"the globe" reports an express line is in the works. right now everyone waits in one line to get a number, then waits for that number to be called. but soon everyone who has already completed their paperwork will get to use the faster express line. it's already in the works at some branches. a spokesperson says the city of newton will fight a lawsuit over a development project. a group of residents wants to stop the city from leasing the austin street parking lot to austin street partners, l.l.c. that group plans to turn the lot into housing and retail space. the lawsuit claims the city is unlawfully using its power in a

frank: 8:13. 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. they just really can't catch a break. frank: not at all. danielle: they had a system there already in place. then the remnants came on top of that. they've seen quite a bit of rain down there.

a lot of flooding going on. they have the flash flood watches up for that area. there's the potential for severe weather. all that is headed in our direction. not the severe weather and the flooding that we are seeing down there. i do want to talk about this because in the last 48 hours look at the amount of rain areas in texas have seen. almost 18 inches just south of dallas. that's just the last 48 hours and also houston picking up near 10 inches of rain as well. now, all of that is associated with this area of low pressure patricia. we're going to watch this carefully because all this moisture is going to lift up to the north towards us. but for now, our weather is impacted because of this cold front you see out to the north and west of us. that's why this morning, we are picking up on some showers. now the showers are extended from newburyport back to gloucester towards wilmington, boston. outside of 495 not as numerous as they were. and then down along parts of 95

south towards brockton, all of this is shifting to the south and east. so that means the south shore, the cape, you're up next for some rain. then notice out in western mass, tendency. that is the idea as we go through the day today for today. by 10:00, most of these showers and boston. by noon, really just one or two showers. otherwise we're starting to dry out. and notice the clouds beginning to break apart. so we should be see some sunshine. depending on how much sunshine we see, will depend on how warm our temperatures get. in terms of rainfall, it hasn't been much. only about 1/100th of an inch has fallen in boston. about a tenth of an inch in ork. the exception is out in pittsfield. they picked near a half an inch of rain. rain is welcome here because we really could use it. over boston right now, you see low-level clouds. it is raining there currently. 52 degrees. the winds are out of the south at about 11 but it is milder

than it was yesterday morning. and temperatures today will warm up, i think, into the low to even mid 60's in some spots. the upper 50's though will be the exception in worcester. then tonight as we start to clear out, the winds turn to the north and west. that's a cooling wind so we're going to drop down into the low 0's especially through the merrimack valley. so if you're headed off to work or to school tomorrow, you're definitely going to need a jacket. high temperatures tomorrow even with a lot of sunshine because of the northwest wind will only stay in the lower 50's. so today is the milder day. high pressure dominating our weather though, bringing us the sunshine tomorrow and the cooler conditions. it continues to keep us dry through tuesday all day tuesday as we watch the remnants of patricia get closer to us by tuesday night into early wednesday. and then by wednesday afternoon, it is knocking on our doorstep. in fact, let me show you this, the exact timing for wednesday. this is what it looks like on the future cast. notice by 8:00 a.m., we're still dry.

but once we get past lunchtime, say, after noon into early evening, that ride home from work on wednesday is going to be a soggy one, i think, and there could be a lot of wind with this as well. 8:00 in the morning on thursday still ongoing showers. and then it should clear the region by thursday night which is perfect because the pailt rots actually have another home game on thursday. it looks like you should be good to go if you're going to that one. behind this frontal system though, we will turn much cooler over next weekend. antoinette and frank. antoinette: danielle, thank you. it's 8:18. stories we're following right now on the eyeopener. 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. antoinette: new york city is

honoring a police officer killed a vigil was held yesterday for shot in the head while chasing a suspect in east harlem. at the vigil reverend al sharpton said holder represents the best in the community and called on all citizens to mourn him. frank: 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 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. >> now sportscenter 5 with bob halloran.

