5:09 am
at home and doing damage in a local neighborhood. why catching it is no easy task. karen: a 10-mile stretch of highway north of los angeles that is covered with mud several feet deep in some parts. just how long it could take residents to clean up the mess. danielle: waking up to a chill this morning. it does feel like fall and this cold spell is here to stay. your weekend forecast coming up. karen: we are following breaking news. an overnight amber alert is live pictures from children's hospital where an infant is police say the child's mother after taking off with the child yesterday from pennsylvania. the pair was found just hours

5:11 am
get a lot of saturation. sometimes the slides don't happen on that first day. they happen later. we have to make sure they're safe before we let people on the highway. karen: there have been no reported deaths or serious injuries from the mud slides. back here is the cold. danielle: you may have felt it when you step outside the door today. tomorrow will be even worse. right now we're start inning the 30's and 40's out there. it will be in the 20's in a lot of spots tomorrow morning. difference in the air. the air temperature on the way down. that is the big impact over the weekend. temperatures yesterday starting at 61 degrees. that was your high which is right around where we should be. we're falling to 55 today and tomorrow we'll be in the upper 40's. all day long with the wind it's going to feel like the 30's out there so be aware of that. you're going to have to grab the winter gear for sure tomorrow. because of that, already a freeze warning in effect for all
5:12 am
the only reason northwestern massachusetts isn't in this is because their growing season is already done but i think this widespread freeze is really going to ruin everybody's growing season. really it should be coming around october 10-20. we're right on time through central mass, but we're a little early for boston in parts of the south shore as our average first frost date. it's coming in the way of a cold front. area of low pressure and theb this little disturbance to the north and west. all this is swinging through, through the day. and also triggering right now some snow showers through parts of maine as well as northern new hampshire. they could get a coating of snow before all is said and done. we are really dry right now. but we are going to leave in a chance for one to two hit-or-miss showers through the afternoon. as this energy kind of pin wheels through. this morning it will be a mix of sun and clouds but as we get towards lunchtime, we will see some sunshine. but watch what happens through the afternoon. notice a couple of these rain showers popping up on the map.
5:13 am
in our area. however, northern new england, it will be in the form of some cold. and then we'll start to clear out later on this evening. that will really allow those temperatures to drop. for today, we're going to warm up only in the low to mid 50's in boston. maybe a few upper 50's on the cape unfortunately you folks in worcester staying in the 40's. those winds will become gusty through the day at about 10-20 out of the west. for tonight, those winds then turn to the north and west. look at these overnight lows. in the 20's in concord. 27 worcester. 34 in boston although i think we could be near the freezing mark as well. the only exception is maybe the cape and the islands staying above the freezing mark. and then tomorrow these are the high temperatures in the upper 40's and even low 40's in worcester. it will be a mix of sun and clouds but you're really going to feel that wind. so here's that wind chill through the day tomorrow really staying in the 30's the entire day.
5:14 am
those winds will be very gusty so if you're headed outside for anything, you want to make sure you have the winter coat. you have the gloves, the scrarf. you guessed it. one thing happening this weekend is the head of the charles. if you are headed out there it will be a cool one. there could be a couple of spot showers around this afternoon. and then tomorrow there will be a lot more sunshine but temperatures really plummet. looks like a widespread freeze again on monday morning. and really cold on monday but then we rebound nicely back to 60 by tuesday. karen and frank. frank: thanks a lot, danielle. you know, freeze is not something i'm really ready to hear yet. danielle has to give us the forecast. time right now is 5:16. checking some of the other stories happening right now. karen: riding the "t" could soon cost you more. a fare hike is under consideration along with a possible spike in parking fees. the agency isn't getting into specifics yet on how much more you'd have to pay or when. other ideas to raise money include leasing property to
5:15 am
private developers and selling more ad space. the "t" hopes to raise another $40 million before fiscal year 2017. frank: six construction workers serious injuries from this scaffolding collapse. the mangled metal came crashing down along the new seven-story luxury apartment building trapping workers beneath it. rescuers pulled dozens from the rubble. right now everyone is accounted for. investigators are working to determine what caused the collapse. karen: there's good news for former n.b.a. star lamar odom. he's said to be conscious and communicating. a family spokesperson say odom gave a thumbs-up at a las vegas hospital friday and spoke briefly with estranged wife khloe kardashian. odom was in a coma after being found unconscious at a nevada brothel on tuesday. frank: the search for a new home may lead the paw sox to fall river. the head of the city's chamber of commerce says the organization has started "poking around" to see if there's interest in bringing the boston red sox triple-a affiliate to the city.
5:16 am
the team's new owners recently ended their pursuit of waterfront land in downtown providence for a new stadium. worcester and springfield have said they are exploring the possibility of landing the team. >> now sportscenter 5 with bob halloran. bob: well, a little luck for the colts, there will be a whole lot of luck for the colts on sunday night. the colts' owner, not a doctor, says unless there's a setback he expects andrew luck to start night. like that makes any difference. in the last four games against the patriots luck's colts have been outscored by 116 points. like the hor shoe on their helmet has been turned upsidedown. >> the last time it's a completely new team. we have a new team. it's just another part of the season where you continue to try
5:17 am

