5:14 am
needs volunteers to return on december 15 and remove the flag so they they can be stored and reused >> now your storm team 5 forecast with meterologist danielle vollmar. antoinette: i know there are worse things than 44 degrees on a november morning but after the last few days we've had it's quite the change. danielle: that is a big difference. what we were talking about yesterday morning around 7:00 in the morning we were at 60 degrees in boston. this morning we'll be starting out in the 40's and 30's. that is the main temperature impact. notice they've dropped about 15 degrees cooler than this time yesterday. right now we're checking in at 46 in boston, 39 degrees in worcester. it is currently 34 degrees right now in orange. 46 on the cape and 51 degrees on nantucket. so that's actually the milder spot on the map. the one thing that happened is that cold front came through. it's also kicked up those winds. these are the wind gusts right now.
5:15 am
of 21 miles an hour in boston. but up to 30 miles an hour on nantucket. so the key is today, it is going to be a breezy, windy day. that's going to keep temperatures down and make it feel even colder when you step outside the door. so through the day, lots of sunshine, but those winds out north and west at about 10 to 15 to even 20 miles an hour sustained. because of that, high temperatures only climbing in the low 50's in worcester. mid 50's boston, the merrimack valley seeing the mid 50's. also parts of portsmouth seeing 54 degrees. and 55 on cape. high pressure is dominating our weather though so it comes with a lot of sunshine which we will take. the winds around it clockwise. that's why we have that very strong northwest wind through the day today. now we're watching this area down to the south. it's an area of low pressure. this is actually going to ride along the front. now it looks like the latest models bringing it closer to us which means all of us get
5:16 am
beginning on tuesday afternoon. not so much tonight though. with clear skies and calming winds, actually tonight into first thing tomorrow will be the coldest morning all week long with temperatures in the lower 30's in concord, 32 nashua. 40 in boston and 45 on nantucket. so make sure the kids tomorrow as they go back to school, they stop. and then tomorrow with some sunshine and that wind shift to the south and west, we'll warm up into the upper 50's and low 60's once again. 60's once again. so high pressure dominating not only for today, keeping us dry and sunny but also through your monday. and then here we go on tuesday. this is that area of low pressure that is going to bring us some much-needed rain. in fact, the rain impacts go up on tuesday and unfortunately for veterans day there's a low chance of some rain especially i think in the morning and then things should start to clear out. believe me, we really need the rain down over eight inches for the year in boston.
5:17 am
tuesday for you. so you can plan out your day. i think we start out dry with some clouds around in the morning hours. but once we get past, say, lunchtime or so, notice the heavy, steadier rain coming in, say, about 3:00 to 4:00 to even 5:00 so that ride home from work on tuesday is going to be a wet one. it continues through the evening into the overnight early on wednesday. i don't think the veterans day plans will be rained out by any means but you want to have rain gear around especially if you're doing anything in the morning hours on wednesday. we will dry out through the afternoon though. and then another risk of rain comes thursday into friday. frank and antoinette. antoinette: thank you, danielle. 5:17. this train derailment in wisconsin is just one of the stories we're following right now. frank: officials are trying to figure out what caused the accident along the mississippi river. several cars flipped on their side and some in the water. highways were closed and residents evacuated as a precaution, but no one was injured, and the train did not catch fire. antoinette: right now, a frantic

5:25 am
have an illicit relationship with a young student and not face criminal charges? in massachusetts, it's all about timing. this week, "5 investigates" uncovered the disturbing story of andrea clemens. when andrea was 14, a teacher, robert baker, befriended her and gained her trust. andrea clemens: i had been groomed for two years, and he didn't kiss me til like the week after i turned 16. that slow pace thing quickly turned into such an aggressive sexually abusive man that i was terrified. all the time, and i had no voice to say no. bill fine: but because andrea was 16, baker's behavior wasn't considered criminal. sadly, baker targeted other students too until he finally pleaded guilty to charges in 2002 and is now categorized a level 3 sex offender. but he never faced crges related to andrea. so how unusual is andrea's case? "5 investigates" discovered in recent years, on average, licenses of 15 massachusetts educators are suspended for sexual misconduct each year.
5:26 am
when students are 16 years or older, by law, sexual misconduct amazingly isn't considered a crime. it's time the state toughened consent laws and recognized the obvious-- the teacher-and-student relationship is not an equal one-- and those in a position of authority can too readily exert power over young, impressionable teens. andrea is now working with advocates to change state law, making sex between a teacher and student a crime until age 19. age of consent bills have been filed on beacon hill and hearings are scheduled for december. it is hard to conceive of any reasoning preventing legislators from taking tougher action so stories like andrea's result in