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 games. 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.

better treatments. dr. mckee: there are certain 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 string?" that can be a huge release for a veteran. i mean, it could be the difference between a good day and a bad day. emily: and veterans like will 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 important cause they were promoting. and a live look at the city of boston right now. the sun just coming up. 5 degrees outside. danielle will have our forecast

gloucester and cape ann. wilmington seeing some too. down through framingham. brockton is in on it now. all this is shifting to the east. but behind it, you start to see it's spotty showers when you get outside of worcester. and that is the case and the trend. we're going to be on a drying trend as we head through the later half of the day, as the cold front knocks on through. what's going to happen today is although temperatures are starting in the 40's and 50's, through the afternoon, we're going to see these temperatures bump up really nicely. let me show you this in the merrimack valley if i can. temperatures warming into the low 60's by about 2:00 or so. and notice we will see some peeks of sunshine out there. if we see more sunshine, i do think temperatures could warm up even more. but what we are talking about degrees. the winds out of the south shifting to the west at about 10-15. then we're watching the remnants of patricia providing a lot of rain for houston and louisiana. ward.

view on galveston beach as storm clouds gathered. this train carrying cement derailed when it hit partially submerged tracks south of dallas. and in corsicana, 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. frank: two middle school 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 school. tiffany simmons: kind of scary.

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 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 people think. 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

brian: i've watched people come 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. >> now your storm team 5 forecast with meterologist danielle vollmar. danielle: the big difference today is we do have some rain in the forecast. at least through the morning hours. once we get to the afternoon though, we begin to dry out and get some breaks of sunshine. we're dry both monday and tuesday. rain chances go up on wednesday afternoon. and that is associated with the remnants of patricia.

as for what's happening right now, a cold front going through the area. you can see the showers mainly now combined to the east coast of massachusetts. just south of newburyport towards gloucester over towards boston down near brockton and a big downpour going on there. more showers pushing in to southeastern mass, new bedford you're up next for all these showers and then you folks on the cape will get this too. as we look farther to the north and west, we're starting to dry out in western massachusetts. and eventually we'll get some breaks in the cloud deck. this is all caused by the cold front. and there are those remnants of patricia down to the south. high pressure then building in for tomorrow which means it is a dry forecast. so timing everything out for you , we're going to leave in a couple of one or two hit-or-miss showers through about 10:00 or so. once we get towards lunchtime, we're going to start to see that cloud deck thin out just a touch. and start to actually see more sunshine through, say, 3:00, 4:00, 5:00 today. so that is great news if you're

headed out to gillette today looking really good. except for maybe these early morning hours where you might get a little wet if you're tailgating very, very early. in terms of how much rain we'll see only 1/100th of an inch in boston. about a tenth of an inch in orange and a half an inch in western mass. we really do need the rain because a lot of us still under a moderate drought. you can see this area in tan. and boston since january 1 down near eight inches of rain for the year. worcester now creeping up to 7.5 inches of rain that they're down for the year. so again morning showers leading to a milder day overall. it's cooler but very sunny on monday. and then the heavy rain in the forecast wednesday and thursday. we could be talking an inch to two inches. it will be milder so there could even be embedded thunderstorms. second. more about today's afternoon high temperatures warming in the low to even mid 60's depending on how much sunshine we really do see. upper 50's though through

worcester county. and then as we head towards this evening, the skies start to clear out. with a northwesterly wind, we're going to see temperatures drop back into the lower 30's so tomorrow morning, you definitely want to grab a coat. in fact, through the day even with the sunshine, that northwest wind keeping temperatures in lower 50's so it's a cool one as high pressure dominates giving us tons of sun. then we're watching patricia really carefully. notice all this tropical moisture headed up towards us, but by tuesday we're still dry and pretty much cloud free. the clouds don't really enter the forecast until we get towards wednesday and even into thursday. now i do want to talk about thursday and even into friday because friday we're going to turn windy and cool behind us. in fact look at these winds. these are wind gusts. look how strong they blow gusting over 35-45 miles an hour. so we are talking about a windy pattern set up for wednesday, thursday. it's wet then. friday it looks like we should dry out. we'll just see maybe afternoon clouds and halloween right now,

that's saturday just so you know, looks pretty good but temperatures around trick or treating in the 40's. make sure the kids dress in layers. frank and antoinette. antoinette: good advice, dab jell, thank you. it's 8:49. other headlines we're tracking right now. the catholic church could become more welcoming toward divorced and remarried members of the faith. 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. frank: actress maureen o'hara has died. the 95-year-old was known as the queen of technicolor in her heyday because of her vivid hair and green eyes. o'hara was in some of hollywood's best loved movies including "miracle on 34th street."

