this is long beach at high tide, and the surf was really up. plenty of splash-over too. flooding in some low-lying roads. but there is clearing ahead for us. danielle, that is very good news to hear this morning. good morning. that's correct. those winds that brought the very high surf yesterday will be lessening as we go through the day today. that should give a little bit of a break at the coastline. still looking for the potential of a little splashover. looking at satellite and radar, still socked in with clouds. high pressure still has control of us, but it's those strong winds out of the north and east that have been dominating. one thing is this stationary front that's been impacting us slide to go the south. so today doesn't look as wet as it's been the last several days. in fact, here's the future cast. notice as we go through the morning hours, there could be some patchy drizzle by the coast. definitely some low-lying clouds but other than that, most of us staying dry today.

the only exception would be farther north and west where you may see some breaks of sun by the end of the day. but more breaks of sunshine on the way. that should help warm up our temperatures. in fact, a major warm-up is coming. we'll talk about it in the seven-day forecast ahead. antoinette. antoinette: danielle, thank you. honoring two massachusetts-based airmen killed in a plane crash in afghanistan. the two were deployed out of hanscom air force base. frank: the pentagon has now released their names. as our jim lokay reports, the shock of the loss is still setting in. >> such a beautiful girl, you know. just beautiful. strong-hearted. strong-hearted. jim: this is hour first class airman randy hobson wants the world to remember first class airman casey ruiz. the 21-year-old lost her life along with senior airman nathan sartain. two of the six airmen killed along with five civilians. losing ruiz is personal. >> we lived with each other for

four months before we were our paths crossed. it worked out pretty well. she maintained security for hanscom. i worked for colonel vogel right here. reporter: the hanscom commander says many on the base can't recall such a loss in decades. >> the support that we receive to help our airmen get through this tragic time has been worthwhile. jim: while the details of the crash are still under investigation the focus here on helping each other through the ultimate sacrifice. >> strong-hearted as hell. she would help anyone through any situation. it's just the way she was. even when she needed help, she did it herself. she was so resilient. jim: as the flags here at hanscom remain at half mast randy and other members of the hanscom community will head to dover air base tomorrow for the dignified transfer bringing back

you can probably hold it but then if you want to take the top of the bottle off, it would be enough friction that it would react. antoinette: fire officials say no one was hurt. luckily the substance was found outside. normally safe disposal of picric acid can take several days inside labs. frank: five arrests in the chaos outside a worcester concert. police using pepper spray to break up the crowd outside the palladium friday night. now we are learning more about how things went so wrong. a chaotic scene at a party venue in worcester, police used pepper spray on what they call an out-of-control crowd. >> --everybody in their eyes. organized crowd." i said asked them, "do you have of get their attention.?" everybody is just kind of frank: hundreds of college students from all across the here to the palladium to dance and have a good time as part of the "i love college" party tour. the crowd became unruly around 10:30 friday night according to

a worcester police press police. police say the staff told worcester officers hired to work security some people were trying to use counterfeit tickets. police say the crowd also removed barriers used to organize lines, and several fights broke out. >> what happened here tonight was just a bunch of college kids, you know, just acting reckless in front of the door. so the police had to shut it down. frank: all officers in the city were called to the scene. a dozen mass state police troopers and a k9 also called to assist. promoters then decided to end the party early. according to police, that did not sit well with the people outside who paid as much as $30 a ticket. police say the pepper spray was deployed in the air to get the crowd to move. no one was sprayed directly. >> once they were pepper spraying, i just closed my eyes and ran. everybody's eyes were burning. everybody was screaming. frank: five men between the ages all charged with disorderly conduct. cracking down on underage

