emily: we walked in this morning and we said, okay. olessa: this is proof that this isn't planned. cindy: clearly we're feeling a little blue this morning. you were channeling last night's sunset. if you didn't get a chance to see it, look at this picture. it was spectacular. this is wayland last night. you see that cloud cover there reflecting the sun going down there below the horizon. the sky was just aglow and ablaze with pinks and oranges. it looked fantastic last night. now we have cleared out those clouds during the overnight hours. so today we're going to return to some sunshine. it has been so gloomy around here lately. nice weather coming on in for today. it's going to turn milder this afternoon as well. our next chance for rain is not coming in on-- until friday so the weather is turning around. the average high is 65. we've been running below that all month long. we're going to jump above average today into tomorrow. it should be the warmest day of the week. the temperatures will start to come down a little bit as we head toward thursday. take a look at the readings right now. we're 49 boston.

most of the suburbs going down in the 40's tonight. and tomorrow is a milder day but we're watching a cold front come through with passing clouds late tomorrow. and this will bring in slightly cooler temperatures here coming up on thursday. you'll see that in the seven-day forecast. if you're wondering about joaquin, still a hurricane. moving away from us now, 0 miles southeast of nantucket. it will continue this trek through the north central atlantic, not bothering anyone in the days ahead. we're seeing that sunshine coming on in. look at the temperature tomorrow right around 70. warmest day of the week. cooler behind it in the wake of that frontal boundary. then on friday that's our next opportunity to see some showers mostly coming in in the afternoon it appears with this frontal boundary. then the plan is for this front to get out of here on saturday. it stays on schedule. we'll clear things out nicely on saturday. however, i do want to caution one of our computer models slowing this front down with a wave of low pressure. right now i'm going for clearing saturday. look at the holiday weekend.

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 telling gesture. hand-crafted...layer by layer. r the new macchiato from dunkin' donuts. experience the flavor of fall with a new hot or iced pumpkin macchiato. p p i have this recurring dream p p where i actually enjoy flying r r there's plenty of room t t to stretch out v r r i never get bored r