she played the mother who doubts her daughter has really met santa. antoinette: 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 edition bottle go on sale early and sell out fast. so new bottles will go on sale at 9:00 a.m. on november 3 for $20.15. $20 for a bottle of pepsi. frank: i don't think you'll drink it if you pay $20 for it. antoinette: that's true. it's cranberry season in massachusetts. frank: coming up, we head out to west wareham to see how they get from the bog to your kitchen. antoinette: and a live look outside over the city of boston this morning. it is gloomy out there. rain moving through the area. but danielle says it won't be

weather conference we had yesterday where we all attended the southern new england weather conference, that is. so i want to talk about the fall foliage. it is past peak up in northern new england but it's peaking through southern new hampshire, worcester county, and you've been seeing a lot of color now in boston and the south shore. the cape will be up next for that. if you're up traveling north for some really good foliage, it might be raining this morning but by afternoon, drying out. lots of sunshine tore for monday 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. a company in wareham is is one of the oldest and largest companies. but a new kid on the block is making quite a splash. >> we're family owned and local. we pack and ship our own cranberries as fresh fruit in the fall. we also produce a line of cold pressed cranberry juices. anthony: craig cannon is a second-generation cranberry grower who started bluewater farms in west wareham in 2014. this year he started a line of all natural cranberry juices. craig: 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. craig: 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. helicopter and right on to the trailer. the plants, they go through a multistep process. blowers which removes the leaves and the vines. 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: bluewater bags its dry harvest berries. their traditional wet beds are used to make six flavors of juice. craig: 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." that sounds like fun. frank: it sounds like fun to me. she looked like she was having great time. she wasn't complaining. a prestigious honor for one 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 remember this. your immune system doesn't work the way it did 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.

but there are still some showers lingering especially along the east coast of massachusetts. you can see some heavier downpours from gloucester down along the south shore all the way down to ocean bluff. plymouth, you're up next for this. brockton under a couple of showers too. and the cape will be seeing some as well. the farther north and west you go, you notice the drying trend. just a couple of hit-or-miss spot showers. and that is the trend through morning hours. i think by afternoon, we start to see some breaks in the cloud deck and more sunshine will warm these temperatures up. the reason we're seeing the showers though, it's all associated with the cold front. worcester. upper 50's already in taunton and on the cape as well as the islands. and as we go through the next 12 hours in worcester county, temperatures will begin to warm up into the lower to even upper 50's for high temperatures. so we're going anywhere from 58 to 66 degrees with breaks of sunshine later today. but there are better chances for rain coming from the remnants of

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. not what they want to hear in that area. frank: not catching a break. danielle: unfortunately not. they've been having rain for the last three days straight. it will wind down for them but on us. at least the remnants. we do need the rain. it doesn't look like it will be as severe as per say what they're dealing with down in the texas area. i do want to pint out the impressive rain totals. it's almost 18 inches of rain just south of dallas. houston picking up over ten inches of rain too. and all of this is associated with the remnants of patricia. right here you can see it. all this moisture is going to

head up north towards us. but before it does, we already have some showers in our forecast right now because of this cold front. and let me show you right now because it is moving across the state pretty much all day long. now moving towards the south shore, the cape. next. there are a couple of showers back building here. we're going to leave them in the forecast at least for the next couple of hours. notice a good band here along the south shore moving towards the cape as well as towards the vineyard. so you'll be up next for it. then there's a couple of hit-or-missnes out here in western mass but that's really about it. so i do think as we go through the morning hours, we'll leave a couple of hit-or-miss showers in, say, until about 11:00 or so. then as we get towards 1:00 we'll start to dry out. happens. apart. and depending on how much sunshine we see, temperatures could warm up even more so, but we are projecting high temperatures in the low 60's to

even mid 60's in some locations. there isn't that much main. not all that much. only 3/100ths of an inch in boston. two tenths of an inch has fallen in concord. near half an inch in pittsfield. h. they were under a good rain belt earlier this morning. and we do need the rain. we're going to welcome it. we're down near 8 inches for the year in boston. down over or just under two-and-a-half inches in the month for boston. so looking at boston right now, it's kind of a gloomy day out there unfortunately, folks. 53 degrees. however, i do think conditions are going to improve as we get deeper into the afternoon. this morning. the winds are out of the south and west at about 8. as we go through the day today, temperatures warm into the low 60's. maybe a few upper 50's through worcester county and the merrimack valley. and then tonight as the skies clear out, the winds start to turn to the north and west. we're going to see those temperatures drop and bottom out in the low 30's. tomorrow morning when you're going back to work or back to school, you definitely want to grab a coat. you're going to need it.

