5:13 am
not as bad as that. dna just rain showers. we could use the rain we're down over nine inches for the year in boston. antoinette: not back to the 60-degree temperatures? danielle: it's a shock. it's still in the 50's this morning. we're still mild but through the day you're going to feel the difference when you step outside the door later this afternoon with temperatures falling into the 40's. let's go to the weather mappedz and show you what's going o first of all i want to point out that that dark purple color on the map is actually is ice storm warning for parts of oklahoma and texas. they also have went he storm warnings down in that area. it's associated with this area of low pressure low pressure. this cold front extends back to southern new england. that's why we're experiencing some showers actually out ahead of that system. right now it's very light in nature. and mainly confined to new hampshire and western mass. now moving into parts of essex county along the cape ann area. gloucester seeing some, newburyport to portsmouth. locally heavier amounts moving
5:14 am
towards, say, portland, maine, and thereafter. as we go through the morning hours and into the afternoon, the showers become a little more numerous and a little more widespread. notice by about 9:00 or so, we do have showers from boston to worcester back to springfield. mainly north of the mass pike. then all this energy shifts to the south. by lunchtime now, if south shore, the cape, you're getting in on some of this shower activity. i say shower activity because we're not expecting many downpours from this. just light rain showers. but as we get towards lunchtime, you're also going to feel the chill in the air as this cold air comes on in from this cold front. by about 2:00 or 3:00 a couple of lingering showers especially in eastern massachusetts. once we get towards, say, 6:00 or 7:00, i think things begin to wind down. so if you have any outdoor plans later tonight, if you're heading out this evening, you may not even need an umbrella terms of how much rain we're talking about really not that much. maybe a tenth to two tenths of an inch of rain.
5:15 am
anything we can get we welcome. if you're stepping outside the door right now, big change in the air. well its in the 50's so far but later today, it's going to be in the 40's. in fact here's your 12-hour timeline on everything. notice we stay in the mid 50's through about 7:00. by 9:00, the low 50's. by 11:00, the upper 40's. and by 3:00, the mid 40's. so notice as it starts to rain, it's actually going to be a cool, chilly, damp kind of raw day outside. and then tonight grab a coat. a winter coat, that is, if you're headed outside the door because temperature s are going to drop overnight into the 30's and even the 20's and then tomorrow look at these high temperatures, only l only upper 40's and even a few mid 40's with a lot of sunshine. but it's still cold sunshine. it's not only cold for sunday but take a look on monday. monday is actually the coldest day in the search-day forecast. highs only warm up into the upper 30's and a few even mid 30's on the map.
5:16 am
then big changes happen as we watch our next storm system. it's going to be a mild one though with a southwest wind out ahead of it meaning that it will be in the form of rain but we will see rain showers beginning tuesday night, i think, into wednesday. the heaviest rain really coming through wednesday morning, i think. into early afternoon. and then we turn colder behind this on thursday into friday still not a bad-looking seven-day forecast. antoinette and frank. antoinette: not bad at all. time now is 5:17. a check of the stories we're following right now. frank: police say four black lives matter protestors were arrested and one officer was injured during a rally in seattle. hundreds of people marched through the streets just as black friday shoppers swarmed stores in the downtown area. police say they stopped protestors from entering a shopping center where a tree-lighting ceremony was being held. that same ceremony was disrupted last year. antoinette: some of the passengers on board this british airways plane that caught fire in september have filed suit against boeing. the engine of the boeing 777

5:20 am
johnson: for the retailer, please turn the machines on because that gives them extra levels of protection as well. nikole: another issue-- security. with some chip cards requiring a signature rather than a pin. >> pins are more secure and they're faster. johnson: we don't want you to have to input a pin. we don't want the transaction to be dependent upon the card number. nikole: a chip card controversy changing how you purchase. in washington, i'm nicole killion reporting. frank: when it comes to christmas lights, can you ever have too many? antoinette: is there such a thing as too much? the neighborhood disputes about a tradition that some say sometimes goes way too far. and banding together after a season of tragedy off the field. the local high school players who are supporting each other through some of life's toughest times. frank: a live look at the city boston right now. a lot of you getting up to go shopping this morning, i'm sure. 55 degrees out there.

5:43 am
it doesn't feel like it should start but the ski season officially kicked off yesterday at wachusett mountain. you can see that picture there. it's hard to believe that it kicked off yesterday with temperatures in the 60's and 50's and even at this hour, we're starting out in the 50's. i want to show you that right now. 57 boston. 51 on the cape. 52 on nantucket. and the mid 50's even through lawrence and beverly. so it's a mild start out there but big changes are happening. it will be a colder finish today with some showers around. it's cold and dry for sunday and even into monday and then temperatures swing back up with a warm-up midweek. of course with that comes in rain. here's what's happening. you see we're mild not only in boston but also in new york city and back through washington d.c. but then look off to the north and west and it's a chilly 16 degrees right now in minneapolis. 36 right now in syracuse. so colder air is going to work its way in. of course, it's all coming in
5:44 am
the way of a cold front. that cold front going to give us chances for showers through the morning and into the afternoon. also a very strong area of low pressure developing giving the midwest and parts of kansas, oklahoma and texas a major ice storm for today. as well as yesterday. i want to show you closer to home we're not talking about ice. it's just light rain showers obviously. with temperatures in the 50's. but it's mainly hugging the massachusetts/new hampshire border at this point. all this will be pushing farther to the south as we go through the day today. timingwise. about 8:00 or 9:00 showers now extended into boston, worcester, back through springfield. notice they're kind of following the mass pike and places north of it. once we get past 9:00, then places south and east of the showers. they continue through lunchtime, i think into early afternoon. then i think things will begin to wind down by this evening and the skies actually start to clear out. and then the cold air really
5:45 am
works in with clear skies. we are going to see those temperatures really drop. in terms of how much rain we're talking about, maybe a tenth of an inch to two-tenths of an inch. not that much so it's not very impressive although we'll take anything we can really get. we could use the rain. temperatures falling by lunchtime in the 40's. by afternoon mid 40's in boston. so you're going to feel the difference. it's a chilly rain. if you're headed out right now, if it gets mild, you're thinking you don't need a coat. by this evening you'll need a winter coat into first thing tomorrow morning. look at these overnight lows. 20's through the merrimack valley. 30's through boston. so this cold front brings in colder air so monday is sunny, dry, but very cold. and it continues on monday and then milder air finally works its way back in as we head towards tuesday and wednesday. with that some much-needed rain. so let me show you that rain on tuesday. the warm front lifting through first so tuesday afternoon, i think we're still dry.
