ease. reid: nancy kerrigan can't recall a time when she didn't know garrett swasey and tonight remains devastated that the "champion figure skater turned cop" died in the line of duty racing to help other officers who were under fire. kerrigan: that doesn't surprise me trying to be there for someone else, to help someone else. reid: swasey and kerrigan trained together in stoneham, both as singles, before the melrose high school grad transitioned to ice dancing becoming a junior national champion in 1992 with partner christine fowler-binder. fowler-binder: i kind of was pushing him probably over the edge at times and he always had the patience to calm me down, and you know, we worked together like brother and sister would. reid: kerrigan recalls swasey as being protective, caring, and nurturing of his skating partners. kerrigan: it was great to have someone like that in my corner. reid: a man who everyone now knows was in everyone's corner. kerrigan: you can't explain it. it's horrific; it's sad. reid: kerrigan says swasey's parents, with whom she is still close, first sent her a text with the terrible news and then spoke with her over the phone.

we could use that rain. notice that we are dry tomorrow. i didn't put dry for today. there's a reason for that. i'm going to talk about that in just a second. significant rain that is coming is coming tuesday afternoon, it looks like, into wednesday. and actually wednesday morning is really when this rain is going to peak in terms of intensity. tuesday night commute, the ride home from work and the ride in to work could be a rough one on wednesday morning. now we did have some showers from this cold front that has now pushed farther to the south. we do have clouds around this morning especially hugging the south coast, the cape and the islands. then we're watching this secondary cold front. today. real he'll just kick up those winds and turn them from the north to the north and east. that northeast wind later today could trigger some ocean-effect clouds and even ocean-effect rain showers for parts of the cape and islands later on this evening and through the overnight hours because there's a big difference in terms of the air temperature versus that water temperature. that water temperature is is still at 50 degrees.

so it's pretty mild. boston. 28 worcester. 26 in orange. but in the mid 40's so far on the cape and the islands so it's milder down there at least for this morning. tomorrow morning everybody is cold. notice those winds right now out of the north and west at about 5-10 miles an hour. that's really where they're going to stay through the day. notice most of us should see brighter skies than yesterday. actually a lot of sunshine through most of the day. and tonight most of us will actually clear out. temperatures though will only warm up into the mid 40's for highs so it's a chillier day out there especially, say, in boston at 45, worcester 43. and even 45 degrees on the cape with some sunshine. so really not budging all that much today. now tonight look at the way the temperatures drop into the 20's through the merrimack valley. 24 worcester. 26 in taunton. and even the low 30's on the cape and the islands.

right around the freezing mark, some of this precipitation may not even be in the form of some rain showers. could be ocean-effect snow showers. yes, i'm talking about that but it doesn't look like there would be any accumulation from this. i do want to show you though the chatham wind forecast. notice those winds start to turn after midnight out of the north and east. they're going to blow anywhere from 10-15. that's why i'm saying that we have that little fetch going on to potentially get at least ocean-effect clouds. that's what the future cast is indicating. notice by midnight, here they come across the cape and the islands and then by about 3:00 or 4:00, you notice one or two hints of some showers or even in ocean-effect flurries out there tonight. so for you folks on the cape, you could be waking up to some of that tomorrow morning. high at thes tomorrow though for all of us only warming up into the upper 30's right around 40 degrees. a lot sunshine yet again tomorrow though but it's cold sunshine. so get used to it. then the rain chances really ramp up on tuesday. i do want to show you the timing on this though. looks like tuesday morning we're

dry. we have clouds around pretty much all day long but notice once we get towards, say, 3:00 or 4:00 and then about 6:00 everybody is start to go see the showers come in. but the heavier bands are really going to come in overnight into first thing wednesday morning. when we're all said and done, what are we talking in terms of rainfall totals? we could see anywhere from, say, about a half an inch to an inch from this system. we could really use that rain because we're down over nine inches for the year on the cape. now temperaturewise, we're going to warm up into the mid 50's on wednesday so it's mild with the rain. that's why it's all rain. it's going to cool back down by the end of the workweek. antoinette and frank. frank: thanks a lot, danielle. time right now is 5:17. a check of the stories we're following right now. antoinette: antoinette: a sea of people hoping to catch a glimpse of the pope on his africa visit. nearly a half-million people turned out to see pope francis in uganda saturday. he honored the country's 19th century christian martyrs who