5:28 am
temperatures in the 60's and 50's. quite mild today. not so much. 40's and 30's. a big 15 to 20 degree temperature drop. be aware of that this morning if you're headed outside first thing. i would grab a coat. the other thing is we have really persistent winds out of the north and west. very active. anywhere from to 10 to 13 miles an hour now in boston. to 24 miles an hour now on nantucket. that's a pretty strong wind. that's creating a wind chill which is what you dress for so it feels more like the lower 30's and 40's in most locations. and you can see air temperaturewise, 46 boston. 46 on the cape. 48 on the vineyard. 39 in worcester. and as we go through the next 12 hours, temperatures are only going to warm into the upper 40's and low 50's for highs today. through the worcester hills. abundant sunshine. all of that. so as we go through the next 12 hours, temperatures are going to really warm up. 50-55 degrees.
5:29 am
the winds continue to houle out of the north and west. at about 10-20. all due to high pressure. the cold front, that brought the region. but we are watching an area of heavy rain developing near the panhandle of florida. all of this is lifting to the north and east. it actually looks to track closer to our area which means we will all see some much-needed rain so i'll give you the hour-by-hour forecast and talk about the warm-up that's coming ahead. antoinette? antoinette: danielle, thank you. breaking news overnight. a deadly accident on route 24 in stoughton. a pedestrian struck and killed. the accident involving a total of five cars. at least three others were taken to the hospital. the call came in around 3:15 this morning. state police are still on the scene at this hour. frank: right now, a deadly crash part of an intense investigation. two people were killed when a pick-up plunged into the charles river last night near the leverett circle. state police are trying to

there's a theory that snow in sibera during the month of october can predict our own conditions for the winter. and last month, siberia experienced record snowfall and the worst blizzard in a decade. above-average snow cover there is believed to affect the polar vortex and send bitterly cold temperatures to the northeast. once again just a theory doesn't happen. danielle: i'm not a long-range for caster. that's why we rely on judah cohen. he'll come in and talk to harvey. we'll rely on his prediction. i can be professor danielle vollmar sometimes. i want to give you an astronomy lesson. everyone has been talking about this. this is a live look off our roof deck. there's a waning crescent moon. that bright light above it is actually venus. now one thing i want to talk about is not only can you see that tonight but as we head towards tomorrow night, we're
5:42 am
not only going to be able to see venus. we're going to be able to see mars as well as jupiter too all in a line looking east before sunrise about 80 minutes before sunrise should i say. so just something you want to point out if you have a chance take a picture of it. i know they don't necessarily come out for that but i'd love to see them on twitter or facebook. please share them with me. one of the reasons you're going to be able to see this is because high pressure is dominating our weather giving us clear skies and also giving us gusty winds. we are watching this area of low pressure down to the south. it's developing right now. a lot of rain with this one. and the latest models are tracking it closer to our coastline which means all of us are going to get involved with some rain. and that rain looks to impact us on tuesday afternoon into early wednesday morning. but before that, sunday, monday are both dry. the big story today is the cold temperatures out there this morning. we're starting out at 39 degrees in worcester. 34 in orange.
5:43 am
46 degrees right now in boston. 42 lawrence. even 42 degrees in beverly. and the winds have been strong out of the north and west and they're gusting up to about 30 miles an hour now on nantucket. expect breezy conditions through the day today. it also is creating a bit of a wind chill which is what you dress for. it feels more like the low 30's and lower 40's in most locations. as we go through the next 12 hours, notice lots of sunshine out there. but those winds continue to blow out of the north and west at about 10-20. that means high temperatures today only going to make it into the low 50's in worcester, low 50's through parts of the merrimack valley. mid 50's though along the south shore, the cape and the islands. and then tonight with clear skies temperatures drop. in fact, tomorrow morning will be the coldest morning all week long with lows in the 30's, mid 30's's in the worcester hills. 40 in boston. so for the kids heading back to school, you heading back to work, definitely want to grab the jacket probably even a
5:44 am
winter jacket. at least to start the day. now through the afternoon, you may be able to take it off because we will warm up tomorrow into the upper 50's and lower 60's. so high pressure dominates. keeps us cool today. we do start to warm up tomorrow. and then we watch our next area of rain coming in on tuesday. it looks to come through tuesday afternoon into the early evening. in fact, let me show you this on the future cast. we start out dry. the morning commute on tuesday should be a dry one. it's the ride home i'm kerneled with some heavier downpours. that could continue into veterans day. for all of you folks planning things for that flag-raising, you may want to bring a couple of, you know, umbrellas or rain gear with you because there could be a lingering shower, but by the parade we'll see breaks of sun and by the end of the day on veterans day we are drying out and seeing more sunshine. look at these temperatures. the big story is this. even though today we're cooler, we warm up through the workweek back into the upper 50's and low 60's. so enjoy.