through the day we're only going to warm up into the low 50's sunshine. the reason why we're going to have a northwest wind bringing down that cool canadian air. patricia. they get closer to us by tuesday evening, but still dry until once we get to wednesday afternoon. and then behind it, we're going to see a lot of rain wednesday afternoon through thursday. we could see one to even two inches of rain from this and lot of wind with this one. now if you are headed out to new england patriots game, they're playing today at home. looks like it should be good except for the tailgate. there could be wet weather there but it should be ending, showers, that is, wrapping up on thursday night. however, there will still be wind around but temperatures will be on the mieltd side in the 60's. but behind that system, we cool weekend. antoinette and frank. antoinette: danielle, thank you. now on the eyeopener. the child whose remains sparked identity will be remembered frank: the man who claims to be bella bond's father tells us

"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 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. >> now sportscenter 5 with bob halloran. bob: tom brady has won 165 of

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 games. 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 make them tough to beat. bob: boston college at louisville yesterday. b.c.'s offense still struggling mightily. the cardinals running back strips for a 46-yard touchdown. they go on to beat the eagles 17-14. harvard crimson home against clemson. the quarterback threw for two touchdowns and also had a career-high 437 yards passing.

markers they've seen in other brain disorders hoping to find better treatments. dr. mckee: there are certain 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 string?" that can be a huge release for a veteran. i mean, it could be the difference between a good day and a bad day. emily: and veterans like will 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

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. morning, it's like a scene straight out of a halloween horror flick. the streets of boston. the important cause they were promoting. and a live look outside right now. 9:23. 55 degrees. stay with us. the "eyeopener" continues right

>> now on newscenter 5's "eyeopener." danielle: i'm tracking showers this morning. when they'll move out and the milder temperatures we'll see today. antoinette: much of the texas heartland is under flash flood watch this morning with remnants of patricia on the move. residents being warned the threat is not over yet. frank: the new hampshire pumpkin festival lighting up for the first time in laconia. the world record they attempted to break. >> you're watching wcvb, boston's news leader. good morning! this is newscenter 5's "eyeopener." frank: it's 9:31 on this sunday morning. good morning to all of you. i'm frank holland. antoinette: and i'm antoinette antonio along with danielle vollmar who has been tracking some rain this morning but in some parts if you slept in, just woke up, you probably missed it. danielle: you probably missed it. we are socked in with the clouds too. we do have a couple showers around. by afternoon we'll see all this move out of here. because of that, i do think we're going to see some breaks of sunshine. the sunshine breaks will lead to warmer temperatures.

first band of showers pushing towards the south shore, the cape and the islands. but i am watching this area right here towards the back of western massachusetts. it seems to be redeveloping just a touch. so we're going to watch that carefully. it could push through worcester. and if it held together, towards boston as well. notice it's becoming hit or miss, the showers out there at this point. not expecting much in terms of totals. we really do welcome the rain. we need it. the cold front is the reason for all this. it's going to push on through. and so as we go through the day, we should dry out by lunchtime and see sunshine by afternoon. temperatures this morning starting out already in the 50's , even the upper 50's on nantucket. an indication that warmer air is afternoon we could warm up as boston. due to that wind out of the south shifting to the west. low 60's boston. low 60's along the south shore. it is mild out there right now. but big temperature differences are coming as well as a good

antoinette. antoinette: danielle, thank you. we have new information overnight on a deadly fire in "the telegram" reports one person was killed in a third-floor apartment of a housing authority building on elm street. it happened at around 9:00 last night. there are no sprinklers in that building which is home to seniors and people with disabilities. the cause is still under investigation, but right now firefighters do not think it's suspicious. frank: also breaking overnight, this crash in ashland left five people hurt. it happened just before 1:00 this morning on east union street. the road is still closed right now, and power will be out in the area for a bit longer. firefighters say there was only one car involved. two of the people inside had to be flown to the hospital. 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.

