8:14 am
it's not going to be too bad. there's sunshine out there. if you are stepping outside the door first thing, i would grab a coat. it's cold in spots, in the 40's and 0's. so here's what's going to happen as we go through the day. i do want to show you our headline. there is a fall feel to today. there is a warming trend on the way. if you don't like how it feels today, just wait until tomorrow. temperatures start to bump up in the upper 50's and low 60's actually by tuesday. there is going to be chances for much-needed rain this week. we're looking forward to that. the first chance coming on tuesday. another chance coming on thursday. so the temperature trend on the way up. which is great. our average high temperature this time of year should be around 54 degrees so today we'll be right around seasonable average. we will starting though chilly in some spots, in the 40's. 47 boston. 48 on the cape. 45 in plymouth. 45 also in lawrence. one thing you will notice today is those winds.
8:15 am
nantucket to 28 miles an hour. but they're sustained everywhere at about 10-20 miles an hour. so it is going to be a bit on the breezy side throughout the afternoon. temperaturewise, warming up in the upper 40's in worcester. low to mid 50's through boston. the south shore, the cape and the islands. we will see abundant sunshine through the day today. now the winds die down tonight. we have clear skies. that's going to allow those temperatures to drop overnight. in fact, tomorrow morning we're going to wake up to the coldest temperatures all week long. starting in the 30's through the merrimack valley. mid 30's through worcester. 40 in boston. 40 on the cape and 46 on nantucket. but with sunshine tomorrow and a southwest wind, anywhere from 5-10 miles an hour, we will rebound back into the upper 50's and lower 60's. again high pressure is dominating our weather but we are watching this area of low pressure down to the south. this is our next big weather-maker.
8:16 am
going to bring rain in the forecast beginning on tuesday. i leave a high chance in for some rain on tuesday afternoon into the evening. that does linger into early wednesday morning. however, for the veterans day plans, i think by afternoon, by parade time, we should be drying out and even seeing some breaks of sunshine. so here is that future cast. high pressure dominates today. it dominates tomorrow. we're on the warmer side of it by tomorrow. here comes that rain on tuesday by 11:00 already knocking on our the afternoon. in fact, here is that timing on the rain on tuesday. we are dry through the early commute. by 11:00, 12:00, it's coming in. by 5:00, heavy downpours around boston, worcester, so if you're headed home from work, it could be a wet ride and a nasty one for sure. it continues into early wednesday morning and then temperaturewise, we stay in the 60's through the workweek. another chance for rain coming

deepening recession. he beat u.s. president barack obama, who dropped down to third place, and german chancellor angela merkel currently in second. frank: a strange light over the los angeles area capturing the imagination of a lot of people. the coast guard receiving plenty of calls about a suspicious light in the night sky. several theories lit up social media, but no aliens here. the navy confirms the light was just from an unarmed test missile they fired off a submarine. >> now sportscenter 5 with bob halloran. bob: good morning, everyone. the patriots looking to improve to 8-0 this afternoon, home against washington. we'll be live with highlights and post-game reaction at 5:00 and at 6:00 tonight. meanwhile, the bruins lost their 8th straight game to montreal last night at the bell center. bergen's shot is directed in by arennson. his fifth is a powerplay goal two minutes into the game. later a kid with a dream chips

8:24 am
now we are watching an area of low pressure to the south. we're also watching this area over the tropics. it has now been increased to a 50% chance of becoming tropical within the next 48 hours. we're going to watch that area very carefully. in temperatures of hurricane season, it is not over until november 30. we're already had joaquin. so kate would be our next named storm. antoinette and frank. antoinette: all right, danielle, thank you. a scaly surprise for one texas town. frank: residents in sugarland were greeted by a massive alligator at the local strip mall yesterday. the gator weighs more than 800 pounds and is more than 12 feet long. wrangling the animal proved to be quite the task. after nearly three hours, a forklift from the home depot was brought in to lift him onto the back of a truck. he'll be sent to an alligator sanctuary, spending the rest of his life with a bunch of girlfriends. antoinette: that's what he was doing at the strip mall. he was shopping for the girlfriends. frank: like coming to america

8:26 am
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 as a level 3 sex offender. but he never faced charges 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. but there aren't always charges. 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
8:27 am
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 criminal consequences. catch holiday-cookie cheer on the tip of your tongue cookie-flavored coffees, lattes, and macchiatos. enjoy every sip of the new snickerdoodle macchiato. remember this. your immune system doesn't work the way it did
8:28 am
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 vaccine component, including eggs, egg products, or to a prior dose of any flu vaccine. tell your doctor if you've ever side effects include pain swelling and redness at the injection site; muscle aches, fatigue, headache and fever. 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.