college drinking, launching its "operation safe campus" initiative. the state's alcoholic beverages control commission says it will be monitoring bars and liquor stores near college campuses that have had problems with fake i.d.'s in the past. a.b.c.c. says it caught more than 200 minors last year and confiscated 122 cases of beer. frank: the city of brockton cracking down on crime. new f.b.i. statistics show the number of overall violent crimes is down nearly 15 percent from 2013 to 2014. but the murder rate is causing some alarm. 12 people were murdered last year. the city has taken steps to make the streets safer. they've added more officers to the force. antoinette: last call for a quincy landmark. the beachcomber celebrated with a sold-out crowd who danced the night away with the drop kick murphys. the popular venue opened its doors in 1959 and was a staple of the boston music scene for decades. the beachcomber will be demolished to make way for a high-end restaurant which will be constructed on higher ground

quincy shore drive. a controversy right now at a new hampshire college. a plan to move sports teams to division three of the ncaa isn't sitting well with some. benefit students who receive scholarships. an explosion rattles a neighborhood in brooklyn, killing one and injuring several others. what may have caused the blast. antoinette: several students in this morning after a roof collapses on them. the terrifying incident that left those students trapped underneath. danielle: another cloudy day on tap for us, but there are big changes on the way for the week ahead. when it will clear up and my timeline for warmer

antoinette: 5:11. welcome back. this morning dozens of high school students are recovering after an awning collapsed on top of them. rescue crews in north carolina say a truck hit a support beam causing the concrete canopy to fall. at least 20 students were underneath. several of them were trapped under these concrete slabs.

suffering from serious injuries. >> it was just like a horror movie that came out of nowhere, it just happened. the kids inside were crying. antoinette: most of the students were at the high school in olin for a band competition. they were from school all over the area. frank: south carolina bearing the brunt of a stubborn storm. downtown charleston is closed to incoming traffic. rain has washed out some bridges, flooded roads, and left some drivers stranded. the torrential, record-setting rains are causing issues as far north as new jersey. president obama has declared a state of emergency in south carolina and ordered federal aid to help state and local efforts. antoinette: i know we've been talking about hurricane joaquin but that has nothing to do with it. that's the high surf that's coming to our area as well. danielle: that stubborn stationary front that just hasn't left the east coast. antoinette: pesky. danielle: pesky, yes. it's finally pulling away from us so that's great news. it's losing its grip. eventually we'll see more sunshine and warmer conditions.

let me show you what i'm talking about. we do have a low chance of seeing some drizzle both today and tomorrow. today the best chances are along the east coast of massachusetts. and tomorrow the best bet is really southeastern mass of seeing anything at all. other than that though, you notice tuesday and wednesday i leave out in terms of rain chances. and that's because we're going to see more sunshine and warmer conditions. right now we just are socked in with the clouds. really no rain out here as of yet. coming. notice that stationary front farther to the south now. there's hurricane joaquin getting closer to bermuda. we'll talk about that in just a second but first high pressure still has its grip on us which means that northeast fetch continues. and the winds continue to be on the stronger side bringing in low-level moisture. so as we go through the day today, here's what happens. notice it's very hit-or-miss, very patchy at best. but there could be some low-level drizzle.

low-level clouds for sure at the coast. those clouds make it all the way into worcester county. but notice north of manchester, the cloud deck. that is going to be the trend as we head towards the later half of the afternoon. notice the clouds kind of trying to pull out of here. still plaguing the east coast but out in western mass, southern new hampshire, that's where i'm cautiously optimistic we could see some sunshine. the best chances for the patchy drizzle in this area you see in green today but it is not a washout by any means. you can still do your outdoor activities. it's on the chilly side this morning. 42 degrees. look at concord at 38 this morning. it is is in the low 50's in boston. and those winds are still brisk. they're gusting up to about 0 miles an hour now on nantucket. but they are going to back off as we get through the later half of the afternoon and more so into tomorrow. high temperatures today will reach into the low to mid 50's, maybe a few upper 50's through

the afternoon, but it's still a pretty cloudy day. tonight with the clouds clearing just a touch we'll see temperatures drop into the 30's through the merrimack valley. low 40's in worcester. upper 40's in boston. and then tomorrow with a little more sunshine, although there still will be in clouds especially for you folks at the cape and the islands. temperatures rebound to right around 60 if not above. so it is a lot warmer out there. you're going to feel the difference. now there is that hurricane warning from the bahamas. we're watching joaquin very carefully. it is a category 3 hurricane with winds of 120 miles an hour. so it will make its past by the bahamas later this evening. once it does, it then turns out to sea. closest to us monday night into early tuesday. but really not doing much for us. so the next seven days look like this. temperatures warming up. we're back into the upper 60's by tuesday with some sunshine.

