6:12 am
antoinette: good morning. 6:12. welcome back. more than 25 million americans are in the path of severe weather slamming much of the country right now. from snow to ice and in parts of texas you see here flash flooding has now turned deadly. at least three people have been killed and the threat is not over yet. the middle of the country dealing with a deadly mix of ice, snow, and rising waters. flooding has already killed at least three across north texas. all were drivers trapped in their cars. this young sheriff's deputy was almost number four. 26-year-old crystal salizar of the sheriff's office almost drown when trying to rescue a woman. >> report of a female in a car that stalled. she could not get out of the vehicle and the water is rising in her car. >> she saw that a lady's life was in danger and went into the water to make that rescue. antoinette: soon she would be the one in need of a rescue. as the deputy approached the car
6:13 am
swept away. >> she was found by the fire department downstream clinging to a tree branch. antoinette: the duty is safe and dry. from north texas to southern illinois flash flood watches remain in effect. some places could see up to a half foot of rain. in the texas panhandle, it's not water. it's ice causing travel trouble this long holiday weekend. in oklahoma, ice even bringing down power lines and in kansas, road conditions are not for the faint of heart. frank: 6:14 right now. danielle, pretty severe weather there but looking at the radar, a little bit better here. danielle: not too bad here. we're talking about light rain showers. we really need the rain. we're down over nine inches for the year in boss torch but it will be in the form of rain because it's mild outside. have you stepped outside this morning. antoinette: i did. i was like, whoa, not bad. i'm hearing that there's a cooldown coming. antoinette: it is coming, antoinette. this is the reason why we're
6:14 am
seeing those showers this morning. this is also going to bring in some much colder air from canada but it's taking its time getting here so as for what's happening right now, just some right lane showers around the area. you can see mainly confined to the massachusetts/new hampshire border. essex county getting a little bit now. metro west, too, seeing somement then back through western mass. all this is going to shift farther to the south as we go through the morning hours. so, say, about 9:00 or so, notice the showers shifting in to boston, worcester, mainly north of the mass pike. and then shifting south of the mass pike so the south shore, the cape gets in on the action by about lunchtime. and it's going to continue through early afternoon, i think, before it winds down and gets out of here this evening. and this evening actually the skies are going to clear out a bit but temperatures are really going to drop like a rock. right now upper 50's in boston. mid 50's in lawrence and beverly. but look at concord.
6:15 am
here comes that colder air. it continues to drop and get cooler as we go through the day. so in boston, we're going to hang on to the 50's until about 10:00 or so. and then watch. by lunchtime, we're at 48 degrees. by mid afternoon the mid 40's. by this evening, we're dropping back into the 30's so if you're headed out tonight, grab a winter coat. i would definitely grab a jacket if you're headed out even today and also bring an umbrella because there will be on again off again showers throughout the afternoon. not talking about much in the way of rain though. only about a tenth of an inch or so. then overnight tonight into first thing tomorrow, look at these overnight lows. valley. worcester county. 30 newscenter 5 boston. as well as the south shore. and upper 30's on the cape and the islands. and then tomorrow we'll see pretty much full sunshine, i think. upper 40's though for highs. the winds out of the north at about 5-10. so it's a chillier start. not only for tomorrow but also for monday.
6:16 am
in fact, monday look at these overnight lows. in the 20's. maybe a few teens even out there on the map. through the day on monday, we only warm up into the upper 0's, low 40's. yes, these are the high temperatures. then we have a warm front come through on tuesday. that warm front is going to trigger showers and rain, steady, heavy rain beginning tuesday night into wednesday morning. and lingering pretty much all day wednesday. notice temperatures will be in the 50's though and then we turn much colder behind that cold front on wednesday night into thursday. so then temperatures drop back into the 40's. it becomes breezy on thursday. it's going to feel very different from wednesday to thursday but, hey, most of the week is actually pretty mild. antoinette and frank. antoinette: we're bracing ourselves, danielle, thank you. time now is 6:17. a check of the stories we're following right now. frank: police say four black lives matter protestors were injured during a rally in seattle. hundreds of people marched black friday shoppers swarmed stores in the downtown area.
6:17 am
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 burst into flames during take-off from las vegas. everyone on board escaped safely. the ntsb later determined a failure in the high-pressure compressor sparked the flames. a large shard of american rocket debris has been pulled out of the water off england's coast. an official with the maritime and coast guard agency said it appears to be from the unmanned space-x falcon nine. it exploded shortly after take-off from cape canaveral back in in june. the large piece of debris has been hauled out of the water. >> now sportscenter 5 with bob halloran. bob: it was a bull gang friday at td garden. bruins in the afternoon; celtics in the evening.
6:18 am
between. from ice to parquet in two hours. we begin on ice. bruins and rangers. visitors take a 3-2 lead midway through the third. ryan spooner and david krejci score goals two minutes apart in the closing minutes. spooner on the powerplay, his 5th. krejci with a slapshot deflected in front, his 9th. the bruins extend their winning streak to five games. 4-3 the final over the rangers. b's by day, c's by night taking on and blowing out the washington wizards. david lee underneath the two. isiah thomas underway with 21 points and a big night for jarryd sullinger. 18 points and 15 boards. the celtics led by as many as 38 points and settle for a 111-78 win. here is a look a patriot linebacker jamie collins at his first practice in over three weeks. out all that time with an undisclosed illness that kept him away from his teammates and away from gillette stadium. collins is listed as doubtful for tomorrow night's game in denver. danny amendola was also at

6:20 am
we think the first time a consumer uses one of the new cards, they might fumble around a little bit if they're not used to it. nikole: it's not just customers. while many retailers have updated their terminals to read these new chip cards, others are still in the process. >> we're hearing delays of months. nikole: retailers blaming the banks which are pointing the finger right back. johnson: for the retailer, please turn the machines on because that gives them extra 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
