this flu season... remember this. your immune system doesn't work the way it did when rock was young. so we made fluzone high-dose vaccine... for people 65+. with a high high higher dose of antigen... it's significantly more effective than fluzone vaccine in preventing flu. fluzone high-dose vaccine is approved for people 65 and older. it's not for anyone who's had a severe allergic reaction to any

vaccine component, including eggs, egg products, or to a prior dose of any flu vaccine. tell your doctor if you've ever had guillain-barr\ syndrome. side effects include pain swelling and redness at the injection site; muscle aches, fatigue, headache and fever. other side effects may occur. if you have other symptoms or problems following vaccination, call your doctor immediately. vaccination may not protect everyone. so, if you hopped around the clock, ask your doctor or pharmacist about fluzone high-dose.

antoinette: residents in south carolina are dealing with heavy rain and flooding right now. the wet weather relentless. it's expected to last through the weekend. flooded roadways presenting some challenges for drivers. cars stalling in the high water. the heaviest rains will likely come in several rounds through monday. governor nikki haley declaring a state of emergency. governor: this will be an historic rainfall event that we have never seen before in south carolina. antoinette: meteorologists say rainfall totals across some areas could reach ten to twelve inches and as much as 15 to 18 inches of rain in some of south carolina's low-country. the flooding also a major concern in new jersey right now. this was the scene at high tide yesterday. a nor'easter soaked the state,

dumping several inches of rain up and down the jersey shore. frank: right now, the u.s. coast guard is searching for a cargo ship with 28 americans on board. overnight, the coast guard was forced it to recall planes and helicopters searching the water off the bahamas for a disabled cargo ship with 33 crew members, including 28 americans. the "el faro" was caught in the storm as hurricane joaquin battered the bahamas. the vessel lost power near crooked island. and take a look here. dramatic images as the coast guard rescues a dozen people from another cargo ship as it took on water north of haiti. joaquin is a powerful category 3 hurricane. it continues to track away from the east coast. but there is some major flooding up and down the eastern seaboard. antoinette: that is really good news that it's moving away from the east coast because it's been sitting by the bahamas. it felt like it didn't move for a while. danielle: it didn't move. the bahamas got pummeled with tons of rain, strong winds. the bahamas will finally get

spared from this. because of that northeast jog it's taking, the east coast should get spare by this massive hurricane. you can see this as we look at infrared satellite. notice there is that eye pretty well defined right in there. hurricane warnings still up for the bahamas but it is pulling away to the north and east. in fact, moving at 13 miles per hour now. picking up some speed. it does have winds in excess of 125. it is a category 3 so weakened just a bit but notice it does east. it will make its closest pass to thing tuesday. at that point it will be a category one hurricane but still pretty much really far off shore. so any implications for us really is going to be the surf picking up. and potentially in minor coastal flooding because we're turning up the surf just a touch. you notice we have a lot of rain all up and down the east coast not associated with joaquin.

this stationary front that has been parked and just sitting there. unfortunately for us it has kept rain showers around, kept clouds around and we're on the cooler side so that northeast wind continues so it's going to be a raw, damp day out there yet again. not a washout though. you see some showers out there right now but very light in nature. we're going to start to see these wind down as we go through the morning hours. in fact, here is is that future cast. by 9:00, starting to let up just a touch especially from worcester to boston. as we get towards lunchtime, most of us just seeing clouds hanging around. there will be pockets of drizzle out there. i can't rule that out but not really hfy rain coming down. the only exception southeastern mass. in fact, south of the mass pike today is the best bet for seeing the rain showers. they may continue through the afternoon just a touch. really hit-or-miss though. not a washout like yesterday. so if you have things to do, you

can do them but remember that wind is really strong. it will be chilly and raw. notice the temperatures this morning. 42 degrees in worcester. 47 in orange. 50 in boston. lower 50's on the cape. as well as nantucket this morning. we are going to see these temperatures really hold steady through the afternoon. notice the showers staying in boston, say, until about 8:00 or so and then drying things out. the low 50's with a strong wind out of the north and east keeping our highs in the lower 50's through the afternoon. you will feel those wind gusts out there. they're gusting up to 25 miles per hour now in plymouth. 35-mile-per-hour wind gusts on nantucket. and because of that, the cape and the islands still under that wind advisory until 3:00 p.m. today so please be careful. with all the rain we've had, the loosened soil, the trees can be knocked over and power lines can be pulled down with wind gusts in excess of 45. we also have that coastal flood advisory. looking for minor splashover coming at high tide which is at

4:00 p.m. today. then we see cloudy drizzle around for tomorrow but things start to dry out. we're watching joaquin pull off shore. as we get towards, say, monday into tuesday, that's where it makes its closest pass. but as that happens, the sunshine is start to go breakthrough the sun deck. we start to see temperatures bump into the 60's. by wednesday near 70 degrees. antoinette and frank, i know you like that. frank: absolutely, danielle. thanks a lot. time right now is 6:18. here are some of the stories we are following right now. custody this morning after a tense standoff in colorado. police in arvada spent nearly four hours last night negotiating with a man who barricaded himself inside the lobby of their own headquarters. officials say the man was armed with a knife and a gun. the suspect surrendered peacefully, and no one was hurt. frank: right now, rescuers are searching frantically in guatemala where a devastating landslide has killed at least 26 people near guatemala city. the death toll expected to rise. officials say more than 600 are still missing.

