here going into february. it won't look so bad as temperatures this morning are starting in the mid 30's on nantucket. the low 30's on the cape. low 30's in boston. but still in the interior, you're waking up to temperatures really in the 20's. now you might see some wind out there today or at least feel the wind. we have wind gusts in excess of about 25 miles an hour out in western mass. that is creating a bit of a wind chill. so if you are stepping outside the door right now, 24 degrees is what it feels like in boston. but it feels more like 11 degrees in worcester. as we go through the next 12 hours here's what's going to happen. we'll warm up. we'll see full sunshine through lunchtime or so and then the clouds increase through the afternoon. we are warming up into the upper 30's and low 40's for highs depending on where you live. you can see this 40 degrees through the merrimack valley. 40 in boston. also 40 on nantucket. but big changes are coming. we'll talk about when we could see the 50's in the seven-day forecast ahead.

antoinette: danielle, thank you. right now, dozens of suspected vulnerable teens locked behind bars. federal agents and police unleashing a sweeping crackdown on the ms-13 gang. violent recruitment methods on the eye's frank holland with the arrests and some relief for neighborhoods terrorized by the gang. antoinette. ms-13 is a notorious international street gang and its membership has been growing. investigators say gang members recruited students as young as 14 from area high schools in chelsea, everett, and east boston. police say gang violence cut wilson martinez's life short. the 15-year-old stabbed the day before school started last year. with at least five murders tied to the gang, the arrests bring relief but not a rescue from the violence so many here fear. >> probably fewer chances for

but danger is always out there. frank: investigators say the gang is ruthless. its motto -- kill, rape, and control, the f.b.i. laid out charges against 56 alleged ms-13 members. the charges include murder, drug trafficking, gun violations, and immigration offenses. doug? doug: frank, thanks. big trouble on a side street in roslindale. live power lines trapping a cement truck driver for hours. all that electric current making it too dangerous for him to get out. newscenter 5's juli mcdonald with the rescue caught on camera. juli: a loud boom followed by darkness. roslindale neighbors had no idea what was going on friday evening when they suddenly lost power. neighbor: i just looked out the window and saw the police cars going by. then i heard the fire engines coming. that's when i came out to see if my neighbors were okay. juli: when they came outside, this is what they saw. a concrete truck tangled in power lines. driver joe smith said he was pulling away from a job in this robken/hazelmere neighborhood when he heard the crack of a telephone pole to his left.

down. the sparks flew in. i hit the brakes and ducked. everything in this truck is metal. i just stayed exactly where i am. juli: forced to sit tight until eversource arrived to turn off the power. newscenter 5 watched crews carefully treat the wires before they began to pull them away from the truck. another eversource truck eventually arrived with a new pole, but neighbors knew it would be a while until their lights came back on. neighbor: one of the officers said it would be at least overnight. juli: smith said he's trained to always be on the lookout for low wires, but it is hard to see them the dark. driver: when you're on a street they're not supposed to be that low, so you don't expect that to happen. juli: smith said the height of his truck is 13 feet and wires are supposed to be 15 feet high. another issue that made this even more complicated is that there were still wet concrete in the back of that truck so even once the wires came down and were tangled around it, that drum kept rolling the whole time.

51-year-old maureen mcpadden sued after she was fired from the seabrook store. she claims she was let go after reporting safety concerns about her co-workers. >> staffing conditions became deplorable. they were inexperienced, untrained, and insufficient support staff which created a public safety concern. antoinette: her lawyers say this case is important because it discrimination and public safety were taken seriously. walmart denies any wrongdoing saying mcpadden was fired for losing her pharmacy key, and she had been disciplined before. verdict. a new warning from the new hampshire attorney general. doug: tax season may be just beginning, but the a.g. is already seeing a rise in i.r.s. scams. the eyeopener's frank holland is back with the advice from experts on how to avoid becoming a victim. scammers posing as i.r.s. agents calling thousands of people across the country. the new hampshire a.g.'s office has received more than 50 complaints just this week.