she was not an officer. 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. once-powerful hurricane patricia texas. flooding from the storm even caused a 64-car pile-up there. 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

clouds gathered. this train carrying cement derailed when it hit partially submerged tracks south of dallas. and in corsicana, 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. frank: two middle school students are facing serious accusations in methuen. they're accused of making violent threats against their school. the arrests come just days after a similar case at the high school. tiffany simmons: kind of scary.

incidents where students who are accused of plotting school violence have her worried. tiffany: my friends have been talking about it. it happened all in one week. we talked about it last night, like what would we do if it happened? it's overwhelming. like uneasy coming to school. like you don't know who has what. mayor: we want to be proactive rather than reactive. frank: the mayor and police chief addressing the incidents on saturday. two eighth grade students at tenney middle school charged on friday with threatening to, quote, "shoot up the school." a methuen high student arrested on monday for making similar threats. chief: i think the parents have more fear than the students. frank: the mayor wants to meet face to face with parents at the three kindergarten to 8th grade schools and the high school. mayor: we should have assemblies in each one of our schools not only for the students but more importantly in the evening for the parents. frank: a police officer has been placed in each school since 2002, but the chief believes preventing school violence starts at home. chief: having the conversations with your children and saying, "you know what?

"are you feeli they don't play at that level. they play in the rotisserie and fantasy leagues that a lot of people do. the attorney general's view has been that it's a game of skill. i'm going to take my lead from her on that. frank: governor baker also addresses the opioid crisis and the "t." watch "on the record" this morning at 11:00 right here on channel 5.

new home in a new city. event drawing thousands of people downtown. pumpkin fest had been held in but the city put a stop to it after rioting last year near this year's celebration went off without a hitch. organizers even tried to break a record for the number of carved and lit pumpkins on display. they fell short but they say the night wasn't just about trying to break a record. >> this is the first time the community has been brought together to do something this big, and to have it be the very first time that we did it, i think we did a fantastic job. antoinette: laconia is expected to host the event again next year. antoinette: patriot wide activated for this afternoon's it's some re-enforcement as the pats prepare for what could be their toughest test yet. lafell, who had 74 catches for over 900 yards a year ago, has been out all season with an injured left foot. he should be able to help, but

defense. tight end rob gronkowski says everyone will have to pull their weight. >> 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. frank: kickoff is at 1:00 at gilette. 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 and everything 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 military. some of my competitors plan to reduce the use of antibiotics over the next few years. r but what are you having for dinner tonight?

rtry perdue simply smart and harvestland . rtwo trusted perdue brands of chicken raised with no antibiotics ever. my name is 208 ridge road. and i've...seen things. like the sock rampage of 2010. the sleep eating of 2012. p and the babysitter make-out of 2014. gross. r but now with nest cam, these guys can check in 24/7. so they can see allrthe crazy things i see. hey, ya little thief! did he have thumbs?! okay, now i've seen it all.

antoinette: good morning. 9:42. welcome back. 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

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 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 found when it came to being addicted to drugs on active brian: it's a lot bigger than people think. 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 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 his story of his daily battle with addiction. brian: i've watched people come from death back to life. 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. >> now your storm team 5 forecast with meterologist danielle vollmar. danielle: well, it's raining across most of the area right now. and the rain risk is on the high side at least through the morning hours. but once we get to the afternoon, we are going to see some clearing and some breaks of sun. that's going to allow the temperatures to warm up.

we're dry monday and tuesday and then wednesday afternoon, the rain is going to go back up to high as the remnants of patricia get closer to us. right now, patricia, the remnants, that is, is pounding parts of houston, louisiana, moving out towards arkansas. all of this is headed in our direction. but the rain this morning is all due to this cold front you can see out to the north and west. most of the showers have pushed off now towards the south shore, towards the cape. as they do so, they're diminishing in aerial coverage. watch a couple showers pop up in western mass and southern connecticut. if they hold together, worcester, boston, you would be up next for some of those showers. very light in nature. not expecting much from this. as we go through the morning hours, what happens is you notice they become less and less. by lunchtime or so we're clearing out and seeing some breaks in the cloud deck. depending on how many breaks we really see will depend on how warm we get in the afternoon. more breaks means more chances