(screeching) mary gertner: i mean, it's a really horrible sound. we could live with that. it was really only the destruction that was the issue to us. mary: nancy gertner, a retired federal judge, has seen her share of tough cases, but dino the cockatoo has her stumped. mary gertner: apparently this is a bird that was loved by this family. so that's story number one. then there's the fact that the bird is not going to survive the
5:18 am
winter. that's story number two. god-awful screech, i could live with that. then the other question-- was it being destructive? mary: destructive, as in pecking huge holes in gertner's home but the birth place of robert f. kennedy, the home president john f. kennedy grew up in for six years. mary gertner: this bird chewed out a part of the woodwork, and there were squirrels going into it. mary: neighbors on abbottsville road and the bird's owner have tried for months to catch dino, lure him back into his cage; but this cockatoo who speaks only one word used it-- no. mary gertner: we had lots of people coming by, but no one has right now apparently she's still out there. mary: of course, the priority is to get this exotic bird into a warm, safe place before the freezing temperatures set in which doesn't give neighbors here much time. in brookline, i'm mary saladna, wcvb, newscenter 5.

frank: and this morning we are news. over. live pictures from children's receiving emergency treatment right now.. police say the child's mother tiffany cherry is in custody after taking off with the child yesterday from pennsylvania. the pair was found just hours ago in boston. more coming up after the break. >> this is an editorial by wcvb-tv channel 5 president and general manager bill fine. bill fine: boston's city councilors, without a raise since 2006, want a massive one. current laws allow the council themselves to recommend their own pay grade-- and they did, initially a boost of 29%. in a clever fashion, by potentially utilizing an anachronistic loophole, they found the path to a 14% raise by literally sitting on their hands or, to use a football metaphor, lining up in the v formation and letting the clock run out. how did they get there? a year ago, city council president bill linehan proposed increasing the councilors'
5:24 am
salary by $25,000 to just over $112,000 annually, citing their lack of a raise for almost a decade. after significant pushback, the council voted themselves a lower increase to $107,500. but boston mayor marty walsh vetoed that idea and proposed a $99,500 compromise instead. now, thanks to that quirk in city law, if the councilors do nothing, the mayor's pay raise proposal becomes law next month. that's one way to increase your take-home pay, but it's the wrong way. and the entire process needs to change, eliminating the obvious conflict of interest. the council should never again be asked to analyze their own salaries, but this one last time must go on the record and vote. their constituents deserve to know who says yes and who says no. and then those voters can decide if they are getting their money's worth the next time they go to the polls. doing nothing reinforces the public's decidedly negative perception of the games sometimes played by incumbent

5:41 am
i think in southern new hampshire. sunday and monday look dry. and tuesday night into wednesday is our next chance for some rain. and we really do need it because in boston we're down over 6.5 inches for the year, down almost an inch-and-a-half now for the month of october. so we're looking for a lot of the area actually under a moderate drought at this point. and so are we going to get some showers today? it's all in the way of this cold front afternoon this area of low pressure and trough. there will be swinging through and flinging some energy at us. needless to say, it will be sunny and then some clouds through the afternoon and maybe one or two showers. otherwise it's a mainly dry day for all of us but it's much much cooler. as you look right now some showers firing up especially up in northern new england and notice how they're starting to there. that is some snow showers as temperatures are cool enough to support it. so as we go through the day today, here's what happens on the future cast.

5:43 am
and because of this, we have freeze warnings already up for all the areas you see in blue until 9:00 tomorrow morning. you want to make sure you bring the plants inside before you go to bed tonight or make sure you cover them because they can be killed by the frost and freeze. then tomorrow temperatures warm up but only in the low to mid 40's. and notice this is the projected wind chills at 7:00 tomorrow. feeling more like 23 in worcester. feeling more like 26 in boston. by afternoon only feeling like the mid to upper 30's. even though air temperaturewise we'll be in the 40's, it will feel like the 30's meaning you should definitely grab the jacket. you're going to need it through the day and for the kiddos heading back to school on monday morning, look at how it will feel at the bus stop. temperatures in the 20's or at least feeling like that with the wind chill. we are cold both sunday and monday. we start to finally moderate on tuesday. temperatures warming into the 60's much it's all due to the jetstream finally lifting back