also notice i write "dry" in the seven-day. by wednesday 70 degrees and lots of sunshine. it will feel a lot nicer outside. antoinette and frank. antoinette: danielle, thank you. time right now is 5:15. here are some of the stories we are following right now. frank: one person is dead and eight others are injured after a gas explosion in new york city. it happened inside a three-story apartment building in brooklyn. the front of the building was blown into the street. fire officials suspect a recently disconnected stove may have caused the blast. the victim, a woman in her 60's, lived on the floor above. antoinette: another shooting on an arizona freeway. but investigators do not believe this incident is connection with the dozen of other highway shootings over the past few weeks. a driver claims someone fired off seven shots at his car. investigators believe the shooting may be a case of road rage. the victim believes the other driver was angry because he was not going fast enough. frank: state officials in washington are suspending duck tours in seattle. the moves comes after a deadly accident last month, five people were killed and dozens more hurt when one of the duck vehicles crashed into a tour bus. now the state wants the company's entire fleet

inspected. suspended the rides out of respect for the victims. the supreme court in session october. court watchers believe justices will be taking on a host of controversial topics. on the agenda, president obama's action on immigration. also on the docket, a challenge president's health care bill that calls for no-cost birth control to women. some religious hospitals, the mandate. and the court is also expected to consider the regulation of abortion clinics in texas. antoinette: a controversial move saint anslem wants to move its sports teams down from division two to three. but not everyone is on board with the decision. learned about the status change when the college submitted its application to the ncaa. >> the students that were recruited to come here were recruited under the illusion they would compete at a high level. now they are cheated of that opportunity. >> this is a good thing that people are speaking up.

we want to hear from them because the board has to make an informed decision at some point if an invitation is awarded to us. antoinette: the college says it is only exploring the possibility, and it will take months for the ncaa to make a decision. the college president adds the division change gives the school more options for how it distributes scholarship money. frank: today is the final game of the season for the sox and for the team's play-by-play guy. before last night's game against cleveland, don orsillo tweeted a video message from an old friend and former sox skipper terry francona. terry francona: i just want to wish you well in your last red sox' game. on a personal note, if you could stop by before you leave tomorrow and drop off a highlight tape so i have trouble sleeping over the winter, that always helps. never ceases to amaze how some of your calls can put me to sleep just like that.

being really serious, it's fun watching you guys. i'm glad i got to be a little bit of a part of that. take care. frank: a nice mess and from tito. a rough night for the sox in cleveland. brock holt takes one off the knee. he had to be helped off the field, but the medical staff is saying it's just a bruise. the indians getting the only offense of the game. carlos santana with a solo homer off craig breslow in the second. two innings later, it was ryan raburn's turn. indians shut out the sox 2-0. the final game today in cleveland. first pitch at 3:10 antoinette: it's one of the most photographed events of the year. frank: we take you to new mexico and the international balloon festival. wait 'til you see what happens after the sun goes down. antoinette: a live look this morning from worcester. it is dark outside. it's a little brisk. if you plan on going out maybe for an early morning walk, take the dog out. 52 degrees right now in needham.