the infamous b.r.c.a. genes but reports released today suggest many women who get it may not be getting the genetic counseling that should go with it. the new study appearing in oncology finding that more than seven out of ten women who asked their insurance companies to cover b.r.c.a. testing hadn't talked to a genetic counselor first. even though medical experts agree this counseling is crucial to informed decision-making. oddly, obgyn's were most likely to refer patients without genetic counseling and were more likely to refer women who did not fit criteria for b.r.c.a. testing such as those with no family history of certain cancers. antoinette: that was heather unruh reporting. before you ask to get tested for your genetic risk of breast cancer make sure your doctor sends you to a genetic countor. you'll have a better understanding of the test and where it's worth that cost. it's opening weekend at the topsfield fair, and what bigger way to kick it off than the annual new england giant pumpkin

contest? antoinette: check this out. gary vincent from plainville, connecticut, taking home the top prize. his pumpkin tipping the scales at a whopping 1,992 and a half pounds! the pumpkin, which vincent nicknamed "hightower," came pretty close to breaking the 2,000-pound record set three years ago. all of the this year's pumpkins will be on display at the fair through october 12. antoinette: a western mass furniture store was buzzing all week long, but it wasn't the cash registers making all the racket. more than 100,000 bees were extracted from a giant hive found inside a wall at this pittsfield warehouse. two beekeepers spent the week removing the nest that filled a bay window. on the sweet side 100 pounds of honey was recovered from the hive. the bees are headed to a new home, but the furniture might not be as nice. wow. that's a lot of honey. the pumpkin, the honey. i feel like we have a fall dish coming on here.

just a tenth or two tenths of an inch of rain. we're not looking for flooding. it is not a washout today. just light showers out there this morning. notice though the aerial coverage is getting smaller and more slender. and that is the trend through the morning hours. so as we go out into time what's going to happen is this stationary front eventually is going to wash out of here. once it does, it will get rid of the rain and the clouds too. so by 9:00 notice things really starting to wind down. the only exception really is going to be, i think, southeastern mass, the cape and the islands. folks down there may have to hang on to some showers for a little bit longer. again hit or miss. not a rainout like yesterday or a washout. and those winds will be persistent coming off the water out of the north and east. that is why this morning it's a chilly start out there. in the 40's in worcester. 47 degrees in orange. and 50 in boston. low to mid 50's on nantucket. so unfortunately these temperatures really not going to

in fact, these are the highs today. upper 40's in worcester. low 50's in boston. and notice that wind. i leave that in the forecast. that wind is gusting to near 35 miles per hour now on nantucket. and that is creating a little bit of an issue. that's because we have this wind advisory in effect for the cape and the islands until 3:00 p.m. today. so again with a lot of mois tour in the ground, that can easily pull down a tree, also take down some power lines. so be aware of that. along the coast we're looking for minor coastal flooding at high tide which is coming at 4:00 today. so watch that carefully. we're expecting similar conditions to what we saw yesterday afternoon for the same areas may flood just a touch. again it's with the strong northeast winds and the tides high, we look for beach erosion and minor coastal flooding. the other thing we're watching is hurricane joaquin. a category 3 hurricane finally pulling to the north and east. and as it does so, it is going

to weaken just a touch. and by monday night into tuesday morning, that is when it will make its closest pass to us. not looking like much except for stirring up the ocean with rip-current risks and of course that can also lead to maybe some flashover during times of high tide but on sunday, too, i want to talk about this because it is not going to be a washout either. notice most of the day for most of us is dry. but we are socked in with the clouds. the only exception may be north and west extreme where you could see maybe some breaks of sun. notice some showers though along the east coast of massachusetts. we do dry out as we get towards monday. by tuesday upper 60's and low 70's by the end of the week. antoinette. antoinette: danielle, thank you. a new study finds that kids who are properly vaccinated have a lower risk of stroke from some common ailments. cold, flu, and minor infections increase the already small risk of stroke in children. but now researchers say that risk is significantly lower in kids who are on the recommended

journal neurology. frank: a look at sports this morning. a bad night for henry owens with the red sox and cleveland indians in the final series of the year for both teams. david ortiz, back in the lineup last night, continued his hot hitting streak with his 37th homer of the year in the 4th inning. but that wasn't enough. cleveland held on to the lead. sox losing this one 8-2. the sox have just two games left in the season. craig breslow will start on the mound today. antoinette: on the ice now. the bruins scored their only goal of the game early giving them a quick 1-0 lead. the b's promised to be more physical and aggressive this year, and they show it here. one of the five fights on the night. things got so intense that players wound up yelling at each other from the penalty box. capitals won the game 2-1 in a shootout. opening night is next thursday at the garden against winnipeg. as for the celtics, they practiced yesterday in waltham before heading off for a nice getaway.
