way, danielle. sounds pretty good. danielle: frank, antoinette, it sounds really good and especially after we're starting off this morning with temperatures in the 20's and 30's in most locations. right now it's currently 24 in orange, 25 springfield. 34 in worcester. cape. you factor in those winds and we have a little bit of it. it makes it feel more like the 20's through orange, worcester, mid 30's in boston. but don't worry. we're going to start to warm these temperatures up as we go through the day today. so we're looking for highs to reach anywhere from the upper 40's to low to mid 50's. lots of sunshine out there. and that westerly wind at about 5-10. high pressure is dominating our weather not only today but also for tomorrow. big changes are coming from this cold front. we'll talk about when we will cool down and when we could get much-needed rain ahead. antoinette and frank. antoinette: danielle, thank you. breaking overnight. isis militants confirm the two california shooters were supporters of the terror group. members of isis, making the

8:03 am
year came after she met him on a matrimonial website. malik gave an address in this pakistani town when she applied for her american finance visa in 2014-- an address, abc news has discovered, does not exist. and now officials are questioning whether she was the one who radicalized her husband. yet the f.b.i. confirming the couple was not on any terrorist watch list. expert lanny marcus says it's a case of home-grown terrorists flying beneath the radar made harder to catch because the plotters were husband and wife. lanny marcus: if they're able to talk with one another in the confines of their own home and they haven't done anything suspicious, they're not detected before they do an attack. mary: syed farook's family says they never saw this attack coming. they describe malik as a quiet, devout muslim housewife. farook's brothers say they never even saw her face because she always wore a burqua. i'm mary saladna, wcvb, newscenter 5. antoinette: breaking overnight. a u.p.s. facility in southern california is evacuated after a driver noticed a package sent to

8:12 am
getting hurt. karen: the commissioner spoke at an interfaith service organized to reassure the muslim community feeling pressure following the california shooting and paris attacks. other faiths also sending a unified message. >> we all stick together with you. you are our brothers and sisters. >> i hurt. my heart hurts and i'm disgusted viscerally when i see expressions of islam-phobia or racism. >> we have a responsibility now to be there when they're feeling alone. karen: the director of the roxbury mosque encouraging the community to stand against violence. he says that's not what islam is about. those who attack others are criminals, not part of their religion. >> the boston we're about sticking together and standing together. we know that violence has no race, no religion, no creed. we have to work together to
8:13 am
loving, and healthy community. karen: boston also stands out from other parts of the country according to the muslim leaders. for every one recent hate message, the mosque has received about 30 messages of support. karen anderson, 5 investigates. >> now your storm team 5 forecast with meterologist danielle vollmar. antoinette: slowly but surely, we are warming up this morning. we're now up to 37 degrees. danielle: we're getting there. it will take its time though. we started out this morning in the 20's in spots. the wind chills making it feel like the 20's in spots. we will warm up into the low 50's to mid 50's today. by tomorrow, the upper 50's, maybe a few spots pushing at 60 degrees. then the 50's on monday, 40's back on tuesday. we should be around 45 degrees this time of year. so we will take this warm stretch of weather in the days that are coming. already the days in december have been pretty warm.
8:14 am
above normal. that red box is going to continue into this weekend. we'll tick off the red. as you look, here's what we expect today. it's cool to start off your saturday but we're warming up over the weekend. and then we're watching an ocean storm on tuesday. we're going to watch this track really carefully. depending on how close it gets to will depend on how many will become involved in this storm system. right now, 41 boston. 34 in worcester. 24 in orange. that's the big temperature difference in the 20's through parts of southern new hampshire and for today, you're going to warm up into the upper 40's, low to even mid 50's in some spots, i think. the winds are out of the west at about 5-10. really not much in the way of cloud cover as high pressure continues to dominate our weather. and it will do so not only today but for tomorrow and even into monday. we are watching this cold front area of low pressure that is
8:15 am
chance for rain as it redevelops off the coastline. but first for today into tomorrow, high pressure slides off shore. around it those winds go clockwise so we'll see a southwest wind develop for the air. as we head through the afternoon tomorrow. now tonight because we have clear skies, temperatures will drop back into the 20's through the merrimack valley. 30 in worcester. mid 30's in boston. but then tomorrow with full again. low to mid 50's. upper 50's and maybe even near 60 in some spots. so we are dry not only saturday but sunday and monday. here comes that rain chance on tuesday from that area of low pressure. so let's talk more about tuesday and break it down for you. notice i have showers south of the region. the reason i do that is because we're watching this area of low pressure. we're going to watch how closely it tracks our coastline. right now the latest models are
8:16 am
around the cape, the islands, and maybe even closer now to boston. notice the rain up near the boston area by wednesday. it looks like we're looking for a tenth of an inch to maybe upwards of a half an inch if that heavier rain band moves across parts of nantucket. of course, if this comes closer to us, more areas like worcester, even new hampshire, could get involved with the rain. otherwise we're talking about mild conditions through the weekend. then we cool down behind this system into the 40's. we're back up to near 50 on friday. but i just want to remind you that the weekend looks nice. and tomorrow some areas in the first week of december could flirt with 60 degrees. that sounds pretty nice. right, antoinette and frank. antoinette: you don't have to remind us. we know. we're watching that 60 degrees. time right now is 8:17. a check of the stories we're following right now. frank: a close call for passengers on a runway in india. a plane carrying 53 people struck a herd of wild boar after landing on a runway in india. seven boars were killed.