other than that, mrs. lincoln, how did you enjoy the play? danny amendola is out. even with him tom brady only completed half his passes against buffalo. the broncos lead the nfl with 34 sacks and they have the best pass defense in the league. it's going to be a tough challenge for the patriots. amendola did not travel to denver and will not play tonight. that leaves tom brady with only three healthy wide receivers. guys like brandon lafell and rob gronkowski will need to step up in a big way. >> i'm definitely challenged. when you have a challenge, you have to rise up. the players have to step in. other players have to take on bigger roles. whatever the coaches plan, whatever they design, just as a player you have to go out there and go out there and perform to the best of my ability and do it well. coach: they are very aggressive. i don't think there's anything offense can do to dictate, you know, what they do defensively. they just call their defense. then they, you know, and then they try to, you know, tear your head off. bob: let's hope they're

unsuccessful in tearing tom brady's head off. boston college closed out its football season with an 8th straight loss. 20-17 to the syracuse orangemen. that's sports. have a great day. antoinette: the holiday shopping season is officially underway this weekend parents looking for gifts that offer fun and learning need to look no further. newscenter 5's erika tarantal got the inside scoop from the group "big city moms." >> you step in a toy store and you see hundreds of items. erika: lauren jimeson from "big city moms" says to overwhelmed parents everywhere these could simplify your holiday season. bryce here, our non-scientific control to make sure they're kid approved. pretty obvious this guy's a "yes." lauren explains beatbo sings, dances, and teaches. lauren: their abc's, their numbers and things like that. it has really fun bright colors, lights. >> i love you. it said "i love you" back. erika: this "smart toy bear" also gets a love from bryce. erika: lauren says fine tune motors skills with the "sit to stand alphabet train," a toy that lasts.

that's followed by "matter of fact with fernando espuelas." his guest this week senator tim kain. right now he's on the way to becoming the democrat's nominee for vice president. on to a little sports news. the patriots take on the broncos tonight without wide receiver danny amendola. he did not travel with the team to denver. amendola sprained his knee against the bills last monday. although he returned to practice friday, the decision was made to give him at least a week off. the only three wide receivers available are brandon lafell, chris harper, and keyshawn martin. >> i'm definitely challenged. whenever you see a challenge, you have to rise up. the players have to step in. other players have to take on bigger roles. whatever the coaches plan, whatever they design, just as a player you've just got to go out there and go out there and perform to the best of your ability and do it well. brady: they are very aggressionive. i don't think there's anything offense can really do to dictate what they do defensively. they just call their defense and

try to, you know, tear your head off. frank: brady's wide receiver options have caught a total of 23 passes this year. that's not a lot, if you don't know. lafell, who's only recently back from injury himself; keyshawn martin, questionable; and chris harper, who has never caught an nfl pass. and if the patriot offense struggles, their defense may be able to pick up the slack. patriot defense -- under-rated to begin with -- is second to the broncos in points allowed, and they'll be facing quarterback brock osweiler who's making just his second nfl start. kickoff is at 8:30 tonight. prosecutors in ohio have footage that shows a cleveland police officer fatally shooting a 12-year-old boy. antoinette: ahead this morning what those images reveal and how they could sway a grand jury's also ahead thousands of dollars raised for sick kids. organization making dreams come true. danielle: chilly today but there is a warm-up on the way. and a chance for some heavy

when we could see that ahead. frank: living in tight spaces. i'll show you the ad t[ duck quacking and wind whistling ] [ clacking ] t - hey, jim. - hey, doug. okay. the new turbodown jacket: t tested tough in

if you're doing everything right but find it harder and harder to get by, you're not alone. while our people work longer hours for lower wages, almost all new income my plan -- make wall street banks and the ultrarich pay their fair share of taxes, provide living wages for working people, ensure equal pay for women. i approve this message because together, we can make and create an economy and democracy that works for all and not just the powerful few. >> it's 5:44.

