you know their strategy. you not only know their supporters and donors, but now you start to know their strategy. that is certainly an unfair advantage. frank: the sanders's staffer responsible has been fired although he claims he did nothing wrong. again, this morning there is a deal that will allow the sanders's camp to regain access to that database. but everyone will certainly be watching what happens between these two candidates tonight. that showdown in new hampshire is tonight right here on channel 5. coverage starts at 8:00. doug: frank, thanks. right now four people, including two children, are recovering after being hit by a car in lowell. police say the family was crossing fletcher street last night when they were hit. witnesses tell newscenter 5 that they were in a crosswalk. the father who was pushing a stroller rolled right up onto the windshield of the car. neighbors say this stretch of fletcher street is notorious. >> it's a bad street to cross. >> i've almost been hit numerous times out here. it's a terrible, terrible, terrible intersection. doug: everyone in this incident is expected to recover. the driver did stop after the crash.

wind chill values. we haven't talked about it in a while but there are wind chill values to talk about today too. so right now the big story is the temperatures have been dropping and they continue to do so today. yesterday's highs was 52 degrees in boston, running well above average. 49 in worcester but today only going for 40 in boston and 37 in worcester. you can thank this cold front kicking up those winds and also kicking up the lake-effect snow showers off ontario and erie and some of them are getting close enough to our viewing area. so, say, in southern vermont seeing a couple of light snow showers there. through keene and jaffrey a couple of flurries. we can't really rule out a couple more flurries at least through the morning hours. you can see that on the future cast. but once we get through the afternoon, i do think a clearing trend is going to happen. by this evening the skies will clear out. that also means we're going to cool down the temperatures overnight into first thing tomorrow. right now startling out this

1 degrees in worcester. it is 35 in springfield. and 40 right now on nantucket. and then you factor in those winds that are sustained anywhere from about 14-16 miles an hour now. in worcester. so it's making it feel even colder outside. and those are the wind chill values. unfortunately, its feels like the teens out in western mass, like 20 in worcester, and like 27 degrees in boston. and this is is really where they're going to stay through the afternoon. as you notice, high temperatures warming into the upper 30's and low 40's. but it actually feels more like the upper 20's and low 30's with those winds. now tonight winds back off just a touch. temperatures start to drop back into the 20's for pretty much everyone. so it's a chilly night, a chilly start to your sunday but then temperatures should rebound tomorrow because that wind starts to shift from the north and west to the south and west. and we'll see full sunshine tomorrow. so low 40's for highs and a few upper 30's out there.

winds it won't feel as cold as it does today. so the big shift is this. it is cold tomorrow morning to start. and then high pressure starts to turn those winds to south and west. we watch a warm frontal boundary come moving towards our area and by monday afternoon evening, there could be a couple of hit-or-miss showers out there on the map associated with this. the one thing everyone is going to see is a lot more clouds and of course the mild air moving on in. rain chances on the way up as we head through monday and tuesday. low chances those two days but wednesday and christmas eve look like sure bets of getting some rain in here. we could real he'll use that rain. a lot of you are all curious about the pats' game. if you are headed out to gillette this weekend, please bundle up. the air temperature will be 39 degrees. of course, with a little bit of wind it will feel like the low 30's. they are playing the tennessee titans at 1:00. looks like a good game.

we do turn milder on monday back into the low 50's. mid 50's and maybe even pushing near 60 degrees by christmas eve. sera and doug. sera: danielle, thank you. it is 6:18 this morning. time for some of the other stories we're tracking right now. doug: frank is following information as it comes in, including the president making a somber stop before his annual vacation to hawaii. frank: doug and sera. the president and first lady had an emotional meeting with the loved ones of the 14 people who lost their lives earlier this month in the shooting rampage in san bernardino. after the evening visit, the president said they represent the love that exists in this president: we have to remind ourselves of the overwhelming good that exists out there. if you met some of these folks, despite the pain and the heartache that they're feeling, they could not have been more

sanders campaign from getting access to voter information. the sanders camp sued the d.n.c. after the party denied that campaign access to a crucial voter database. that database is a massive list of voters' names, addresses, and past voting habits. the sanders campaign was accused of exploiting a software glitch that allowed them to access voter information collected by hillary clinton's team. the sanders' staffer responsible has been fired although he claims he did nothing wrong. that deal also comes just hours before sanders, clinton, and martin o'malley are set to take the debate stage in new hampshire. this is the only democratic debate scheduled by the d.n.c. in the granite state. and analysts say there is a lot at stake. >> there's a great deal at stake for all three candidates. this is the beginning of the closing arguments. this is that time they have to make a connection to voters. this is their last opportunity before the so-called holiday freeze when everybody pays attention to a bunch of other things for the next ten days. frank: you can watch the democrats debate tonight right

