cousin went to go look for help. juli: one of the kids ran into traffic to stop an oncoming car for help. our partners at "the brockton enterprise" shared this photo with newscenter 5. the woman called 911. the man jumped into the icy water after the kids. >> the first individual who was like nine came out. he was fine. you know what i mean? a little bit shaken and blue in the face. a little bit of water coming out of his mouth and he was fine. juli: the neighbors said it wasn't until brockton firefighters arrived that the older of the two was rescued. they thought he was underwater 5-10 minutes longer. >> it was too cold so he had to come out. the other was still in. juli: there is a fire station just a block from here on crescent street. neighbors said when the firefighters did arrive, the rescue was amazing. unfortunately though there were several minutes when the friends of these boys were running door to door trying to get help and for someone to call 911. in brockton, juli mcdonald, wcvb, newscenter 5. antoinette: boston firefighters want to know what caused a three

8:08 am
side window. the officer was hit three times but survived. police say the suspect confessed saying he did it in the name of islam. >> i don't think he had anything to do with isis or the islamic state or anything like that. i think this was an impulsive act by somebody who wanted to make a mark for himself. antoinette: the attacked officer needed surgery on his arm but was still able to chase the suspect. authorities say he spent some time in egypt in 2013, but they are not calling this an act of terror. doug: a new york city police officer is also recovering after being shot early yesterday morning. it happened while that officer was responding to a fight at a party in the bronx. police say a 19-year-old suspect with a long criminal record shot the officer four times hitting him in the leg. the shooting happened just three hours after he was released from jail on another charge. antoinette: commitment 2016 with new support for hillary clinton. today planned parenthood will formally endorse the democrat at a campaign event in manchester, new hampshire. it's the first time the

8:10 am
pretty much anywhere. doug: for opportunities candidates can't scoop up, expect surrogates to be rallying in their place and volunteers to be making that one-on-one connection. >> you'll see more volunteers in the state. you'll hear those volunteers they'll be knocking on your doors so that part is going to ramp up. doug: plenty of voters still haven't made up their minds. so for the packed republican field, candidates will be working especially hard to distinguish themselves on issues that matter to granite staters. >> that's jobs and the economy. that's national security. that's probably the heroin epidemic. those are the kinds of things that the candidates have to talk about in order to make those final connections. doug: experts also say negative tv ads will start coming on strong funded primarily by candidates' super pacs. but it's getting people to the polls that matters the most especially for the republicans. >> in a campaign on the republican side where the difference between second and fifth could be a couple of thousand votes, getting out the

8:16 am
situation so it won't be a it means you're stuck inside. it's a rainy day outside. the wind is coming in wrapping around this storm system which is moving into west virginia right now. on backside of it, this is where the cold is sitting. that cold by the way will be moving into our forecast as we talk about tomorrow. but today it is all about the there. you can see pretty heavy bands all already starting to push their way through. it is moving its way toward the north. off to the west this is the heavy stuff just about ready to move into worcester right now. up through brookfield down through south bridge. you can see how it goes all the way into parts of connecticut. i'm looking for lightning. i put the lightning scan on this. if you look way out just beyond radar range we are picking up lightning bolts. i won't be surprised to have a rumble of thunder come through this afternoon. that's just how unstable it is. there are the downpours around us at 9:00. watch the temperatures as well. at noon boston is already up to 51. plymouth at 5. hyannis 54.

8:25 am
here on the "eyeopener." >> this is an editorial by wcvb-tv channel 5 president and general manager bill fine. bill fine: open, transparent government is a vital component of our successful democracy but apparently often more preached than practiced in the commonwealth. you want to know where your tax dollars are spent and how government's business is conducted. journalists ask the questions and get answers for you, if they can. accessing public records, however, is a hit-or-miss prospect for journalists and citizens alike depending on who you ask. "5 investigates" mike beaudet, working in partnership with "the globe," enlisted the aid of northeastern university students to test massachusetts's response to public record requests. when asked by an average citizen-- in this case, a student at northeastern-- more than half of the commonwealth's 351 cities and towns failed to respond to requests as outlined by state law. nine police departments and six town halls outright denied requests for records, a clear violation of state law. when we ultimately identified ourselves as journalists, the
8:26 am
records. but the open records law applies to the requests of all citizens. and frankly, quite often journalists all over boston have experienced difficulty obtaining requested records in a timely fashion or without incurring thousands of dollars in processing fees. governor baker and attorney general healy tell "5 investigates" they support government transparency, compliance with the law, and public record reform. perhaps the commonwealth should just put everything on line, dramatically increasing transparency, with far greater efficiency than the current requirements. in the meantime, since the old law isn't working nor enforced, the legislature needs to quickly pass a public records reform bill, one that is clear to all and enacted by all the

aate lot of mid to upper 40's. beverly popped up to 47 degrees. still holding on to cool air here in worcester and fitchburg. quickly. this warm air which is just a few miles away. normal is at 47. lookate the 50-degree readings or lower. 50's that we're talking about. that's the warm air that's pushing in. lot of rain. records today. 56 in boston. the record for worcester 5. we're going to get really close. we may just flat out break these records but the price to pay for it is the rain and the wind that are out there. winds today, high wind warnings right along the shoreline. otherwise it's a wind advisory. this goes into effect at 9:00 this morning. it's really i think the afternoon through the early evening hours. it may be extended a little bit beyond 7:00 p.m. if those winds can really get going. you see what's happening is everything is coming in right off the ocean wrapping around this low pressure system out here into parts of ohio. as it does that, it surges up this warm air. that's where you're seeing your rain going on right now. it's moving in very quickly. no rain early this morning.
8:44 am
now we're seeing showers and heavier bands especially as you look across parts of connecticut. look at this heavy downpour just off shore. that will be cutting its way through providence. although the south shore we haven't seen much rain yet. will track that going through the south shore. you'll be seeing heavier rain before very long. steadier showers up through manchester. a little bit of a break in the action here in boston. as you look toward the cape not much rain so far. but you will get the wind and rain as we push through the morning hours. here's the way it looks in fact. by 10:00 a.m. we've got the downpours across the area. these will be around from noon. we'll see more of it around 2:00 this afternoon. there may be a little blake here and there. not of the cloud cover. not of the rain. at least the intensity will go down. we're looking at anywhere from 1-2 inches of rain out of this. it won't be a problem of any flooding rivers or streams but that much water on to the roads, be careful. there will be some ponding going a. that may slow down travel a little bit. we head towards 8:00 tonight. still a few scattered showers around. but it's still warm enough that we're talking about showers. we're not talking' any snow in this whole event.
8:45 am
certainly after midnight the skies clear away. temperatures will stay warm enough overnight tonight, i'm not worried about ice tomorrow morning but late tonight, early tomorrow morning when the temperature does drop and there's a little bit of ponding here or there, there might be an icy spot here or there but again not a big widespread problem at all. here's what i mean by rainfall totals. an inch to two across the area. that's the way it will be shaping up. a very wet day coming in our direction. what about these winds? they'll be out of the southeast. these are sustainedded winds. the gusts will be stronger than that. strong. later on tonight, the winds switch directions. that is in the dryer air. well. that's one of the reasons i'm not worried about ice too much tonight. tomorrow only 36 degrees for a high temperature. i do have snow in the forecast on tuesday night. very fast-moving clipper out of canada comes through. doesn't have much moisture to work with. isn't hanging around very long. of it. a light accumulation tuesday night into wednesday morning. following that, another shot of