radar but watching obviously hurricane, hurricane joaquin heading out to sea which is great news. but it is going to make a very close path to bermuda later on this evening so we're going to watch this. the other area we were concerned with yesterday has diminished in terms of how much we're looking for. a 10% chance of it becoming a tropical system which is great news. so as we look for the next seven days here's what's going to happen. tomorrow we'll start to warm up with some breaks of sunshine. full sunshine and dry conditions on tuesday and wednesday. and temperatures warming into antoinette? antoinette: danielle, thank you. it was a night of education and empowerment for breast cancer survivors at the "day of caring" event in norwood. i hosted the event which featured numerous educational sessions on topics ranging from ways to lower recurrence rates to improving survival through lifestyle changes. the sessions were followed by a fashion show featuring breast cancer survivors. october is breast cancer awareness month.

it's considered one of the most photographed events of the world. people are in new mexico to watch the international balloon fiesta, more than 500 balloons filling the sky. star wars fans well represented with darth vader and yoda balloons. the balloons representing dozens of states and nearly 20 different countries. even after nightfall the show is pretty spectacular. antoinette: and i have seen this many a time. for those of you who know i used to work in albuquerque. picture and video never ever do the event justice. it's always something to behold when you see it in real life. frank: is there one that comes back every year. antoinette: two bees that go up in the air and then they kiss. ists super cute. frank: a sport unlike any other. this morning we're introducing you to bubble soccer, and we'll tell you where you can join in on the fun. feeling the "bern." a huge rally as democratic presidential candidate bernie sanders rolls into town. frank: and donald trump making headlines again.

this time, reacting to the shooting in oregon. his take on gun control. >> this is an editorial by wcvb-tv channel 5 president and general manager bill fine. bill fine: achieving a lifelong dream, house speaker john boehner seemed deeply moved watching pope francis speak to a joint session of congress. the next day, he resigned. although boehner claims the decision was finalized months earlier, while listening to the pope's call for a renewed spirit of fraternity, one can't help but wonder if the speaker was reminded just how dismal that prospect seems for the legislative body he presides over. during boehner's five-year tenure as speaker, a small but vociferous tea party-inspired group of representatives has increasingly stymied his leadership. boehner's been forced to repeatedly engage in ideologically-driven-- but politically unwinnable-- battles, one of which resulted in a damaging government shutdown in 2013. this fall promises more of the same on capitol hill. boehner has had enough.

and who can blame him? whatever you may think about his leadership skills, few would accuse boehner of not caring deeply about the institution of congress. nevertheless, he knows firsthand just how far the public's respect for the house and senate has plunged. it's no coincidence that all three of the leading g.o.p. presidential candidates have never held elective office. boehner also pulled no punches, referring to ultra-conservatives as "false prophets" willing to compromise less and less and holding little value at all for actual governance. by the end of october, such scorched-earth, political zealotry will no longer be boehner's problem, resting instead with the new speaker and ultimately the nation as well. pope francis called on congress to cooperate "generously for the public good." although that's unlikely given the recent past, here's hoping its most intractable members heed his words, if not their own outgoing speaker's final and

>> now on newscenter 5's "eyeopener." frank: the search for a missing ship caught in hurricane joaquin. the new clue search crews have found and the sailors from new england on board. antoinette: and commitment 2016. a raucous rally for bernie sanders in boston. danielle: another cool and mostly gray day ahead. but changes are on the way. when we'll see a warmup in the week ahead. >> you're watching wcvb, boston's news leader. good morning!

"eyeopener." frank: good morning. just about 5:30 on this sunday morning. i'm frank holland. antoinette: and i'm antoinette antonio along with danielle vollmar. you've been tracking some of this rain we've been seeing, but luckily i think we're going to clear out today. danielle: i think i'm going to start becoming people's friend again. antoinette: oh, yes. frank: you always are. danielle: everybody blames me when it's rainy and windy. antoinette: she's just the messenger. danielle: you can see that the rain is still plaguing parts of the southeast. as for us, we're starting to dry things out. i can't rule out some patchy drezzal as we go through the later morning into the afternoon hours especially if you live along the east coast of massachusetts. other than that though, i am saying we are going to be cloudy and mainly dry today. it is not a washout by any means. those winds are still coming out of the north and east, creating brisk, cool conditions. that stationary front that has

