to commemorate 10 years since the devastating flood. yesterday, a plaque was unveiled. the stone built into a rock on the edge of the cold river. it's built in memory of the victims who were killed, the property destroyed, and in gratitude for all those who helped with rescues and recovery. reid: it is now 5:16. talking to danielle. we have a really beautiful day out there. there's a difference though. i have sleeves. and a jacket. antoinette: we're freezing. we're trying to just conjure up summer thoughts here. danielle: right. here's the thing. by afternoon we're going to be just fine because. antoinette: you're going to be sweating. danielle: you're going to be sweating at 78 degrees. we have a lot of things on talk about this morning. hey, if you're waking up with us starting out on the chilly side. want to talk about what is happening. high pressure dominating our weather through the weekend which means a lot of sunshine, dry conditions. in fact, we really couldn't ask for a better columbus day weekend.
5:17 am
however, i'm watching a system up to the north. you can see bringing some showers up in northern new england so if you're thinking about potentially going up north to do leaf peeping today be aware of that. clouds, slight rain showers and even some snow up in northern maine. i didn't want to mention that but it is happening. dowb to the south we're watching this area of low pressure here. unfortunately this is same area that brought more rain to south carolina to a place that does not need it. and this is our next big weather-maker. that's going to bring us some showers beginning late tomorrow night into early tuesday morning. closer to home though real he'll just some clouds sprinkling down today, this morning. that's really about it. so we are dry. not only for today but we get rain in here starting on monday. and tuesday is is a better chance of seeing some much-needed rain. just to talk about where we are for the year, we're still down over six inches of rain for the year. and down near an inch for october.
5:18 am
we are going to welcome it in when we get it. it is coming at the tail end of your workweek. so it isn't that bad. as for temperatures right now, we're starting in the 40's in boston. 44 on the cape. 53 on nantucket. a milder start up there. merrimack valley you're in the upper 30's. pittsfield. that is why we still have that frost advisory in place for western mass until 8:00 a.m. so again there probably is going to be some patchy frost. if you're able to get a picture of it for me, please tweet or facebook it. visibility down to a quarter of a mile in orange, half a mile in keene. we are talking about some fog this morning too. it is going to burn off. all the clouds will push out of here by, say, lunchtime. but there still could be some clouds around at least through the morning hours. high, thin ones. by lunch timing we clear out. and through the day, we see lots of sunshine. that sunshine with a nice southwest wind is going to warm those temperatures up. so today we're talking upper
5:19 am
60's, maybe pushing 70 in some spots like lawrence and nashua. the winds out of the south and west at 5-15. tonight it will be a milder night than last night. temperatures holding in the 40's and 50's for overnight lows. and then tomorrow because we start out warmer, we warm up even more. so we're well into the mid 70's. some spots the upper 70's. it's a mild day overall. but notice we have a lot of sunshine and then i bring in a little bit of a cloud cover. that is going to start on monday night into early tuesday. so let me show you the timeline on the future cast. notice clear skies out there for much of the day on monday. once we get towards, say, midnight we start to see the showers develop from a coastal low just off the carolinas right now. then as we get towards the morning hours for your rush-hour on tuesday, it will be a little wet worcester and points east. we watch a second system which is a cold front that's going to bring additional chances for showers, say, tuesday into early wednesday.
5:20 am
can, to my seven-day. although it looks like my seven-day may have jumped for me. as for what we can expect for the rest of the week here's what's going to happen. temperatures start to cool off behind that cold front back into the 60's where we belong for this time of year. it looks like thursday, friday, saturday could be a bit unsettled. and the big push with this is once we get towards next weekend , really cold air comes down from canada. we're talking overnight lows in the 30's and maybe even a few 20's up for the mountain region so we're talking about a cool end to the workweek. antoinette: we're going to enjoy the 70's. thank you. time right now is 5:20. stories we're following right now. reid: no one is claiming responsibility for two explosions that targeted a turkish peace rally in ankara. the death toll in those blasts rising. at least 95 people were killed, and hundreds more injured. the country's prime minister says there are "strong signs" that the two explosions were suicide bombings, suggesting kurdish rebels of isis militants are to blame.

5:23 am
their own. the bruins drop their first two games of the year 4-2 the final last night. and it's the patriots and the cowboys later this afternoon. mike lynch with all the highlights, post-game reaction and analysis tonight on sportscenter 5 o.t. have a great day. but marriage can have its challenges. reid: no idea what you're talking about. and there's one new england tradition that proves it. the obstacles these couples encountered in this year's "north american wife carrying championship." alternative to wanna-be leaf peepers. the business he's created to help people far away get an up-close look at the fall

as high pressure really dominates our weather. we have southwest winds warming things up. we are watching this system down to the south where you can see some rain over the carolinas. they really don't need this rain, but this is an area of low pressure. this is going to track along the coast and bring us our next chance for rain. we'll talk about when we could see the rain and how long the warmth will last ahead. antoinette. antoinette: danielle, thank you. firefightersfirefighters in quincy on the scene of a two-alarm fire on lebanon street. this is video just into our news room moments ago. the cause of the fire is now under investigation. it has been knocked down. the building was on the old lebanon club which has been abon fonned for years. reid: a police officer opens fire after a violent confrontation in beverly. the suspect shot and killed while behind the wheel of an s.u.v. responding officers saying that the suspect was using his s.u.v. as a weapon. antoinette: in franklin
