do all too much in mexico. it keeps on churning. danielle: it keeps on churning and gets closer and merges with another system that was already over texas giving them a ton of rain. it really blossomed over texas. unfortunately that's all headed in our direction. but we do need the rain. it's just going to come a little bit later this week. we're going to show you right now if we can what's going on. the remnants of patricia down to the south you can see dallas texas still, you know, dealing with the rain at this point. but we're also watching that cold front up to the north. that cold front up to the north is giving rain to parts of northern new england. and i want to show you what is going on too as zoom you in. a couple showers are pushing through parts of worcester county as well as out towards southern new hampshire. you can see this right now. and all of this is shifting to the east. so everybody is going to see some light showers this morning. you can see the heavier rain back through, say, keene down to greenfield. another good downpour just moving in to worcester area right now and all of this

so as we go through the day today, this morning, we are going to see a high impact for some rain. we turn dry both monday and tuesday. and then wednesday afternoon, into thursday is when we get those remnants of patricia so the chance of rain goes up. it becomes very high and it looks like it's a wind-swept rain with even the potential for some thunderstorms but for today it's all about some light showers pushing through the region. there could be pockets of some downpours, say, through worcester around 8:00. and the north shore. once we get past 10:30 though, notice worcester is already starting to dry out. boston, south shore, cape getting in on some of this rain and then by 12:00, 1:00, we have a lot of clouds around but really no showers which means if you're headed down to gillette for the patriots game, it looks pretty good. we'll see even some breaks of sunshine, i think, by the later half of the day and then this evening we start to really clear out the skies. we have had some rainfall totals.

an inch has fallen in pittsfield, two tenths or two 100ths of an inch of rain has fallen in orange. we could really use the rain. boston down almost eight inches for the year down almost two-and-a-half for the month of october. we are really welcoming in this rain. it is in the form of rain because temperatures are so mild this morning, in the 40's as well as low 50's in boston. mid 50's already on the vineyard and for today we're going to warm up into the low to mid 60's to the west. that is a warming wind. however, tonight they start to turn out of the north and west. temperatures drop back into the 30's in most locations so for tomorrow morning as the kids go have the coat. they're going to need it at the bus stop. and then tomorrow's high temperature is only warming into the low 50's but we are looking for lots of sunshine as high pressure regains control. you can see this here on the high pressure bringing in cool we're watching the recommend nans of patricia. they start to spread up towards

by tuesday night they're getting closer to us but really don't wednesday. that is when we could see an inch to maybe two inches of rain between wednesday and thursday from this system. however, i do want to remind you that the pats do have a game on thursday as well. it looks like that thursday night game should be okay. things should be ending at that point. if you're going down early to tailgate though, there could still be a couple of showers around but i think during the out. it's also pretty mild and then temperatures start to fall behind this frontal system into the 50's and 40's and 30's for overnight lows. frank and antoinette. stories we're following right now on the eyeopener. the child whose remains sparked identity will be remembered today. frank: the man who claims to be there will be an all day vigil for her on deer island. that's where the two-year-old's body was found in june. she was known as "baby doe" for months afterward as police searched for her name.

brian's been clean for more than two years. brian: if doing this helps another veteran who is sitting there with shame and guilt and anger at himself and saying like, "i'm not going to tell people i have a problem because i'm supposed to be america's best," that's all i want. kathy: another reason why brian is speaking out and telling his story is because he's lost so many friends to this epidemic including the brother who saved his life. kathy curran, wcvb, newscenter >> now your storm team 5 forecast with meterologist danielle vollmar. danielle: starting out today with a little rain in the forecast. it will end though by afternoon. and then we'll see breaks of sunshine. we're dry both monday and tuesday but then the rain chances go back up wednesday afternoon through thursday. that's actually the remnant of patricia which right now provides very heavy rain from dallas to houston back through louisiana, arkansas, and all of this is going to lift north. but first we're talking about a

cold front that is crossing our region right now triggering some light showers this morning. you can see them on our radar from basically manchester back through worcester county now and back through western mass towards hartford, connecticut. and some of these have some heavier downpours especially the farther west you go. say, around keene to greenfield. a good shower here around pittsfield. and now these showers are starting to make it inside of 495 so, worcester, you're seeing a pretty good downpour. i heard it's also raining in milbury. thank you, kevin, for sending me that on twitter. as we go through the next couple of hours, here's what happens. all these showers shift to the east. so boston parts of southern new hampshire, the seacoast, that is, up through southern maine, you get in on the action by about 8:00. by about 11:00 it's shifting south ward so the south shore, the cape and the islands picking up some showers. then by about lunchtime or 1:00, things start to dry up. now, we keep the clouds a little bit longer, i think. i think we see a little bit of

