friendship. the national champion is mourning the loss of her friend and former training partner. kerrigan: we spent every day together probably for a number of years. reid: they were-- in a word-- family, separated only by two years in age, united by one passion on the ice. kerrigan: he was strong and powerful and yet somehow did it with a nice 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 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. all of this hours before any of us knew the sacrifice garrett swasey made. in stoneham, reid lamberty, wcvb, newscenter 5. frank: police in leicester recover an assault rifle in the search for a man allegedly tied to a domestic violence incident.

so be aware of that if you step outside the door. you want to grab a jacket. you're going to need it. now, the big difference today, too, is it's a dry day out there. but notice i didn't put the word "dry" on sunday. there is a reason for that. i'm going to talk about that in just a second but the big story is the significant rain that's coming tuesday pretty much after noon, coming in heavy overnight into first thing wednesday morning. and then it should wind down by wednesday afternoon. it is associated with this same system. this cold front here actually brought us the rain yesterday. it is sagging to the south. we're watching another cold front from canada come through today. this one will be dry but it will kick up the winds. you will feel the difference. these clouds we're seeing this morning should clear the region by about lunchtime or so. in fact, that's what future cast is indicating. watch what happens here. by about 12:00, we are clearing things out except for you folks on the cape and the islands it may take slightly longer to do so. in fact, it may take until 4:00

or so to really see the clearing. then you're going to see more clouds work their way in later on this evening. we are starting in the 20's, 30's, and 40's depending on where you live this morning. but you factor in the winds and it feels more like the teens in worcester like the 20's in boston and the low 30's along the south shore as well. as well as the cape. for today we're only going to warm up into the mid 40's for highs. we'll see brighter skies today. you're going to feel the wind out of the north and east anywhere from 10-15. once that wind does turn to the not and east-- and in chatham, it will do so after midnight-- that's how we get the warmer ocean water. the cold air over the warmer ocean water to kind of come across the region. because of that, watch what happens on the future cast later this evening into the overnight. notice the clouds at midnight starting to push on shore. these are some ocean-effect clouds that are stirring up. through the early morning hours, there could even be some ocean-effect showers or maybe

some ocean-effect snow showers depending on how cold it gets on the cape. again, i'm leaving in a chance for this. i don't want you to wake up and say it looks like it's slight lightly snowing outside. not expecting anything in terms of accumulation but there could be some flurries around or light rain showers to wake up to first thing tomorrow. here's why. temperatures on the cape starting in the 30's right around the freezing mark but a lot of us waking up to temperatures in the 20's. and most of us actually waking up to clear skies tomorrow. the only exception really is the cape and the islands getting that eesh and-effect cloud cover and chance of precipitation. and then tomorrow everybody turns bright and sunny. but look at these highs. we've struggled to make it into the upper 30's, maybe pushing 40 degrees. but it all changes by tuesday because tuesday we're going to have a wind turn to the south. that southerly breeze going to warm things up. of course, with that comes some rain. the first half of the day should be dry. once we work our way into the afternoon, into the evening, we

we could see some heavier downpours even on wednesday morning. how much are we talking about in terms of rainfall totals? anywhere from about half an inch to maybe upwards of an inch in some locations from this system. we could really use the rain because we are down over nine inches for the year in boston. you notice we are mild though on wednesday in the mid 50's. that's why it's in the form of rain. then we turn colder by the end of the week. antoinette and frank. frank: thanks a lot, darn jell. kiem right now is 6:17. following right now. antoinette: pope francis is now on the final leg of his journey nearly a half-million people turned out to see pope francis in uganda saturday. he honored the country's 19th century christian martyrs who were burned alive. take care of the elderly and frank: a tribute to the lives lost on the el faro. florida saturday for the 33 crew members who died when the cargo ship went down during hurricane joaquin.

twitter and facebook associated with it. the good news is the ice storm warnings have been let up except for in kansas. you see this dark purple area but it's been associated with this area of low pressure that has been creeping along a cold front. part of that cold front actually brought us some of the rain showers earlier yesterday. now we're watching a secondary cold front today. this is going to be dry but it's going to bring down even colder air tonight into first thing tomorrow. it's also going to dick up those winds out of the north-northeast at about 10-15 miles an hour. right now there are still some clouds out there in morning. these clouds should quickly clear the region. except for the cape and the islands. you may hang on to them through about lunchtime and even early afternoon before all of us start to see full sunshine. lots of sunshine today but unfortunately the temperatures don't budge that much. as we have that really cold air

moving along the warm ocean waters we get that. there could even be precipitation. we'll talk more about that in just a second. first let's talk about this morning and across the area because we're waking up to temperatures in the 20's and 30's, a few low 40's on the cape and the islands this morning. but that's the milder spot. as we go through the next 12 hours, say, in boston, we're only going to warm up into the mid 40's for highs and again that's really it across the area. so 46 lawrence. 45 nashua. 45 on the cape. maybe the warmest spot 48 degrees on nantucket with a lot of sunshine. and then i said before that cold front comes across the region and turns the winds eventually to the north and the east. that is a wind coming off the water especially in chatham. that's why i point this out because you're going see some cloudy skies and some ocean-effect clouds come in first by about midnight. then because we have some moisture in the air, i do think we could get a few ocean-effect showers maybe in the form of some rain.

