frank: it is 6:13. welcome back. hurricane patricia could have been much worse. some people in mexico are cleaning up from the category 5 storm right now. but there are no reports of deaths or injuries. patricia came ashore on a sparsely populated stretch of coast largely sparing mexico any serious damage. antoinette: in texas the remnants of hurricane patricia are adding to a flooding crisis. some areas are seeing nearly a foot of rain, and it's expected to keep coming down through noon today. the conditions are so bad that a freight train was derailed when flood waters washed away the tracks. people in houston were also warned about the potential for isolated tornadoes. frank: a lot of severe weather down there. people in texas are not getting a break. danielle: they've been seeing the rain since friday. i actually left from texas on friday. i'm glad i did make it back before everything hit because they picked up over 18 inches of rain in parts of southern dallas, texas. that's a lot. and all that is is combining now with the remnants of patricia. all that is actually headed in our direction but it's going to

take its time getting here. as of right now, you're wondering, well, where is that rain coming from? well, it's from a cold front out to the north and west of us right now. it's going to move across our state through the morning hours. which means rain showers this morning turning to breaks of sun by the end of the day today. in fact, here are these showers right now. most of them very light in nature but i do want to take you to a couple of them. they have now pushed inside of 495 moving towards 95 so from billerica down to lincoln, framingham, hudson, you're in on a couple of these showers. heavier showers nearly minister. no lightning associated with these. then there's heavier showers back through western mass as well as out towards southwest new hampshire. rainfall rates in excess of about a quarter of an inch an hour. in terms of what's going to happen through the morning hours, once we get towards 9:00, notice western mass starting to already dry out. worcester getting in on the rain. boston, north shore, south shore beginning to see that.

and it continues to linger until about 11:00 especially boston, south shore and the cape. out. as we get towards 1:00 or 2:00, we start to see even breaks in the cloud deck which means we will see some breaks of sunshine. in we see more breaks of sunshine, i think temperatures could warm up a little bit more through the afternoon. all in all it doesn't look like a bad day. we just have to get through the morning showers. we really do need the rain. already picking up 3/100ths of an inch of rain in worcester. now near 4/10ths of an inch in pittsfield where we've had the heavier downpours. remember a lot of our area under a moderate drought. you can see that tan color. boston down almost eight inches for the year. worcester down just about 7.5 inches so we are going to welcome the rain and then we turn milder today. it's cooler but sunny on monday and tuesday. and then the heavy rain from patricia coming in wednesday afternoon through about thursday. right now, upper 40's in worcester. low 50's boston.

upper 50's on nantucket. so temperatures are already on the milder side. remember yesterday morning we started in the 20's and 30's. and so for today again, with some breaks of sun, i think we could warm up even into the mid 60's along parts of the south shore, the cape as well as boston. the only exception may be worcester staying in the upper 50's. and then tonight as the skies really begin to clear out, temperatures are going to drop back into the lower 30's so starting out the day tomorrow, grab ra coat. you will need it. and high temperatures tomorrow with a northwest wind only warming into the low 50's. we watch the remnants of patricia knock on our doorstep. it will take its time getting here. we're dry both monday and tuesday. it's on wednesday that we watch this. the morning i think is actually dry. it's afternoon into the evening, unfortunately, that ride home from work on wednesday could be a wet one. it's going to con to be wet even on thursday morning. and then we finally start to dry out by thursday night. we turn colder as we head

towards next weekend and still windy for that upcoming halloween weekend. frank and antoinette. antoinette: danielle, thank you. it's 6:17. stories we're following right the child whose remains sparked a nationwide search for her identity will be remembered today. frank: the man who claims to be bella bond's father tells us 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 true identity. her mother and mother's boyfriend are charged in her death. the boston teachers union approves of the obama administration's new take on standarized testing. "the globe" reports it's happy with the plan, urging congress to limit the amount of time students spend on testing to 2% of their total time in school. the announcement was accompanied by survey results showing students take eight standardized tests a year on average. antoinette: think about this as you make your breakfast this morning-- kelloggs is coming out with five new pop tart flavors. they are

frosted watermelon, frosted chocolatey caramel, pink lemonade, and frosted spring strawberry. some flavors roll out in december, but you'll have to wait til next year for all of them to hit the shelves. >> now sportscenter 5 with bob halloran. bob: tom brady has won 165 of 214 regular season nfl games. 123 of 160 games against the afc. 67 of 81 games against the afc east. those numbers tell you two things. tom brady is old and really, really good. he's also 20-6 against the jets with two of those losses coming at home. tom brady: we had a lot of great games against them, meaningful you know, they're very similar to us in a lot of ways. they're a big, tough, physical team. you know, you play in these elements and i think there's a lot of characteristics that