it is definitely a tight squeeze. but this hot trend could get you into some of boston's hottest neighborhoods for less. so, of course, being our tallest reporter, i had to check it out. frank: the new big thing in city living-- small spaces. >> it's small but convenient. very modern. frank: marilyn and rodrigo are harvard graduate students. >> so this is our kitchen. frank: they call this 450 square foot micro apartment in allston home. the price about $2,400 per month. >> for me it's been better than expected frank: there are no real guidelines for micro apartments, but if you can go from the bedroom to the living room to the kitchen this quick, you are probably in one. >> this apartment is small but we are small people. frank: just to give you an idea of how small 450 square feet is, i'm 6'4". i can walk from end to end in about eight steps and touch the ceiling without a ladder. >> it's about what it comes with. frank: in many cases micro apartments allow renters to get access to high amenity buildings at a fraction of the price of a full size unit. here at the continuum there is a

roof deck, a game room and full size gym. >> in the end we are outside a lot. we are in the common areas a lot. frank: small can apparently also have its advantages. >> it's easier to clean. in allston, frank holland, wcvb, newscenter 5. all of this is part of a bigger movement in the boston area. mayor marty walsh has said he wants to add 20,000 units for moderate income families by 2030. >> now your storm team 5 forecast with meterologist danielle vollmar. antoinette: okay. i know we've experienced a locality colder than 30 degrees before. danielle: yes. antoinette: but this time yesterday it was almost 60. it's a shock. danielle: it feels a lot different when it's running 25-30 degrees cooler than this time yesterday. yes, it's cold out there. unfortunately the cold air is going to stick around with us for today as well as for tomorrow. but it will be a brighter day today. ality least for most of us. the only exception unfortunately for you folks on the cape and the islands, you may hang on to the clouds a little bit longer today.

and then there's a rainy period tuesday afternoon into wednesday. it looks like wednesday morning late tuesday night is the timing for the heaviest rain really to move on through. and then big temperature swings this week. we're going up. we're going down. we're everywhere in between. so we are talking about ups and december. the temperatures this morning worcester. 33 boston. nantucket. but you factor in some winds. we do have a wind out of the north and west at about 5-10 right now. it makes it feel even colder outside which is that wind chill value which you dress for. it feels more like 19 degrees in orange. it feels more like 20 in worcester. it feels like the mid 30's on the cape and even the lower 40's on nantucket. now for today, a lot of sunshine those winds will turn from the north to the north and east. as another cold front comes through. we'll see the mid 40's for highs. as you look right now at

satellite and radar, we do have clouds hanging along. basically south and east of the mass pike at this point but they are going to clear out. they were associated with that first cold front that pushed through yesterday bringing us the rain. now the mid atlantic getting in on some of that rain. we're watching this secondary cold front because it will usher in even cooler air as we head towards tonight into first thing tomorrow. with that wind shift out of the north and east, it's actually going to bring in the potential for ocean-effect clouds and maybe some precipitation through the cape and the islands. now i point out chatham here because notice those winds turn after midnight out of the north and east for you folks. notice you keep the clouds around. i want to show you this on the future cast because right the ocean water is at 50 degrees but our air temperature tonight will be in the 30's and 20's so that's a big temperature difference. we have enough moisture to get maybe some clouds and some low-level precipitation to form. i want to show you this on the future cast. by midnight here comes those clouds. notice everybody else is clear

tonight and just plain old cold. once we get towards tomorrow morning, even the future cast is picking up on maybe some mixed precipitation. we're talking about maybe some rain. if it's cold enough, there could even be flurries or some light snow showers for you folks on the cape. of course, it's just a chance. it doesn't mean it's necessarily going to happen. and it looks like it would not be any accumulation. but i just don't want you to be surprised if you wake up to a couple of flurries around tomorrow morning. overnight lows will drop into the 20's and 30's across the area. of course, with the wind, it's going to feel like the teens tomorrow morning. and then tomorrow we're going to struggle to make it to 40 degrees. most spots robel staying in the upper 30's with lots of sun but there is a big change in this forecast. once we get towards tuesday, those winds start to shift to the south and east. the south and finally the south and west. associated with our next system. with that is going to come some rain. by tuesday night we're seeing some heavier rain.

in fact, when ear all said and done, we're talking about rainfall totals in excess of a half an inch to even an inch. i do want to show you this on the sen-day forecast. it was really a half an inch to an inch is what we're talking about. behind this, we turn breezy. we turn colder for your thursday. temperatures drop back into the 40's. that's where they stay as we head towards next weekend. so as i said before, it's up and down on the temperature roller coaster. antoinette and frank? antoinette: danielle, thank you. it's 5:50. we are following breaking news right now on the "eyeopener." frank: after a six-hour manhunt the man accused of killing a police officer in pennsylvania is in custody. 31-year-old ray shelter jr. was arrested overin new florence. he's accused of fatally shooting an officer. the set van officer was responding to a domestic violence call last night when he was gunned down. antoinette: a grand jury weighing whether to charge a