been bringing up the rain sinking farther to the south so that is great news. temperatures this morning with a little clearing have dropped into the 40's in worcester, upper 30's in concord. but as we go through the afternoon, we will see temperatures rebound back into the mid 50's, maybe even a few upper 50's. notice there is there are maybe breaks of sunshine especially the farther north and west you live. later today. better chance for more sunshine forecast. of course, with that comes the warm up. we'll talk about when we could see 70's ahead. frank. frank: thanks a lot, danielle. right now the pentagon is investigating a deadly airstrike in afghanistan. 19 people are dead after the "doctors without borders" clinic was hit multiple times. the strikes began before dawn yesterday and lasted for nearly 45 minutes. among those killed were 12 of the charity group's staff members. antoinette: the search for a during hurricane joaquin picks up again this morning. that after the coast guard found a life ring from the "el faro" floating in the ocean.

because of high winds and rough seas. four of the sailors on that ship are from maine. two of the crew members, dylan from rockland. captain michael davidson is from windham. and the fourth mainer on the ship is michael holland from wilton. friends of the missing sailors are hoping and praying for the ship's safe return. >> you think about the worst but those guys are out there doing what they're trained to do. antoinette: while the discovery of the ship's life ring is significant, search crews say because of the high winds and rough seas, it could have easily blown off the ship. frank: commitment 2016. big buzz for democratic presidential candidate bernie sanders. a near capacity crowd of 20,000 at the boston convention center. as pam cross explains, the senator from vermont surprising some political experts with his highly competitive campaign. bernie sanders: i don't have a super pac.

and i don't need a super pac. i do not represent the agenda of the billionaire class or corporate america, and i don't want their money. pam: they packed the convention center to overflowing. bernie sanders appealed to a younger demographic is clear as his supporters assemble. this saturday night date one of his biggest events so far. many wait to go hear sanders hit on many themes including diversity of his people. bernie sanders: while the millionaires and billionaires may have more money than we do. we have something that they don't have. look around this room. this is what we have. >> i think it's very concerning to us that a lot of people not just in the u.s. but globally don't share the same privileges that we do. don't have the same access to medicine and health care that we do.

bernie sanders: it is not a left wing extremist ideal to say if somebody in this country works 40 hours a week that that person should not live in poverty. pam: sanders began this saturday by speaking to about 6,000 in springfield. he's leading in iowa and new hampshire polls. the vermont senator is trying to build donors and a political base in massachusetts. i'm pam cross, wcvb, newscenter 5. antoinette: republicans on the road as well including carly fiorina. she was in new hampshire at the "american principles" project meeting. the group in hooksett wants to limit the powers of the federal government. >> we've come to a place where our government is both inept and corrupt at what it is supposed to do, and inept and corrupt in doing things it is not supposed to do. antoinette: fiorina will meet with former bay state senator scott brown today and and hold a town hall meeting tonight. frank: g.o.p. presidential

suggesting teachers should carry guns. at a campaign rally in tennessee, trump said that if teachers has been armed during the mass shooting at a community college in oregon the incident would not have been as tragic. trump: by the way it was a gun-free zone. i will tell you if you had a couple of the teachers or somebody with guns in that room, you would have been a hell of a lot better off. frank: trump also vowed to uphold gun rights while attacking calls for more gun control. antoinette: we're learning more about the heroes in the oregon community college shooting. from the man who confronted the shooter to a woman who tried to save her friends. we're also learning more about how the gunman died. nursing students can't forget what happened thursday at you were qua community college. >> rapid, rapid fire. antoinette: but shi and her classmates quickly found out what they thought were fire crackers outside their room were gunshots. her friend kim had no idea until she was hit.