makes them tough to beat. bob: boston college at louisville yesterday. b.c.'s offense still struggling mightily. the cardinals runningback strips for a 46-yard touchdown. they go on to beat the eagles 17-14. harvard crimson home against clemson. two touchdowns. a career-high 437 yards passing. harvard wins its 20th game in a row 42-7. patriot highlights and post-game reaction tonight on newscenter 5 at 6:00, 11:00 and on sportscenter 5 o.t. that's sports for this morning. have a great day. antoinette: a health alert for veterans this morning. one of the biggest challenges facing them is ptsd. but there are many programs to help in the bay state with brand new research focused on the brain. newscenter 5's emily riemer takes us inside the lab focused on finding new treatment. emily: inside this unassuming lab at the bedford v.a. facility, dr. ann mckee and her team are looking for clues. they're examining hundreds of brain samples donated by

patients diagnosed with ptsd. dr. ann mckee: we've always made brains that look normal microscopically, that don't have any damage or lesions. sure because no one has ever this brain bank dedicated to the study of ptsd is the first of its kind. technicians are looking for brain disorders hoping to find better treatments. treatments that reduce inflammation, certain treatments that heal blood vessels. if any of these structures are going haywire, then we can focus our treatment on those things. emily: it will take time but for those suffering now, there are therapies that can help. gene stein launched "guitars for vets" in 2013 at the brockton v.a. teaching veterans diagnosed with ptsd how to play and, by playing, to heal. gene stein: you're not thinking about your problems. you're thinking about, "how do i play this e chord?" or "how do i not have my pick hit the wrong that can be a huge release for a veteran. i mean, it could be the difference between a good day and a bad day.

hatley know about bad days. the navy reservist was diagnosed with ptsd in 1991, the result of a childhood trauma, and he struggled with depression and drugs. will hatley: i was homeless for a while. i walked the streets. i would do things and i was living to get that next high. emily: the diagnosis ultimately led him to treatment at the bedford v.a. through art work he manages his symptoms and now works as a veteran peer specialist counseling others struggling as he once did. will hatley: this is something that i began to instill in myself-- that i am a masterpiece. i do have something to share with other people. emily: all three of them looking towards the day when medicine may have the answers. emily riemer, wcvb, newscenter 5. antoinette: on the way this morning, it's like a scene straight out of a halloween horror flick. frank: hundreds of zombies hit the streets of boston. the important cause they were promoting. and a live look at the city of boston right now.

danielle: welcome back. i'm meteorologist danielle vollmar. we have some showers pushing through our region right now moving into metro west at this point. worcester county picking up downpours. western mass beginning to dry out especially northwestern mass. all this is shifting to the

east. as we go through the morning hours, expect showers to be around, but by lunchtime, we're starting to dry out. a little bit. we're warmer with more sunshine by about 4:00. so if you are headed down, it looks pretty good. temperaturewise in the low 60's to kick off. we should see some sunshine i think through the later half of the game. antoinette and frank. antoinette: danielle, thank you. it's like another tv show. hundreds of zombies invading the streets of boston. frank: it was all part of yesterday's 10th annual zombie march. take a look. participants made their way from south station to government center. they followed three rules along the way-- no physical contact with spectators, no scaring children, and no fake blood smeared on storefronts. this year's march promoted awareness for extra life, an online campaign to raise money for kids in hospitals. antoinette: they're taking it pretty seriously. a fake brain he was eating. frank: coming up this morning, two methuen middle schoolers accused of making violent

it's intelligent enough to warn of danger from virtually anywhere. it's been smashed, dropped and driven. it's perceptive enough to detect other vehicles on the road. it's been shaken, rattled and pummeled. it's innovative enough to brake

by itself, park itself and help you steer. it's been in the rain... the cold... and dragged through the mud. introducing the all-new mercedes-benz gle. it's where brains meet brawn. dear fellow citizen, pi get that it' s hard to say no pwhen your kids want toys, p because you' re saving for shoes. t and shoes. and shoes. p but i can help you figure out how to save a little with one deposit checking. r so ask me, i can help you avoid fees. psincerely, elizabeth trackler.