look at this. sunday near 50 degrees. and by monday the mid 50's. we are on the way up. our average high temperature this time of year should be around 36 degrees. if you remember back last year, the month of february was one of the coldest on record. so at least we're not starting out that way. this time around. in terms of the month of january, we're running about two degrees above average. actually closer to three degrees. today we're going to be above average again i think hitting a high around 40 degrees. you can see why. we are starting out this morning in the 20's in worcester and springfield, low 30's though through the merrimack valley. and even the mid 30's right now on nantucket. so a milder start out there. you're going to feel a little bit of a wind out there through the afternoon. anywhere from 10-15, but it is out of the south and west. so that's a warming wind. also as you look, we will see full sunshine, i think, through about midday. then more clouds are going to work their way in through the afternoon. so we'll call it partly sunny. the winds turning from the north

south and west through the afternoon. and these are your day-time highs. upper 30's in worcester. low 40's nashua. also low 40's on the cape as well as the islands. right now what's happening. we have pretty much high pressure in control of our weather. so that's keeping us dry. we are watching one system up to the north here. it's a little bit of a clipper system but that energy i think is going to stay farther north. it could trickle in some clouds again through the afternoon but we're not talking about anything in terms of precipitation. then we're watching this system out to the west. this is going to bring us a couple of hit-or-miss showers as we head towards monday. we'll talk more about that one in just a second. for tonight, we're going to drop back into the 20's and 30's mostly cloudy skies. and then tomorrow we do it all over again but look at these high temperatures. mid to upper 40's to even low 50's depending on where you live so starting the month of february, it's going to be a warm one to start. the rain chances in the forecast come on monday.

just hit-or-miss showers we're looking for. notice on wednesday that rain chance goes way up. that's associated with our next system which is a pretty potent one. it will bring a lot of severe weather to parts of south eastern united states. let's talk about that one on tuesday. actually tuesday is also ground hog day just so you know. here is this area of low pressure and warm frontal boundary. it will also bring in very mild air. the rain starts up late morning on wednesday through the afternoon. we are looking for heavy rain and maybe a few even thunderstorms with this one. and there is that potential for some flooding because you know we have a lot of snow. this will definitely melt the snow but it's coming down at flooding potential from it. of rain? rain totals look like this through the day. anywhere a half an inch to about an inch in some locations. that is some significant rain coming through on wednesday. don't be alarmed if you hear a couple of rumbles of thunder. as we head towards the end of

weather. on friday looking interesting right now. watching an ocean storm. the track is critical. if it gets close enough, some of us could see potential snow. doug and antoinette. antoinette: danielle, thank you. time right now is 5:15. checking some of the other stories happening right now. doug: the manhunt continues for two violent fugitives who escaped from jail in california. one of the suspects is back in custody. bac duong turned himself in to police. with the other inmates in san jose thursday. investigators say the two escapees are most likely traveling in a stolen van. the three escaped from a maximum-security jail a week ago. antoinette: president obama is making a new push for equal pay for women. he's proposed a new rule that will require companies to report pay data by gender, race, and ethnicity. the rule would apply to companies that have more than one hundred employees. the white house says the rule will help investigate employers that are unlawfully short-changing workers.

back we're in the 40's. we should be running around 36 degrees this time of year. as we head towards monday one thing i want to talk about is we are going to get pretty close to record high temperatures. the record in worcester is actually 61. the record in boston is 66. not necessarily going to make it into the 60's but we will be in the mid 50's which we'll enjoy. antoinette and doug. doug: danielle, thank you. a college student from new england took his turn swimming with the sharks antoinette: shaan patel pitched his secrets for the perfect s.a.t. score on abc's shark tank. >> many of our students have been admitted to ivy league schools, have won millions in college scholarships and some have even gotten perfect s.a.t. scores themselves. now 2400 expert is looking to expand across the nation. antoinette: patel's company "2400 expert" is looking to expand classes to 20 cities, including boston. his plan was rejected by all sharks but one-- mark cuban. cuban decided to invest in both