>> please just breathe. come on, kimi. antoinette: but it was too late. that's when 0-year-old army veteran chris mintz showed up and told everyone to get down. >> it's my son's birthday. come on, dude. come on. then you hear rapid fire again. antoinette: mintz was shot seven times but survived. >> that's the true sign of a hero right there. he put his own life in front of everyone else's. antoinette: nine people died ranging in age from 18 to 67 years old. eight students and one professor. new details are also emerging about the man who pulled the trigger, 26-year-old student chris harper-mercer. he came armed with six guns including an automatic rifle. and a bullet-proof vest. law enforcement was on the scene within six minutes. two minutes after that, the gunman was down. >> the medical examiner has reported to us that the cause of death was suicide. antoinette: the shooter lived with his mother and had once

2008 just one month into basic training, the military discharged him for failing to meet the minimum standards. and a memorial to the victims is growing just outside the campus. classes on campus have been canceled through next week. frank: boston police are searching for a suspect wanted for a brazen carjacking. investigators are just releasing this surveillance video of the suspect. a woman claims she was parking her car in the south end when a man pushed his way into her car. she managed to get away. the car was found later on peterbough street where it had been set on fire. police also released this closer shot of the suspect. the images captured just before or after the incident. anyone with information is asked to give police a call. antoinette: children in crisis. are boston students waiting too long for help? superintendent tommy chang reveals "on the record" that the school system has problems with d.c.f. as well. : have there been cases where teachers have reported it to d.c.f. or any other agency and there's been no response.

changment. i think the response rates have been a little bit longer than needed. antoinette: chang also explains why boston needs a billion dollars to renovate schools. watch o.t.r. this morning at 11:00 right here on channel 5. one of the state's largest medical transport companies suddenly shuts down. frank: "5 investigates" with exclusive details on the investigation now underway. antoinette: a high school shooting plot foiled. the apparent targets and how the suspects got busted. danielle: there is clearing ahead for us. my timeline for the changes that will bring back the sunshine. hand-crafted...layer by layer. from dunkin' donuts. experience the flavor of fall with a new hot or iced

people of the coffee drinking world, dunkin' has a dark roast coffee that's deliciously roasted just right for a bold start and smooth finish that's never bitter. put down the dark roast you've been putting up with and reach for the one you deserve. antoinette: a "5 investigates" exclusive. questions this morning about a company that, until just weeks ago, was one of the largest providers of medical transportation for the state. frank: investigative reporter kathy curran has details. kathy: talking about a company that was paid millions in tax dollars to drive people on mass health to medical appointments, but sources tell us that company rite-way is under investigation by multiple state agencies. the rite-way vehicles parked in this lot in avon aren't going anywhere any time soon. sources tell "5 investigates" the attorney general's office is looking into the way the company

recruited clients and whether they billed for services not provided. rite-way abruptly stopped giving rides to thousands of clients statewide three weeks ago. laurie gregory: i was told to let my drivers know that we were closed until further notice. kathy: rite-way manager laurie gregory was shocked when she got the call at her cape cod office. she says as far as she knows, everything is on the up-and-up. laurie gregory: i knew that i was doing everything appropriately that needed to be done. i know some stuff was being said, but i knew none of that was true because i did my job the right way. the people in the other parts of the company, like different areas, they all did their job the right way. kathy: records obtained by "5 investigates" showed rite-way billed the state far more than any of its competitors. the transportation company's billing to the state skyrocketed

2012 to nearly $16 million this past fiscal year. a figure five times bigger than any other provider of non-emergency transportation. we tried to talk to rite-way owner michael davini at his vacation home on an island in rindge, new hampshire, as his boat was being hauled out of the water, but davini wasn't home. in a statement davini says, "we have always done our best to act fully within the law, and we expect that this will be confirmed by a complete investigation." john cardoza: it just got shut down so suddenly. kathy: rite-way's abrupt closing has caused many problems for clients like john cardoza who used the company to get to a methadone clinic on the cape. john cardoza: they dropped off us. everything was fine. then like an hour later, i find out everything is gone. kathy: we've learned both the a.g. and the auditor are investigating. both declined to comment. mass health members who use