they should clear out by about lunchtime. it's not a washout of a day just so you know. i want to show you where heavier downpours are. you can see now the showers have gone as far east now as newburyport, getting close to gloucester, cape ann and closing in on boston now. metro west seeing some showers. heavier downpours through leominster, back through worcester. and then even heavier showers out just west of i91. you can see rainfall rates almost at 4/10ths of an inch per hour. that's all shifting to the east. it's associated with a cold front. this cold front isoing to sweep through very quickly so after lunchtime, we should start to see some breaks in the cloud deck especially during, say, 4:00 to 6:00. but by lunchtime, we're already drying out. notice the temperatures in boston. warming up into the low to even mid 60's in a lot of spots. so it's a milder day than yesterday. a little more sunshine, i think, than yesterday too. at least by the end of the day. again we're talking highs

anywhere from 58 to 66 degrees. now high pressure then is going to build in behind it. and then we're watching heavy rain from the remnants of patricia. this system is headed in our direction so i'll let you know the timing on the showers for our area ahead. antoinette and frank. frank: thanks a lot, danielle. top stories we're following right now on the eyeopener. antoinette: a woman accused of murdering her uncle will be in court tomorrow. the deadly shooting happened yesterday afternoon on wood avenue in hyde park. the suspect, yvonne lewis, was arrested in peabody. lewis is a former civilian employee of the boston police department. frank: federal investigators will be at worcester airport today. they want to know what caused a single-engine plane to crash there yesterday. the pilot, gary weller of connecticut, was killed. antoinette: police suspect drunk driving in a deadly crash at oklahoma state's homecoming parade. three adults and a two-year-old were killed when a car plowed into the crowd.

d.u.i. charge. remnants of the once powerful hurricane patricia still causing issues in parts of texas. flooding from the storm even and the rain isn't over yet. heavy rain sent flood waters flowing across much of texas this weekend. homes and farms swamped by the rising tide which took out roads and highways leaving water-logged cars barely visible. >> all the roads are washed out. antoinette: this funnel cloud spotted in harris county. strong winds taking a heavy toll on buildings, tearing down fences, tearing up roofs, and showering streets with debris. >> like the whole house just started to shake. i looked out the window. all you saw was a whirlwind of trash. antoinette: and this was the view on galveston beach as storm clouds gathered. this train carrying cement derailed when it hit partially submerged tracks south of dallas. and in texas, more than 16

inches of rain trapped residents in their homes, stranded drivers, and shut down interstate highways for miles. though hurricane patricia hit mexico as a massive category 5 storm, it apparently left little damage. now a much tamer tropical depression, precipitation from the storm is moving through texas, and more rain is on the way prompting houston's mayor to plead for caution. >> all of our first responders on notice that they may have to deploy. antoinette: as southeast texas braces for more rain, voluntary evacuation orders have been ordered in some areas. students are facing serious accusations in methuen. they're accused of making violent threats against their the arrests come just days after a similar case at the high tiffany simmons: kind of scary. frank: methuen high senior incidents where students who are accused of plotting school violence have her worried. tiffany: my friends have been talking about it.

"do you know anything?" or "are you feeling in fear? "if you are, let's talk about those fears." andy petisoe: it's a concern. three, says he's already opened a dialogue with his kids. andy: they realize the severity of it. it's not a joke. tiffany: i didn't really think it would happen to methuen.

i know there's been scares and stuff, but two in one week is like scary. frank: the mayor and police chief hope to begin those assemblies with students and parents next month. antoinette: in commitment 2016, there are 99 days left before the iowa caucuses. and the three remaining democrats in the running for president were in the hawkeye state yesterday to rally supporters. former president bill clinton introduced singer katy perry who treated hillary clinton supporters to a free concert. she played on a song lyric to pump up the crowd. clinton: you just have to roar about what you need to fight for. antoinette: afterward, clinton, bernie sanders, and martin o'malley attended the democratic party's annual fundraising jefferson-jackson dinner. frank: new hampshire's annual pumpkin festival has a new home in a new city.

>> it is such a team game. it's not just about one individual player. it's about the offense as a whole. you see the receivers out there. they're making great plays. the runningbacks. everyone just works together as a team. when we get that win, everyone works together to do their job and everything is all good. antoinette: kickoff is at 1:00 at gilette. frank: that will be a good one. antoinette: can't wait. frank: coming up this morning, leaders of the roman catholic church holding a major summit. antoinette: the possible policy changes that may be in store for certain church members. >> i was 100% a danger to everybody around me. antoinette: 5 on the opioid crisis. a veteran speaks candidly about his own drug addiction while serving his country in the iraq war. just how widespread he says the problem is in the active duty

this flu season... remember this. your immune system doesn't work the way it did when rock was young. so we made fluzone high-dose vaccine... for people 65+. with a high high higher dose of antigen... it's significantly more effective than fluzone vaccine in preventing flu. fluzone high-dose vaccine is approved for people 65 and older. it's not for anyone who's had a

component, including eggs, egg products, or to a prior dose of any flu vaccine. tell your doctor if you've ever had guillain-barr\ syndrome. side effects include pain swelling and redness at the injection site; muscle aches, fatigue, headache and fever. other side effects may occur. if you have other symptoms or problems following vaccination, call your doctor immediately. vaccination may not protect everyone. so, if you hopped around the clock, ask your doctor or pharmacist about fluzone high-dose.