8:17 am
hurt. you can see passengers evacuating the tipped jet. damage to the plane is being assessed. antoinette: the melrose-native, killed in an attack at a planned parenthood in colorado, is laid to rest. hundreds packed a colorado springs church yesterday to say goodbye to officer garrett swasey. he was gunned down responding to a call last friday. the governor praised the campus police officer for sacrificing his life for others in the shooting and told swasey's two children that colorado is a much better place because of their father. frank: a humpback whale that had been trapped in cape cod bay is now free. crews from the center for coastal studies in provincetown disentangled the endangered whale yesterday. the whale then swam out of the bay. experts expect the animal to be okay. antoinette: this is something you can't make up. a man named bud weisser was arrested at the budweiser brewery. the 19-year-old was cited for
8:18 am
arrest. police were called to the st. louis brewery after security officers told weisser to leave a restricted area and he refused. it's unclear how weisser got inside in the first place. frank: a heck of a show between the bruins and the flames. but the flames come out on top. the clubs traded goals throughout the first and second period. 3-3 in the third when brad marchand gets slashed by former bruin dougie hamilton. marchand scores on a penalty shot. but the flames tie it up before the end, and we go to o.t. the flames find the back of the net. 5-4 the final. the b's are in vancouver to take on the canucks tonight. antoinette: meet the newest member of the boston red sox. the team introduced david price yesterday at fenway park. he signed a seven-year $217 million contract with the team earlier this week. the 30-year-old left-hander said
8:19 am
new city has to offer. price will wear number 24. we look forward to more wins in the season, right. frank: he says he's saving them for the sox. we'll see. antoinette: we'll tell you about the easy to eat foods that actually make you hungrier. and ebay is following facebook's lead. the new policy for new parents that may be catching on. antoinette: and blue skies and sunshine but it's cold.
8:20 am
danielle: welcome back. i'm meteorologist danielle vollmar. lots of sunshine out there but temperatures are still cool in some spots. 41 degrees right now in boston. 34 in worcester worcester. 28 in nashua. if you're headed out first thing, grab a coat. as you go through the day today, low to mid 50's in spots. sunshine. full sunshine tomorrow. upper 50's, maybe flirting with 60 degrees in a few locations. if you're headed out to gillette tomorrow night for the 4:25 game the pats are taking on the eagles. 50 degrees. i always say it. go, pats! although that's a tough one for me because i do like the eagles too. all right. just throwing it out there. but i like the pats. we are waiting for snow. but we have none to date at this point. on average we should have 1.8
8:21 am
in worcester last year we had 7.5 inches of snow. today. and go, pats! antoinette: there you go. all right, danielle. pats." antoinette: that was an extra. if you're still hungry after something to do with what you ate. that can actually make you hungrier. bread. a recent survey found that people who ate two or more servings a day were 40 percent more likely to become overweight or obese over a five-year period. juicing may be a hot trend, but it can spike your sugar levels without that fiber from the pulp or skin. try a whole fruit smoothy instead. this one might affect you, antoinette, because you drink a lot of coffee. and if you add artificial sweetener to your coffee, you could end up giving into a sweet craving later in the day. boomerangs back around. antoinette: so the large pizza and the diet coke just aren't cutting it, i guess?
