submit one of these requests for medical evaluations to the state. as a result, records show an average of 3200 drivers have to surrender their licenses each year well another 5000 drivers have to take a road exam or provide a medical clearance form. >> he will likely never drive again. >> his attorney has hinted ms contributed to the tragedy, but he has yet to provide more

provide some of those answers are temporarily impounded until at least thursday. we do know that he had three previous accidents on his driving record. wbz news. >> thank you. also tonight, bringing in a back up again. this was a tough tight -- tough site to see. we go to steve burton live tonight going to start thursday but i know you were a quarterback in college. get warmed up. >> it won't be me. i tell you it will not be tim tebow. he reported for his new job today with the new york mets. he was asked if the patriots contacted him. he said no. bottom line, we don't know who will get to start but i'm willing to bet it's jacoby. here's why. multiple reports say jimmy garoppolo suffered a sprained

quarter of yesterday's game. he did not return. you have to think it is a longshot at best. patriots are tightlipped on the status. that likely means he'll make his first nfl start against the texans. >> he's a smart young kid. i know he hasn't been in the nfl for a long time, but he seems to really grasp what the offense is trying to do. coaches and i'm excited to see what the future holds for him. >> everybody's prepared to do their job. when you are called upon, the expectation is high. >> they are confident. patriots all access will take you inside the patriots locker room after their victory

toward the east. some of the showers may work back into the region overnight tonight. especially toward cape cod and the islands. at the same time, this front swinging from the west is going to kick the other front out to see. it's also going to bring in drier air. maybe this was the complaint today. 2 points near 70. this is about as humid as it ever gets this time of year. a really soupy night. it'll be humid, foggy, a few showers. temps in the 60s and tomorrow morning still a very humid start. as we look through the next few hours here, a lot of cl more shower activity and beneficial rain, it's expected to be toward the cape and islands into tomorrow morning. as the day goes on tomorrow, clearing from west to east across the area. that's going to bring in the warmth. it's also going to bring in sunshine. look at the highs. worcester at 81 tomorrow. upper 70s to around 80 at the coast line. your coolest spot for the cape. it will be very humid. then we get relief headed into tomorrow night.

the week a stretch of 80s all lined up for us. summer weather still going on strong. average high in boston is 71. looking at low 80s for tomorrow and wednesday, mid-80s thursday , and friday the chance to hit upper 80s before a sharp cooldown on the way this weekend which is right on time. our equinox is thursday morning. 10:21 in the morning. that we'll be the official start of the fall season. also, thursday night football g mid-70s, and the south westerly breeze. in terms of humidity, it drops off significantly for wednesday and thursday. much more comfortable air even though the temperatures are very warm. here is your accuweather seven day. note the changes looking toward the weekend. a band of showers friday night into saturday morning. we are talking 60s on saturday and sunday. dry air, bright skies, good apple picking weather right there. over to you. thanks. yesterday jimmy goes down after an incredible game.

it was really tough to watch. sports director steve burton's life tonight. i guess the big question now is we are assuming jacoby plays on thursday. do they need a backup? >> they are looking for a backup. i am going to say jacoby will be the starter on thursday night, but you have to think there's no way jimmy garoppolo can play on thursday night especially with the injury that he took landing on that shoulder. another quarterback. they haven't done so just yet. before we look ahead to the texans, let's take a look back. let's go inside the patriot locker room after the victory over miami. >> thank you, thank you, thank you. jacoby, way to step up. >> you never know when it's your time.

>> you don't know how they're going to end. you don't know how the game is going to end. you prepare for this all the time. thank you, coach. i appreciate it. >> team on three. one, two, three, team. >> kevin faulk in the middle of it all. that's great stuff. looking ahead to the 3-0. the patriots are like a great poker person. i'll tell you that right now. they never show their hand and they are not willing to play. they are just that good. >> reporter: if you are wondering about jimmy garoppolo, we can at least report he is getting some nourishment. >> we were eating some cereal i think. he is a competitor.

the clock to get ready for this week. >> that's about it. no new quarterback veteran on the patriots roster. jacoby will have to do thursday solo. his teammate has confidence in him. >> he's a hard-working guy. just like the rest of us. quick turnaround and looking forward. >> that puts a lot of pressure on the defense. not saying they have to pick a shutout, but a low scoring game would be nice. >> prepare myself to be the best player i can be on good football team. >> one item that fails is giving looks to the defense. there's no one to run the scout team, so jacoby may have to prepare the offense and the defense for thursday night against the texans. i'm levan reed, wbz sports. >> thank you very much. for preview of the patriots and texans, check them out wednesday night at 7:00 right here on

every time a new charter school opens in massachusetts, it takes funding away from regular public schools in that area. this year alone, charter schools will take more than 400 million dollars away from neighborhood public schools. ot right. instead of draining even more money from neighborhood public schools and giving it to charters, let's devote public resources to all of our students... not just a select few. don't lift the cap on charter schools.