antoinette: 5 on the opioid crisis. he was addicted to opiods, armed, and on active duty. this morning, one soldier's story. frank: newscenter 5's kathy curran has more on his daily struggle with heroin and other drugs and his ongoing battle against addiction. brian: i was 100% a danger to everybody and everything around me.

kathy: armed with an m4 assault rifle patrolling the streets of baghdad during the surge in the iraq war and high on opioids on active duty. brian: pain killers. morphine. heroin. any opiate substance i could get my hands on, i would use it. kathy: brian tivnan, once proud to wear his country's uniform as a staff sergeant in the united states army, became ashamed of the soldier he had become. brian: absolutely. that's guilt and shame that i'll live with for the rest of my life, but today i can't allow it to consume me. i look back now and i say, how could i have been so irresponsible? i had multiple people that i was in charge of, took their lives in my hands daily, and i was a complete nightmare. complete mess. kathy: brian has battled addiction for much of his life. in 2007 when his national guard regiment was sent to iraq, he found when it came to being addicted to drugs on active duty, he wasn't alone.

brian: it's a lot bigger than you don't want to feel fear all day long. you don't want to be depressed all day long so if you find a substance or a way to take all that away, it just makes it that much easier to do. kathy: when brian returned home from his deployment, his addiction spiraled out of control. he hit rock bottom and was sleeping here on the greenway in boston at night. he was in and out of treatment dozens of times and even had to be revived with narcan twice. brian: i was in a basement of a house and the last thing i really remember was i remember getting high, taking a few steps forward, and there was a flat screen tv that i fell head first through. and i remember coming to with my brother kneeling on my chest. he had just given me narcan, and he was screaming my name. kathy: now brian tivnan spends his spare time spreading the word about narcan and telling his story of his daily battle with addiction.

from death back to life. kathy: he speaks with addicts, some who are veterans. 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 5. forecast with meterologist danielle vollmar. danielle: most of us waking up to some rain this morning but it not a washout today. showers should be tapering off by about lunchtime or so. then we're dry both monday, tuesday, rain chances on the way up though by wednesday afternoon. that's all because of the lem nants of patricia looking at the potential for some heavy rain thursday.

right now the showers we're seeing this morning associated with a cold front that's headed through our region. you can see the showers now making their way closer to shore. or excuse me the north shore, near danvers, newburyport, salem, new hampshire, seeing it. woburn, too. gloucester, you're up next for some of these showers and heavier showers down to the south through worcester county near south bridge. framingham getting in on i. brockton, taunton, you're coming close to getting some of these. the heaviest downpars back out towards western mass to amherst to springfield and all of this is moving to the east. so as we go through the next couple of hours, here's what happens on the future cast. by 9:00, we're starting to already dry out, out in western massachusetts. by 11:00, pretty much worcester county, even metro west drying out. only the north shore, boston, south shore, cape, still seeing a couple of lingering showers. and by 1:00, things look pretty

much dry and already seeing some breaks in the cloud deck. that means if you're headed to good. the only exception is this. you're going to tailgate this morning, i would definitely case. and by 6:00, we're really starting to clear things out. that's the trend as we head tomorrow. lots of sunshine for tomorrow. and we've only seen 3/100ths of an inch that has fallen in worcester. 4/10ths of an inch in western mass where they've been under those heavier downpours. as you look over boston right now, we do have cloudy skies. 51 degrees. the winds are out of the south right now at about 10. and they will shift to the west today, but that is a mild wind. so for today, temperatures 60's. the only exception worcester i think staying in the upper 50's. now tonight the winds shift to the north and west. we clear things out. temperatures drop into the 30's. so tomorrow morning, you're going to need the coat again. through the day, we only warm up tomorrow even with a lot of sunshine into the low 50's

because those winds are out of the north and west due to high pressure. high pressure keeps us dry not only for monday but also into tuesday. and then we watch these remnants of patricia get closer to us by tuesday night. and weds we really afternoon i think is when the rain is going to start up and continue into thursday. in fact, let me time that rain out for you. notice by 8:00 starting to see the clouds not necessarily the showers. showers pushing in though by your ride home from work, heavier downpours likely. maybe even an embedded thunderstorm. thursday morning still a lot of heavy rain around. it lingers through the afternoon before clearing out. by the evening hours. remember, we do have thursday night football too here. it looks pretty good for that. behind this system though, temperatures drop into the 50's over next weekend. frank and antoinette. frank: thanks a lot, danielle. for high 5 this week we head out on route 16 and pull into holliston high school where the football team is headed to the playoffs once again. antoinette: this is a program that always aims for excellence, and according to sportscenter