breaks in the cloud deck by about late afternoon. we'll see some breaks of sunshine and then tonight we really begin to clear out. so if you are headed down to gillette for the football game, it looks pretty good except for if you're tailgating early, you might get a little wet. in terms of how much rain we picked up. only 2/100ths of an inch in orange. three 3/10ths of an inch in western mass where they've been under heavier bands. as we go through the day, we turn mild today. then we cool down on monday. but we're full of sunshine, should i say. then heavy rain is going to come in the forecast wednesday through thursday from patricia. now today, it's all about the mild temperatures. we're in the upper 40's in worcester, low 50's boston. mid 50's already on the vineyard and nantucket. as we go through the afternoon with the south to west wind, temperatures should respond and warm into the low to even mid 60's in boston. the only exception really i think is worcester county of. maybe staying in the upper 50's. tonight the skies clear out. the winds turn to the north and west. become lighter in nature.

and temperatures start to drop into the low 30's so for the kids heading out to the bus stop tomorrow, for you heading back to work, grab a coat. then tomorrow's high temperatures falling back into the low 50's with sunshine. it's all due to high pressure. the winds around it clockwise. so we have a northwest wind tomorrow and then we watch these remnants get closer to us as we get towards tuesday late afternoon. still though seeing lots of sunshine on tuesday. really the rain doesn't move in the forecast until we get towards wednesday. so let me show you that on the future cast as we get towards tuesday into wednesday, you see the rain bands coming on in. and by wednesday night, they are here and some of them could be heavy at times. in fact, we could see an inch to two inches of rain and the winds are really going to pick up. you're going to feel them bull it's a mild wind so temperaturewise, we warm up into the mid 60's on thursday with a wind-swept rain. and then we turn sunny but cooler as we head towards halloween weekend. antoinette and frank.

other headlines we're tracking the catholic church could become more welcoming toward divorced and remarried members of the frank: a three-week-long meeting of bishops in vatican city ended somewhat divisively. but it did not rule out future change to rules regarding who can receive communion. the meeting did not address whether the church will be more welcoming of gay people. antoinette: secretary of state john kerry says steps are being taken to ease tensions in jerusalem. he says israel and jordan have agreed on steps-- including video monitoring-- at a holy site. jews call that site the temple on the mount; muslims call it haram al-sharif. problems at the site have fanned israeli-palestinian violence. good news for "back to the future" buffs. you'll soon have another chance to get your hands on some pepsi perfect. pepsi announced it would sell the soda on october 21, 2015-- the same day marty mcfly ordered the drink in "back to the future 2." but a glitch made the limited

and tuesday. antoinette and frank. antoinette: danielle, thank you. it's cranberry season in massachusetts. and getting those berries from bogs to buyers is not as simple as it looks. frank: chronicle's anthony everett got the lowdown from bluewater farms in west wareham. anthony: they are often called rubies in the sand. cranberries have long been a massachusetts industry. the state's 14,000-plus acres of working bogs produce a crop that is the second largest in the country. >> cranberries are only one of three native american fruits. the oldest part of the industry is right here in massachusetts. it goes back 150 years. it's one of the oldest continuing industries in massachusetts. anthony: though often associated with cape cod, cranberry country starts west of the canal. in wareham, one of the oldest and the largest companies exists but a new kid on the block is making quite a splash.

we pack and ship our own cranberries as fresh fruit in the fall. we also produce a line of cold pressed cranberry juices. reporter: craig can non-is a second generation cranberry grower who started blue water farms in west wareham in 2014. this year he started a line of all natural cranberry juices. >> what we do is we do a cold press process. we always use cane sugar. we don't use corn syrup or artificial sweeteners. anthony: on his 50 acres he maintains wet and dry bogs. most growers flood their bogs to harvest the berries but he also uses dry picking. >> we have small machines that you walk behind and actually combs the fruit out of the vines. it goes up the conveyer into a bag. from the bag we load it into bins. each bin weighs about 300 pounds. from there they use fly from on helicopter and right on to the trailer. anthony: when the berries get to the plants they go through a multistep process. >> first it goes through the

from there it takes care of all the small fruit and any small pebbles. it goes through the bounce conveyer. good, ripe, solid fruit bounces much like a tennis ball. anthony: blue water bags its dry harvest berries. their traditional wet beds are used to make six flavors of juice. >> we'd like to continue to expand our footprint across new england and then throughout the northeast. antoinette: tomorrow on "chronicle," j.c. was told she was off to paris, moscow, and mexico. what was left out? the part about maine. but she discovered you can travel the world without leaving the pine tree state. plus how "alcohol mary road" got its name. traveling in weird maine tomorrow at 7:30 on "chronicle." on the way this morning, a prestigious honor for one popular late night host. frank: the royal treatment jimmy fallon got last night at harvard. a dreadful experience for some but big changes could be in the works at the r.m.v. the plans to speed up service. we'll be right