8:22 am
for you. antoinette: (laughing) boston mayor marty walsh says he won't back down in his fight against a casino in revere. frank: his response to a legal loss for the city. a high school freshman is accused of posting violent threats on facebook. how the unsettling case played out. antoinette: and a live look over worcester this morning. thank you so much to everyone waking up with us. you're waking up under sunshine and blue skies this morning. a warm-up is on the way. danielle has more after this. >> this is an editorial by wcvb-tv channel 5 president and general manager bill fine. bill fine: "just another day in america." that is how the bbc opened their coverage of the san bernadino mass shooting. that may sound callously flippant, but it's also true. as the global leader in a disturbing category, the number of mass shootings in america exceeds calendar days this year. the world was galvanized in anger and resolve after terrorists shot 130 people in paris. yet, more than twice that number
8:23 am
america. the simple phrase, "enough is enough," seems as well-worn as the expressions of sympathy and prayers for the many victims. if virtually any other product was killing 30,000 americans a year, there would be a call to action, congressional hearings, and legislation designed to reduce that staggering total. there is no other civilized nation with the same epidemic. to be clear-- we are not advocating for confiscating guns, which is a red herring used to stymie common-sense reforms. the truth is, this is no longer just a political, cultural, or second amendment issue. this is a major public safety problem. congress can enact simple safeguards, designed to take no one's freedoms away, but will almost certainly save innocent lives. enacting mandatory background checks, a 48-hour waiting period, and closing the gun show loophole are just a few of the many measures which, at long last, need a sense of urgency to pass. and no political leader can justify the current loophole
8:24 am
own terror watch list to legally purchase a gun. buying sudafed is more difficult than acquiring an assault rifle at a gun show. these few recommendations, among many that should be considered, are not safeguards pushed by gun haters. universal background checks are supported by nearly 90% of americans and 75% of the n.r.a..'s own membership. will these safeguards stop all mass killings? no. but if they save one life-- and it was your loved one-- it's worth it. t[ duck quacking and wind whistling ] [ clacking ] t

8:26 am
y luna. >> now on newscenter 5's "eyeopener." frank: breaking overnight. isis confirming the couple behind the california shooting rampage supported the terror group. the message the militants issued this morning. danielle: a frosty start to your saturday. when the temperatures will feel more like october than december. antoinette: convicted football star aaron hernandez moved to a segregated prison unit. what guards claim they found in his cell. frank: a high school freshman accused of making threats the disturbing allegations and how investigators tracked him down. >> you're watching wcvb, boston's news leader. good morning! this is newscenter 5's "eyeopener." frank: it's 8:30 on this saturday morning. i'm frank holland. antoinette: and i'm antoinette antonio along with danielle vollmar. this is one of those mornings where it feels really good to sit next to a window. and look out.
8:27 am
danielle: if you actually step outside the door, it doesn't feel as nice because right now it's so cool, in the 30's and even 20's still back to keene, concord, orange, springfield this morning. but even boston checking in at 41 degrees. now you bring in a little bit of wind and look what it actually feels like outside. 35 degrees there. feels more like 27 in worcester and that's that wind chill value which is what you dress for. so we are going to see these temperatures bump up as we head through the afternoon into the upper 40's and even low 50's to a few mid 50's in spots. 52 your high in boston. 50 in lawrence. with lots of sunshine. high pressure really dominates our weather giving us full sunshine not only today but also as you head through the day tomorrow. then we are watching back through the west a cold front, an area of low pressure. this is a slow-moving system which will eventually impact our weather.
8:28 am
not only for today but also for sunday and into monday. and then those rain chances are actually going to bump up on tuesday but it looks like it may only be for parts of the area as this area of low pressure develops off our coastline and becomes an ocean storm. so we're going to talk more about who can expect that much-needed rain as well as the cooldown that follows. antoinette? antoinette: danielle, thank you. breaking overnight. isis militants confirming the california rampage shooters were supporters of the terror group. the group made this announcement for the first time this morning on their official radio station. the f.b.i. is already investigating the shooting as an act of terrorism. frank: right now convicted murderer aaron hernandez is being held in segregated prison unit.

8:30 am
with everything that's going on around the world and all that. sera: the post was quickly taken down, but others captured a screen shot. it wasn't until thursday when a parent and student reported the threat to school officials. brockton police traced the post's i.p. address to a cell phone and found the alleged hacker. quickly. sera: the superintendent released a statement saying, "we informed parents as soon as we had a handle on the situation and added extra police presence and more administrators at the school even though our training indicated it was not a credible threat. this is the reality of what we deal with in the world today." sera: this is the fifth threat made against the high school in last eight months. in brockton, sera congi, wcvb, newscenter 5. antoinette: cambridge students dealing with increased security at school after another anonymous threat. officers patrolled buildings and restricted some access, after the threat of gun violence. school officials refused to reveal the specific threats but say safety is the top concern.
8:31 am
whether they are children or teachers, you can't teach and learn. safety is the bottom line. so we take everything very seriously, and we assume that something is a credible threat unless we know otherwise. antoinette: the threats started right after the terror attacks in paris. this is the third such incident this week. frank: no bail for the man charged with stealing weapons from an army reserve center in worcester. james walker-morales appeared in federal court in worcester yesterday. he was arrested in new york on november 18, days after being accused of stealing 16 guns from the facility. several of the weapons have a dorchester woman is also charged in the case. the woman whose body was found in a burning car in worcester has been identified. firefighters found 35-year-old marie martin of webster after they doused the flames.