succeed. mike: they have once again rebuilt and re-tooled. panthers are defending super bowl champs. decimated by graduation, they are back in the hunt once again coach: we're just very fortunate to have great kids come through here. that's what it's all about. it's the jimmy's and joe's not the x's and o's, as us coaches say. mike: you lost a lot of kids to graduation. back that you could fill all their shoes? matt: absolutely not. i knew we had it in us. i knew we had plenty of kids on this team that could step up, just didn't have a chance yet. i knew this year that they were going to step in and take control of the team. >> good job! clinched the tri valley league

championship. and they have nine-- that's right, nine-- super bowl wins in school history. winning is a tradition, and winning is expected. is pressure to win a good thing? does it motivate you or is it too much pressure? andrew: no, it absolutely motivates us. i think this team came together because of all the pressure that was on us from last year. i think with everybody doubting us and everybody saying we weren't going to return and we weren't going to be the team that we were last year, i think it only gave us more motivation to win and prove everybody wrong. player: every year we all meet up and write out three goals for the team. and the first one for each year to win the t.v.l. mike: the second one is? player: i think my second one was undefeated. you can still win the t.v.l. and not be undefeated, but i wanted to prove people who doubted us wrong so that was my second goal. the third was gillette. mike: the town stands still when holliston plays. their fans label themselves the "red sea."

simple and hardly complicated. we practice every day as hard as we can. we win the games during the mike: as a coach in foxboro would say, the price for success is always paid in advance. we salute the holliston high school panthers as this week's-- team: high 5! antoinette: very energetic high 5. we like that. frank: a big play-off game coming up on friday. we wish them the best of luck. frank: still ahead this morning, a deadly shooting in hyde park. the suspect now at the center of a murder investigation and how

antoinette: 6:54. headlines we're following right now on the eyeopener. a woman accused of murdering her uncle will be in court tomorrow. the deadly shooting happened yesterday afternoon on wood avenue in hyde park. the suspect, yvonne lewis, was arrested in peabody. lewis is a former civilian employee of the boston police department. she was not an officer. frank: federal investigators will be at the worcester airport today. they want to know what caused a single-engine plane to crash there yesterday. the pilot, gary weller of connecticut, was killed. antoinette: police suspect drunk driving in a deadly crash at oklahoma state's homecoming parade.

three adults and a two-year-old were killed when a car plowed into the crowd. 44 others were hurt. the driver was arrested on a d.u.i. charge. frank: the child whose remains sparked a nationwide search for her identity will be remembered today. the man who claims to be bella bond's father tells us 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 true identity. her mother and mother's boyfriend are charged in the toddler's death. antoinette: the boston teacher's union approves of the obama administration's new take on standarized testing. "the globe" reports it's happy with the plan, urging congress to limit the amount of time students spend on testing to 2% of their total time in school. the announcement was accompanied by survey results showing students take eight standardized tests a year on average. frank: the catholic church could become more welcoming toward divorced and remarried members of the faith. a three-week-long meeting of bishops in vatican city ended somewhat divisively.

but it did not rule out future changes to rules regarding who can receive communion. the meeting did not address whether the church will be more welcoming of gay people. antoinette: think about this as you make your breakfast this morning. kelloggs is coming out with five new pop tart flavors. they are maple-and-bacon, frosted watermelon, frosted chocolatey caramel, pink lemonade, and frosted spring strawberry. some flavors roll out in december, but you'll have to wait til next year for all of them to hit the shelves. frank: what are you thinking, danielle? danielle: i'm getting hungry. can we get some of those right now. antoinette: maybe a special order. danielle: a little special order for that. this morning we're talking about showers pushing through but it's not washout today. i just want to reiterate that. if you are headed out right now, grab an umbrella or rain gear. you're going to need it. if you're going down to gillette, i would bring it for the tailgate. by game time, we should be good. we should even see breaks of sun by the end of the game, mild

60's today. 50's though tomorrow. cool with sunshine. cool again on tuesday. and then we're watching the remnants of patricia. it may come in on wednesday afternoon through thursday and pretty much all day thursday. it could bring ra lot of rain but we really need we're down eight inches for the year. snoifn let's hope not severe. thanks, danielle. frank: you can watch the latest newscenter 5 newscast right now or any time on the wcvb mobile app.