they could even mix in to some light snow showers. now if this does happen, we're not talking about much in the way of accumulation. it would just be light flurries but i just want to alert you to this in case you wake up to them tomorrow morning. in fact, you see why. temperatures are starting right and the freezing mark on the cape but in the 20's across most of the area. everybody else by the way is waking up to pretty much clear skies tomorrow. and clear skies through the day. a lot of sunshine. look at these temperatures tomorrow. because of that secondary cold front we're only really going to warm up into the upper 30's, maybe 40 degrees so it's cold again for monday but then big changes happen. we're going to see those winds shift to the south. once they do, they're also going to bring in our next chance for rain which is that area of low pressure and cold front so let's time that out for you on tuesday. notice temperatures also bump up about 10 degrees warmer. so this is in the form of rain when it happens. it could bring some significant rain to some locations. this fact by 6:00, it looks like our latest model now dplaiing it

just a touch. may be in here about the evening ride home but if not the heaviest rain really coming in overnight into first thing wednesday morning and how much rain are we talking about? we could see anywhere from about half an inch to about an inch in terms of rainfall totals. in most locations but notice again temperatures continue to warm up with that southwest wind to the mid 50's on wednesday. then behind it, we turn breezy and colder. that wind turns out of the north and west. we drop back into the 40's to end the workweek. antoinette and frank. antoinette: danielle, thank you. this morning we head to to the small worcester county town of grafton. frank: the heart of that town is its common. this morning, chronicle's anthony everett shows us its unique link to hollywood. anthony: town greens are by design meant to attract people. some can't seem to escape. >> i grew up four houses down. we own the store which is right there on the common.

we live now just ten houses up. the common is my magnet. i call it my magnet that won't let me go. anthony: carol has spent her entire life on the grafton town common where she and her husband craig own the grafton country store. >> yes. my little circumference is extremely small. anthony: the grafton common wouldn't look out of place in vermont, but it's just minutes from the worcester town line. marked by traditional rail fencing and lined with shade trees, the common's centerpiece comes courtesy of hollywood. the movie "ah wilderness" was filmed here in the 1930's. >> they did the movie. they built the bandstand. they left it when they were completed with the movie. so it's been on our town common ever since. anthony: just please don't call it a gazebo. >> i stand corrected. it's not a gazebo. i don't know why it's not a gazebo, but people say it's not

a gazebo. it's a bandstand. >> we tell that to people from out of town that call it a gazebo. antoinette: got it. not a gazebo. get your christmas on with "elf," the musical jose mateo's nutcracker production; fall river's "deck the halls" even danish holiday pastries. plus, a peek at boston's official tree. a sleighful of holiday treats, tomorrow at 7:30 on "chronicle." frank: i like holiday treats. you know i'm a little bit of a grinch but holiday treats are great. antoinette: on the way this morning, lost and found! a charity display for boston's firefighters is back where it belongs this morning. frank: where the stolen boot turned up. and the accused gunman in friday's deadly planned parenthood shooting is now

frank: 6:54. welcome back. right now. the man accused in the shooting deaths of three people at colorado planned parenthood clinic is being held without bail. investigators revealing the suspect used the phrase "no more baby parts" after his arrest. authorities searched his home yesterday. one of the three people killed was a police officer who was a melrose native. antoinette: 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 overnight in new florence. he's accused of fatally shooting

reed. the veteran officer was responding to a domestic violence call last night when he was gunned down. frank: police in leicester recover an assault rifle in the search for a man allegedly tied to a domestic violence incident. "the worcester telegram" reports the suspect is now in custody. he was arrested in royalston. also confiscated by police, several rifle clips and ammunition. antoinette: police are searching for the woman who allegedly posted this photo on facebook-- a dog with its mouth duct-taped shut. investigators are not sure of her exact location. but recently visited connecticut. police in both states are investigating. on beacon hill to raise the legal age of buying tobacco products statewide. nearly 60 state representatives and senators support the measure. it would raise the legal age to buy cigarettes and other products from 18 to 21. health committee could decide a boston fire department boot is back where it belongs. back in may, the boot was stolen from engine 33 along with a

metal box used to collect money for muscular dystrophy and fallen firefighters. on friday, engine 33 responded to a trash fire inside the pru tunnel. that's where they spotted the boot in the debris, but the box full of money is still missing. antoinette: thousands of dollars raised in maine for an organization that makes the dreams of chronically ill children come true. haven's candies hosted the "make your own candy cane" event benefiting the dream factory. that organization, which is celebrating its 28th anniversary, grants the wishes of sick children. frank: very good cause. antoinette: that's how the candy cane is is made. look at that. danielle: i'm getting hungry just looking at that. we have to talk about a major chill in the air at least this morning. it's a big difference when you step outside door. we're start inning the 20's. wind chills are even in the teens in locations. mid 40's today. lots of sunshine for most locations except for the cape. and this morning most of us are actually under some clouds.

we should see some sunshine by afternoon. 39 on monday though. much colder. and then tuesday into wednesday we moderate back into the upper 40's, mid 50's. a good dosing of some rain. we really go need it. down over nine inches for the year. antoinette: today is is not bad for the travelers. danielle: not bad at all if you live in new england. frank: thanks, danielle. you can watch the newscenter 5 newscast any time on the wcvb