5:46 am
passed them down to his daughter. frank: it's game day for the patriots tom brady and the team looking to stay undefeated against the washington redskins. the patriots will improve to 8-0 if they win. kickoff is at 1:00 at gillette. we'll be live with hi-lites and post-game reaction at 5:00 and 6:00 tonight. antoinette: meanwhile, the bruins lost their 8th straight game to montreal last night at the bell center, but check this out. east longmeadow native frankie vatrano playing in his first nhl game, scores his first nhl goal against holliston native mike condon. but montreal gets a power play in the final two minutes and goes on to win, 4-2, handing the b's their third straight loss. they're in brooklyn to face the islanders late this afternoon. for this week's high 5, mike lynch takes a short ride down the road to needham high school. fans are still talking about that brilliant one-handed catch that is being compared to one of the best catches ever seen in
5:47 am
the nfl. mike: luke garretty had practiced this catch for the buddy in gym class over the winter trying to imitate o'dell beckham jr. of the new york giants. last friday night in a play-off game against king philip all that make believe became reality in an instant. announcer: that is an o'dell touchdown. we have another touchdown. mike: luke garretty suddenly became luge sky walker, leaping, arching, leaping back and hauling in a one-handed gem. >> i just looked back and saw the ball going up. i thought i would give it my best shot. mike: you haul it in. what was going through your head? >> i saw it autopsy-i looked over at the ref to see if it was a touchdown to see if i actually caught it. >> a little bit off and a little bit back. i already was mad at myself. he made an unbelievable play. i was speechless. mike: to think last year luke was an offensive tackle.
5:48 am
hands or hand. if you ever seen a catch like this especially in such a crucial situation. >> not in person, i haven't. i've seen it on sports center but never live and for a big play for a touchdown. mike: was it ever. marvel. you can't help compare it to the snag by o'dell beckham jr. last season. which catch was better? >> o'dell for sure. >> you have to be kidding me. that is impossible. know. >> i have to disagree. i have to give it to luke. that was quite the play. mike: was it ever. friday night under the lights play-off game. the stuff that dreams are made of. have you ever caught a pass like that in practice? >> no. no. mike: do you think you'll ever do it again? >> i don't think so. mike: don't bet against him. this was one for the ages. we salute luke garretty, the catch and his needham rockets'
5:49 am
[ cheers and applause ] antoinette: extra pump up around luke there. i'm going to have to argue with him. i think his was just as good if not better than o'dell beckham jr.'s. frank: neck and neck. that was a play-off game. you have to give him extra points for that. antoinette: and he's a high schooler. first a pumpkin shortage. now there appears to be a more limited supply of another key component of your thanksgiving meal. frank: why turkeys are going to ne in short short supply this holiday season. and a live look outside right now. 5:52. 42 degrees. danielle vollmar's forecast coming up right after this our cosmetics line was a hit. the orders were rushing in. p i could feel our deadlines racing towards us. we didn' t need a loan. r we needed short-term funding fast.

danielle: welcome back. i'm meteorologist danielle vollmar. the big story this morning. if you're stepping outside the door you're going to feel a morning. temperatures are start inning the 30's and 40's and with the wind it feels even cooler. grab a coat. you will need it. today is actually the coolest day of the week. 54 degrees for your high which is where we should be this time of year but we're going to get a warming trend on the way which is really nice. we'll take it. 58 on monday. 60 tuesday. by wednesday 61 degrees. now that does come with some rain. it is much-needed rain coming on
5:52 am
tuesday afternoon into early wednesday morning. that's why we have the low impact of rain on wednesday. but it's from that area of low pressure you see down to the south over the panhandle of texas, that's actually going to come closer to us than previously thought. and what that will do is give us some rain. not looking for much. maybe a quarter of an inch at best but that will definitely help put a dent in the drought. we're down over eight inches for boston. since january 1. we're down over seven inches in worcester. we really do need that rain. frank? frank: thanks a lot, danielle. a little bit of bad news possibly. you may be paying more for your thanksgiving dinner this year. the bird-flu outbreak wiped out more than nine million turkeys. that means fewer turkeys in warehouses and higher prices for shoppers. analysts are reluctant to declare a turkey shortage but say turkey stocks are down more than 21 million pounds since august. that's nearly double last year's number. a recent study linking bacon to cancer had little impact on attendance at the southwest bacon fest. antoinette: check this out. more than 6,000 people were at balloon fiesta park in
5:53 am
albuquerque for the third annual event. event organizers hamming it up with all kinds of fun for the whole family including, of course, a bacon-eating contest. bacon enthusiasts say cancer shouldn't be an issue with occasional consumption. but all of is that bacon-eating, the contest i don't know if that qualifies as occasional. it's occasionally a lot of bacon frank: isn't that good for your mental health? bacon makes me happy. antoinette: i agree with that one. controversy following g.o.p. candidate donald trump to late night. frank: the protests ahead of his "saturday night live" appearance. and the key controversy that made it in to several sketches on the show. and changes getting underway today on a dangerous roadway. the construction project planned to make the area safer. antoinette: and a live look outside as the sun starts to rise this morning over worcester. thank you, everyone, for waking up with us.
