once we get past that rain, temperatures overall pretty seasonal this week. average high this time of year now is just 54. i know we had three days last week in the 70's so we're trending closer to average especially by the middle of the week. you can see it's pretty nice afternoon on the way. we're going to be up near 60 later today. make sure you have the jacket this morning. layers you can shed later on because look at this. 32 lawrence. 35 worcester. 31 in plymouth. hyannis 40 degrees. boston 44 but in between there are some 20's in the suburbs this morning. start. skies are clear right now. we'll have sunshine with us all day long. by lunchtime, we should be up into the mid 50's. sun sets at 4:28. it should still be in the lower 50's as you're heading home. looking for a high temperature today up near 60 boston. mid to upper 50's to the worcester hills. winds. well. we're in great shape today. high pressure in control. down the coast, area of low pressure coming out of the gulf spreading rain all the way up through the carolinas.

some of this rain is heavy. also watching down near the bahamas this morning a tropical depression. this is td12 that formed over the weekend. it's forecast to strengthen into tropical storm kate. you can see it's forecast to stay off shore. some of that moisture may try to interact with that system coming up from the south. so let me play things out for you as i see them. as we look for increasing clouds overnight tonight. temperatures by tomorrow morning upper 30's to the lower 40's. not as cold when you're stepping out tomorrow morning. we'll watch that system spread in with rain moving in late in the day and really tomorrow night is the heaviest rainfall through first part of wednesday morning. as this low strengthens off shore there will likely be a period of northeastly winds coming up overnight tuesday night until about midday on wednesday where we could see 30-40 miles per hour especially on cape cod. i think the heaviest rain is really going to be focusing eastern and southeastern massachusetts where we could see close to an inch of rain. lesser amounts farther north and west. beneficial rain coming on in.

i think the biggest impacts will be the tuesday evening commute and especially the wednesday morning commute. take a look at the timing here. no problems tomorrow morning. that rain initially spreads in late in the day tomorrow. heaviest during the overnight hours into first thing on wednesday morning which is of course veterans day. rain should be pushing off shore by about lunchtime or so. afternoon. another chance of a few showers coming up on thursday afternoon and then dryer but a little cooler by next weekend. only around 50 dises. 70's were nice. olessa: it's november. so far it's a quiet start on the roads for the most part here on the expressway we did have problems early this morning. northbound side we were watching delays into the o'neill tunnel with late-running construction. then an accident in that same stretch. we had pretty heavy volume. as you can see it looks better now. south of there though still watching a crash route 3 north by the braintree split. your delays back to weymouth with that one. the expressway is about 30 braintree to boston. also a disabled car by the allston/brighton eastbound on

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 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

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 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 criminal consequences. since 1961, pearle vision has been providing expert eye care. today, we make caring for your eyes even easier by accepting most major health