to warm up. in terms of how much rain we've seen only 3/100ths after he inch in boston and a tenth of an inch in worcester. a half an inch in pittsfield. they've seen the most rain because they had downpours earlier. look at boston right now. you can see very much clouded over. this is most of the area right now. at least socked in with clouds. rain out there. 5 degrees. the winds are out of the south and west at about 8. the big story is the temperature difference. yesterday's high stayed in the 40's both in boston and in worcester. today in worcester we're going to warm up into the upper 50's. in boston if we see a lot more sun, the mid 60's could be your high temperature. in fact, most areas staying in the low to mid 60's. the only exception is worcester checking in in the 50's. then tonight as the skies clear out, the winds calm down and turn to the north and west. temperatures are going to drop into the 30's and maybe a couple of low 40's out there but it's a chilly start to your monday. through the day of monday even with lots of sunshine, which

still going to be cool with temperatures only in the low 50's so be aware of that. it's all due to high pressure giving us a northwest breeze keeping things cool. and then we're watching this area of low pressure which is the remnants. it will move closer and closer to us. we'll still dry and sunny through the day of tuesday. this doesn't really impact us until wednesday. when it does wednesday afternoon into early thursday the main impacts will be the heavy rain, the gusty winds. it looks to be on the medium side. there could be an isolated risk for some rumbles of thunder. rain totals could be anywhere from an inch to two inches which we will welcome in. let's time out that rain on wednesday, shall we? as we go through the morning hours, we're dry. it's mainly through afternoon, that ride home from work, that becomes pretty wet indeed. and overnight into first thing thursday morning. still leaving in the chances for showers. the other thing is those winds really starting to ramp on up. once we get through thursday afternoon and evening, we start to dry out just in time for that

thursday night football game. i know those pats are playing again so it looks like if you're headed to that game, you should be good to go. it's mild, too, in the 60's but then behind us, we turn in to the 50's as we enter hall weefn weekend. antoinette arch frank. 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 5's mike lynch, they usually succeed. mike: they have once again rebuilt and re-tooled. the holliston high school panthers are defending super bowl champs. decimated by graduation, they are back in the hunt once again unbeaten in late october.

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. did you have any doubts coming 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! mike: holliston has already clinched the tri valley league large title, their 21st league championship. right, nine-- super bowl wins in school history. winning is a tradition, and winning is expected. is pressure to win a good thing? too much pressure? andrew: no, it absolutely motivates us. i think this team came together 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

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." their formula for success is simple and hardly complicated. justin: practice. we practice every day as hard as we can. we win the games during the week, not during the weekend. 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! frank: a big play-off game for them on friday. antoinette: that is a good

practice does make perfect, as they say. frank: exactly. still ahead this morning, a deadly shooting in hyde park. antoinette: the suspect now at the center of a murder investigation and how she's

antoinette: new information in overnight on a deadly fire in millbury. "the telegram" reports one person was killed in a third-floor apartment of a housing authority building on elm street. it happened at around 9:00 last night. there are no sprinklers in that building which is home to seniors and people with disabilities. the cause is still under investigation, but right now firefighters do not think it's suspicious. frank: also breaking overnight, this crash in ashland left five people hurt. it happened just before 1:00 this morning on east union street. the road is still closed right now, and power will be out in the area for a bit longer. firefighters say there was only one car involved. two of the people inside had to be flown to the hospital. 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. 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. right now the hunt for an escaped prisoner in bourne is over. the prisoner turned himself in just before 5:00 this morning after more than a day on the run. he will be arraigned tomorrow morning at falmouth district court. the child whose remains sparked a nationwide search for her identity will be remembered today. 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 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. frank: danielle with one more look at the weather. danielle: a little bit of rain this morning but that rain should be pushing out of here right after lunchtime. breaks of sunshine will lead to milder temperatures. we're talking low to mid 60's i

think through the day today. if we get some breaks of sunshine. a lot of sunshine tomorrow but with a northwest wind unfortunately temperatures struggle to make it in the low 50's 6789 overnight lows in the 30's. the same thing on tuesday. it's kind of a cool day overall. and then as we head towards wednesday and thursday we're watching the remnants of patricia. they will be knocking on our doorstep giving us heavy rain, pretty strong winds and maybe a few rumbles of thunder which are windy and cool behind that for halloween weekend. antoinette: get the jackets under the costumes. frank: watch the latest