9:36 am
it's 9:41. you may be paying more for your thanksgiving dinner this year. the bird-flu outbreak wiped out more than 9-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. frank: demonstrators were out in canton yesterday protesting the decision to allow a deer hunt in the blue hills. state officials say the area is over-populated with deer. they claim the animals have a negative effect on vegetation, spread lyme disease, and are too often the involved in car accidents. but critics cite concerns for the deer, public safety threats, and questions about the validity of the studies backing the hunt. the controlled hunt will be permitted over four days in coming weeks. in a response, a d.c.r. spokesperson says, "the health of the blue hills state reservation's forest has been, and continues to be, negatively
9:37 am
overabundance of deer. d.c.r. has taken considerable steps to ensure the public's safety during this controlled hunt." antoinette: remember this from last year? all of that snow. we may be in store for another wicked winter. 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. keep covering your eyes, danielle. it won't do anything. danielle: i was trying to erase all those memories because it seems like it was just yesterday that was happening. it's coming around again. but today at least we're talking about, you know, a more november-like feel but it's not too bad. it's sunny out. we'll take it.
9:38 am
the month of november has been very warm. in fact, we've been 12 degrees above average so far this month. all in the red color you see. today we're going to be running right around average. and if you like the warmer temperatures, you're going to see more of them as we head towards monday, tuesday and even wednesday when we climb back into the low 60's for highs. we should be running around 54 degrees this time of year. now as you look over boston right now, you see bright blue skies. really just a couple of clouds. you notice the camera shaking just a touch. that could be a pretty strong wind out of the north and west. and they are going to be persistent through the day today. right now at 13 miles an hour expect expect them to be hour. 49 degrees in boston so we're starting to warm up but notice the wind gusts are upwards of 25 miles an hour now in worcester. so it's a bit blustery outside. that is where we're going to stay through the afternoon.
9:39 am
temperaturewise, warming, upper 40's in worcester. low 50's boston. mid 50's along the south shore. lower 50's through the merrimack valley today. and then tonight we'll have clear skies. temperatures dropping to the low 30's, mid 30's in worcester. 40 in boss son so as the kids go back to school tomorrow and you go back to work, make sure you grab the coat. they will need it. by afternoon with the southwest wind and lots of sunshine, we will rebound back into the upper 50's and low 60's for highs. high pressure dominating our weather but we are watching an area of low pressure down here to the south. its latest track keeps it closer to our coastline. with it, we could see heavy rain and some strong winds. in fact, the rain impact goes up on tuesday. looks like mainly tuesday after lunchtime and it continues into early wednesday morning before winding down by wednesday afternoon. that means if you have veterans day plans in the morning hours, you may need the rain here in
9:40 am
you're going to be outside. but through the afternoon, we'll start to dry things out. high pressure dominates our weather today. also for tomorrow. so we start out cool tomorrow. but then we warm up with a southwest wind and then here comes that area of low pressure. with it the rain entering the forecast by 11:00 on tuesday. now how much rain are we talking about? anywhere from about a half an inch to an inch to maybe an inch-and-a-half in some areas like southeastern mass. so we're talking about a lot of rain. we really do need it. as you can see, this area in tan under a moderate drought. we're down over eight inches for the year of rain in boston. so the timing on this system on tuesday looks like this. in fact, the showers start mainly around midday or so. and then the heavier downpours coming in around 4:00 or 5:00. they continue until 11:00. we'll look for gusty winds as well with this. and then for your veterans day again the morning some lingering showers but by afternoon starting to dry out. maybe even seeing some breaks of
9:41 am
sunshine by late day. temperature wires though we're staying pretty warm. upper 50's, low 60's through the workweek. frank? frank: thanks a lot, daniellement 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: for this week's high 5, mike lynch takes a short ride down the road to needham high school. frank: fans are still talking about that brilliant one-handed catch. that is being compared to one of the best catches ever seen in the nfl. mike: luke garretty had practiced this catch with a 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 beckham jr. catch and a touchdown. houston, we have another
9:42 am
touchdown. mike: luke garretty suddenly became luge skywalker-- leaping, arching, reaching 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 sat up. i looked over at the ref on the goaline to see if it was a touchdown, to see if i actually caught it. >> i saw him open. i lifted my hand. i thought i was a little bit off and a little bit back. i already was mad at myself. i was speechless. mike: to think last year luke was an offensive tackle. who knew he had such a pair of hands or hand. have 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! each time you watch it, you 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. >> he was falling down, you
9:43 am
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' teammates as this week's-- >> high 5.

9:48 am
sunshine that's coming in your weather today. as you step outside the door, it is slightly cooler than where we should be but we will be warming up to the mid 50's which is where we should be this time of year. 58 degrees on monday. lots of sunshine after a very chilly start. we will see some rain move in tuesday by about lunchtime. heavy, steadier rain through the afternoon and evening now. it looks like wind too with this one. this is a low pressure system. to will taper off by wednesday afternoon. antoinette: bouncing back to 60. not bad. danielle: mild through the workweek, in fact. frank: you can watch the latest newscenter 5 newscast right now or any time on the wcvb mobile apps. antoinette: "this week" with george stephanapolous is next followed by o.t.r. have a great day. >> this is an editorial by wcvb-tv channel 5 president and general manager bill fine. bill fine: how can a teacher have an illicit relationship with a young student and not face criminal charges? in massachusetts, it's all about
9:49 am
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 as a level 3 sex offender. but he never faced charges 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. but there aren't always charges. when students are 16 years or older, by law, sexual misconduct amazingly isn't considered a crime. it's time the state toughened
9:50 am
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