islamic faith in this country. and i am here to assure you that you do not stand alone. janet: the response was thunderous, filled with gratitude. justice gants: we remember who we are and where we came from. the vast majority of americans will stand arm in arm with muslim-americans, and together we will get past these troubling times. lalarulch malik: honest to god, it brought tears to my eyes. janet: why? lalarulch malik: because he meant it from his heart. salma kazmi: it was a really kind and generous thing to do-- to reach out to the community at this time. i think there's a lot of fear and concern. yusufi vali: for him to speak as a jewish-american and speak about the history of, you know, discrimination and just say how he stood with us i thought was deeply affirming. janet: gants later said he was grateful for the personal outpouring of thanks from so many but declined to answer any media questions saying he did not want to politicize his appearance. his reaffirmation that laws protect everyone was juxtaposed to the message in today's sermon.

turn off the news, turn off the noise, turn off this constant bombardment of thoughts and ideas, and just be recommitted. janet: in boston, janet wu, wcvb, newscenter 5. doug: a lovely gesture on behalf of that chief justice. wow. a meeting with santa going viral. sera: the shopping trip one little girl will never forget.

decision to raise interest rates for the first time in a decade viewed as major factors in the a new contract between uber and its drivers will not stop a class-action lawsuit against the ride-share company. a federal judge ruled those drivers suing the company are exempt from the agreement uber sent drivers last week. that agreement has a clause blocking drivers who are technically contract employees class-action lawsuit or any future ones. if uber loses the case, they could have to pay full employee benefits to as many as 100,000 drivers. nearly six million people are now enrolled in health insurance through the affordable care act. that's compared to 3 to 4 million at this same time last year. earlier in the week, federal health officials extended the enrollment deadline because interest was running so high. in the week ahead the report on existing home sales for november comes out on tuesday. and the new home sales report on wednesday. a short week for wall street with the christmas holiday on friday. frank holland, wcvb, newscenter 5.

danielle vollmar. sera: lots of people planning out their shopping adventures today and tomorrow. it's a busy day especially today, but it's cold out there. danielle: it is cold. this is winthrop behind us. it's a beautiful shot. notice a couple of flags flapping about. that's because we have very strong winds. it's making it feel even colder out there today. we have winds sustained at about 14 to 16 miles an hour now out of the west-northwest. although gusts are upwards of 30 miles an hour. that is going to be the case throughout the day today. so that means even though we're checking in at 36 in boston and 31 degrees in worcester, it actually feels more like 27 in boston, like 20 in worcester, and even like the teens out in western mass so be prepared for that. dress for the wind chill values if you're headed out shopping. you're going to need a winter coat. it's all due to this cold front

these winds are riding along lake ontario as well always lake erie where the water temperature is warm. that's creating lake-effect snow showers that are making their way all the way in to southern hampshire. so we have to leave in a chance for some light snow showers or flurries through the day today. jaffrey is reporting now, "i saw some light snow." this is making it to the ground. more of this will come through at least through the morning hours so the future cast is indicating that but then once we go through the afternoon, i do think that we'll start to see more sunshine although it will be cold and the winds will still be pretty strong later on today. highs today warming up into the mid 30's in worcester. upper 30's in boston. low 40's along parts of the south shore and the cape. and then tonight winds will back off just a touch. that will allow temperatures to drop back into the 20's and pretty much all locations tonight.

start for your sunday but then we'll see more sunshine. those winds shift from the north and west to the south and west. that is key so that is going to be a miler wind flow as we head towards the start of the workweek or the holiday week. a lot of you are probably not working. low 40's for highs tomorrow. cold again tomorrow but then here comes the southwest wind and a warm front. this warm front is going to bring in more clouds on monday and again the threat for a couple of showers maybe monday afternoon and evening with it for sure, everyone will turn much milder and will see a lot of clouds on mun muffin. we could really use that rain so the rain chances going up monday, tuesday to a low chance i think. by the time we get to wednesday and christmas eve, it turns wet and damp and much, much warmer. so the next seven days, the reason we're turning warm per say like tuesday where we're going to be in the mid 50's is because this jetstream is going to back away and push that

turn us milder as we head towards the holiday. temperaturewise in the mid 50's on tuesday. 50 on wednesday. and a little cooler that day because we're going to have a lot of rain around i think on wednesday. even christmas eve there could be some showshz around, i think, with temperatures near 60 degrees. and then behind it, still the lowe 50's with lots of sunshine for christmas. sera. sera: danielle, thank you. boston police hunting down new clues in a decades-old murder mystery, and "5 investigates" is karen anderson reports more evidence in the decades-old cold case in baltimore is pointing sgt. det. bill doogan: i grew up in this neighborhood. karen: for these two boston homicide detectives, the case of an unidentified girl found years ago 1,500 miles away is now personal. sgt. det. bill doogan: the tip that came in to baltimore indicated that their jane doe