call 844-748-3928. kathy curran, "5 investigates." >> now your storm team 5 forecast with meterologist danielle vollmar. danielle: it's a cool start out there today, but temperatures are on the way up. not necessarily today. we're only reaching into the mid 50's. we should be running around 66 degrees this time of year. but notice as we get towards tuesday, we're running around average. by wednesday, running above average in boston. of course, with that warm-up is going to come more sunshine too. over boston right now, you it's a cloudy start. 52 degrees. the wind out of the east-northeast at 2 miles an hour sustained so they are on the stronger side. unfortunately today, another day with very strong winds but they will begin to back out and back down later tonight into first thing tomorrow. and because of that, it's a chilly one especially in worcester. 42 degrees there. 43 lawrence. concord checking in at 38

degrees. and there has been some frost advisories up through northern new england as temperatures have dipped right around freezing if not below. those winds are pretty gusty out there. gusting upwards of 30 miles an hour on nantucket. so they are strong. not as strong as yesterday. and tomorrow they start to lessen which is great news. we get a break from that northeast wind. that northeast wind is also bringing in a lot of moisture. so that's why in boston today expecting cloud cover. and there could even be some patchy drizzle especially along our coastal communities. and the winds stay pretty strong through the afternoon out of the north and east. high temperatures climbing into the mid 50's in boston. mid 50's in taunton. 5 in hyannis. 61 on nantucket. so warmer down to the south. we're going to see warmer conditions continue. as we look at satellite and radar, not really much is going on this morning. it's just cloudy out there. perhaps some breaks in the cloud deck. there's an indication that we

could see some, some breaks of sunshine today. although that will be very far north and west. we are watching joaquin down to the south. still a category 3 hurricane. it is headed out to sea but before it does so, it will move over the bahamas. that stationary front that gave us pretty steady rain sinking farther to the south. so today it really is just about some drizzle. that is really itment not a washout. you can still what you want to do outside. it will just be cloudy and still pretty cool. so by 9:00 see a couple of showers popping up on the map and the drizzle along the south shore and the cape. they continue through the afternoon but notice start to go see some breaks in the cloud deck especially southern new hampshire out in western mass. we're going to see more of that as we go through the day and even into tomorrow. so the patchy drizzle in this area right in here, tonight with some clearing, temperatures dropping into the 30's. and then tomorrow with the wind changing to north we'll see everybody warming back into the low to even mid 60's.

and the next seven days, joaquin passes off shore on monday. then we start to see some brightening as we get towards wednesday. this is the day i'm looking at because we start to warm up with a westerly wind. look at those high temperatures, upper 60's, low 70's. you're going to feel a big difference out there especially because that wind will be backing off. it will feel a lot better outside. we do turn slightly cooler on thursday. there is a chance for rain coming friday into saturday. antoinette and frank? frank: thanks a lot, danielle. time right now is 5... 47. checking more top stories happening right now. antoinette: students in northern california busted for allegedly plotting a mass shooting at their school. investigators believe the four students were targeting specific victims. the names of both students and staffers found on a so called "hit list." police were tipped to the plot the suspects acting suspiciously russia is launching a new wave of airstrikes in syria. other rebel groups. russia says it has flown 20 missions in syria over a 24-hour

cloudy skies right now. but no real shower activity. and with the clouds and that northeast wind, temperatures have been running well below normal for the month of october. yesterday we only had a my hf 54 in boston. friday 54. obviously thursday was 59 degrees. so starting out kind of cool but temperatures are on the way up. not necessarily today. because we have the strong winds out of the north and east. but as we get towards monday we're back to 60 degrees. some spots maybe even in the lower 60's. by tuesday, back into the upper 60's. by wednesday, near 70 degrees. so we are starting to warm up. out the door right now, you can see we are in the low 40's and 50's. again today, we are warming things up. and through the workweek, we will warm up especially midweek. that will feel really nice. twoip and frank. frank: thanks a lot, danielle. it's a contact sport like no other. antoinette: if you can really call bubble soccer a sport. several new leagues are popping up around the bay state making
