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. we're lucky we're not dealing with that. danielle: but we have our own news. news flash. it's getting cold outside. it will feel more like the middle of december than the middle of october this weekend. i would dig out the winter coat. i tried to find mine yesterday. you put away in the box for the summer. you have to pull it back out for this weekend. temperatures are dropping. yesterday's high in boston was 61 degrees. in worcester it was 57. now by sunday, we're at 46 in boston and in worcester 43 degrees so that's when a 15-degree temperature drop for the high temperature. overnight lows are dropping in the 30's and 20's. and this morning is no exception. starting at 35 on the vineyard. 44 on nantucket. 48 degrees in boston. 36 in keene. 34 in concord. and even 23 on mt. washington. they're actually seeing some snow showers up there right now. now the winds are going to pick up. you're going to feel them today.

take a look. they blow out of the west at about 10-20 miles an hour sustained. gusts to about 30. we are going to see a lot of sunshine, i think, to start the day but some afternoon clouds. there could be one or two hit-or-miss showers out there as well including interior especially and southern new hampshire. so high temperatures, 48 degrees in worcester. 534 boston. upper 50's on the cape as well as the islands. those winds very blustery today. also for tomorrow. it's all by way of this cold front right now. this is actually helling to trigger some showers and some snow showers up through northern new england. it's ushering in the coldest air we've seen thus far this season. pretty quiet around us. but there hasn't been one shower that has popped up over the vineyard. pretty impress i have been here. yellows and reds in there. pretty heavy rain moving over you folks right now. if this holds together, it will to sea.

going to happen through the day. clear things out. we should see some sunshine. by 1:00 or 2:00 a couple of these showers popping up in vermont, new hampshire. some of them may make their way down into central massachusetts. again, really just hit or miss. most of us today will stay dry. and the big component will be the winds blowing out of the west at about 10-20. tonight temperatures drop into the 20's and low 30's. and that means that we are expecting a widespread hard freeze and a freeze warning in effect for this area you see in blue. this should officially end our growing season. northwestern massachusetts already officially ended their growing season but this is the night for us to do that here. and so if you have any plants that are potted, bring them inside or cover them, remember, the freeze will kill them. temperatures tomorrow only warming up into the low to mid 40's. with the wind feeling more like it's windy. it's cold all through the day of sunday.

it continues to be like that as we head towards monday but the winds finally subside just a touch. it still stays cold on monday. then we start to moderate as we get towards tuesday and even wednesday. i want to show you this because this is something to look forward to because i know i'm talking about how cold it will be, but by midweek next week we're talking temperatures upper 50's, low to mid 60's. those winds shift to go the south and west. we'll see more sunshine. we just have to get through sunday really and monday. we turn milder by midweek. karen and frank. frank: thanks a lot, danielle. you see how she had to end things on the positive note, like 60 degrees. i'm going to act like i didn't hear the beginning of that forecast. just focus on the 6 0s. moving on. time right now is 6:17. 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

night. the colts' owner, not a doctor, says unless there's a setback, he expects andrew luck to start against the patriots tomorrow 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 horseshoe on their helmet has been turned upsidedown. >> from 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 to improve. >> both teams-- building up and practice, going out to practice, working hard, competing with your teammates, going out and making sure you're doing the little things right during the week. you prepare and be ready to go on sundays. bob: in preseason action last night at madison square garden, 101-95. that's a look at sports. have a great day. frank: a cockatoo is ruffling some feathers in a brookline

(screeching) 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. bird is not going to survive the winter. that's story number two. the fact that it makes a god-awful screech, i could live then the other question-- was it being destructive? mary: destructive, as in pecking huge holes in gertner's brookline home and not just any 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 figured out how to catch it. 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 very much time. in brookline, i'm mary saladna, wcvb, newscenter 5. frank: a scary encounter for a rhode island man attacked by a shark. karen: he's now talking about the scare who he says saved his life. frank: a live look right now at our city cam. it's 42 degrees outside. a chilly start to our day. disan dna has word of a warm-up coming up next week.

into the upper 40's in worcester, lower 50's in boston and upper 50's on the cape. so it's much cooler than yesterday. remember yesterday we were in the low 60's in boston. that's where we should be for this time of year. and then tonight look at the way the temperatures drop into the 20's through the merrimack valley. 20's in the worcester hills. low 30's in boston and because of this, a freeze warning has already been issued for this area you see in blue. this is is going to probably officially end the growing season. the only reason worcester county, parts of it at least, in northwestern massachusetts is not in this is because their growing season has already officially ended. so bring the plants inside. remember that freeze will kill them. and then tomorrow temperatures only climb into the low to mid 40's. with that wind out of the north and west at about 10-20, it's going to feel more like the 30's throughout the day. that's that wind chill value which is what you dress for. yes, i'm talking about wind

chill values unfortunately. so the strong winds coming in through the day of sunday. they will back down for monday but the cold air sticks around on monday. and then we finally start to warm things up as we head towards midweek next week. you can thank the jetstream for that. in fact, the jetstream will lift up to the north. as it does, it's going to take that cold air and push it right back into canada where it belongs for this time of year. so we moderate back into the low 60's on tuesday. and wednesday. that's where we should be. so we just have to get through this weekend. things look brighter and better on the better side of the week. frank and karen. karen: thanks, danielle. this is the rematch we have been waiting for, for a years. the patriots-colts rivalry is heating up in ovens all over indianapolis. frank: all right. get ready to toss your cookies. that's a pun. just so you know. an indianapolis bakery is going after the toughest cookie of them all-- tom brady. their cookie monster, so to speak, is the unflattering courtroom sketch. hope it tastes better than it looks. they've also got a broken cell phone. looks like that cookie already

crumbled. but the best one is the "deflate-cake." it would be better if it was a deflate-gate cake. the "deflate-cake." gotta give it to' em. that's pretty good. even though i'm not happy with the name. now, after the colts put up a doughnut on sunday, let's see if they start selling the "boston creamed you" pies. and then there is this. it's the colt cream puff because they are lightweights-- soft on the inside, fun to devour, first you beat the eggs, then you beat the colts. it's a piece of cake. a lot going on there. karen: that's the one i like. coming up, nearly 20 years ago former boston university terrier travis roy's life changed. his hockey career ended just 11 seconds after it started. frank: bob halloran with how the lessons learned playing hockey have helped him help so many others with spinal chord injuries. travis roy: it challenges me. i thought i was tough. bob: yes, travis thought he was

tough. and learned he's a lot tougher. travis: i didn't think i could live this kind of life. one of the things i learned is i do believe all of us out there are capable of doing things that we couldn't have imagined. bob: when he was 20 years old travis imagined himself playing in the nhl and believed he had the skill to get there. he never imagined raising millions of dollars and helping thousands of people. travis: it's not easy but there's been a lot of value to it. a lot of meaning. 20 years later, i'm proud of what we've all done. bob: travis doesn't expect to ever walk again. he is still struck by waves of sadness, but there is an ocean of happiness in his life these days thanks to his love of family, friends, food, and of course hockey. travis: i love this sport. i had a love for the game of hockey. and i am still broken hearted.

i mean, i miss it. i miss it a lot. frank: a night for travis roy honoring the man and his foundation. a special event at agganis arena tuesday night. one night $1 million raised. that's the goal. head to travis roy foundation dot-org if you'd like to help. we are following breaking news overnight. karen: an amber alert ends safely. an infant is in the hospital; his mother in police custody. an alert staffer at children's hospital managed to put the pieces together and notify police.