>> this is an editorial by wcvb-tv channel 5 president and general manager bill fine. bill fine: this month we have been treated to starkly contrasting examples of divided government-- a bipartisan love-fest-- illustrated by the state of the city and state of the commonwealth addresses, and a polarized and awkward state of the union. is it any wonder americans question the effectiveness of federal government while local optimism abounds? major blue chip companies like general electric have picked up on the palpable bay state enthusiasm. mayor marty walsh and governor charlie baker enumerated their accomplishments, and cooperation crystalized by baker's account that he couldn't see an "inch of daylight" between boston's democratic mayor and massachusetts republican governor. to tackle our long remaining to-do list, they'll need to nurture their relationship and perhaps bring the legislature along on their dates. in particular, the governor laid out a lengthy agenda aggressively fighting the opioid epidemic; reforming department

health connector and the "t"; taking a lead on clean energy generation; and lifting the cap on charter schools. missing perhaps were more candid reflections on other pressing concerns. neither leader sufficiently addressed potentially crippling infrastructure issues, major traffic congestion and dangerous bridges, especially in the seaport district, the focus of so much excitement and urban growth. and while "t" management and transparency has improved, we're in for a long ride before we arrive at a public transportation system that can adequately service bay state needs. the challenges loom large. but if our local leaders can remain focused on solutions and not partisan politics, victories will come. we can only hope our bipartisan spirit will infect some of the presidential candidates so busily stumping in new

truly top secret saying in a statement this appears to be overclassification run amok. none of this seems to be fazing supporters we spoke with. supporter: she has proved-- after decades of taking, you know, all kinds of mostly untrue charges by republicans-- that she can take it. supporter: i've always been a hillary supporter. she really is a driving force for all women. phil: with three days to go, every vote counts. this college senior likes hillary but could go another way. undecided voter: i think that's kind of the reason why i'm here just to kind of see my options. i don't think so. i think as the election goes on, i could maybe change my mind. phil: and that right there is a perfect example of the voter that all candidates want to shake hands with here in iowa. a lot of polls you'll see the biggest statistic-- the one that matters to all the candidates-- almost 40% of iowans say they could possibly change their mind

december really exceeded expectations with 500,000 new jobs created. this month's report is expected to show 200,000 jobs were created arch wages remain steady. >> now your storm team 5 forecast with meteorologist danielle vollmar. danielle: good morning. you can see behind me it's a pretty active radar as you look across the country. this weekend is dry. as we head deeper into the workweek we see chances for rain and maybe even some snow. now so far this year, we've seen 10.4 inches in boston. last year we were already at 35.2 inches of snow because we had the first blizzard of course. our normal should be around 22.4 inches of snow. now notice i say there's a chance for some rain. the snow chances really holding off next weekend. but monday a low chance of a couple of showers around but wednesday there is a higher chance.

high pressure dominates our weather today giving us a lot of sunshine and keeping us dry at least to start. we're watching this clipper system. it's going to bring us some clouds this afternoon but precipitation stays well to the north. it's this system here that could give us a chance for some rain beginning on monday. now the temperatures, as you look across the states, really start to warm up when you get back to st. louis at 46. little rock at 54. all that warm air is headed in our direction. so right now we're starting at 32 degrees. the winds are out of the west at about nine. and that makes it feel more like 24. so we do have a little bit of a wind chill out there this morning. and those winds will be breezy today. anywhere from 10-15 miles per hour. and notice we're going to bring in more clouds through the afternoon. so we'll call it mostly sunny, turning partly to mostly cloudy later this afternoon. 39 degrees in worcester. 40 in boston.

so it's a mild day overall. overnight lows tonight dropping back into the 20's and 30's. still keeping the wind with us. but the winds tomorrow out of the south and west the entire day. and that could warm our temperatures up into the mid to upper 40's. maybe pushing 50 degrees in some spots especially the south shore, i think, and potentially the cape. even up along the north shore, you could see as warm as 50 degrees in lawrence. so again we're dry again on sunday, too. here comes our next system though. by sunday night, we're starting to see some clouds roll in. they will be low-level clouds. i do think there could be some fog and some dense fog sunday night into monday morning as mild air moves its way in for your monday morning. and then as we head through the afternoon we're really going to warm up. we're also going to see a shower or two touched off from this cold front. once this cold front comes through, it will back temperatures down just a touch as we head towards tuesday. we're still pretty mild for this time of year. on monday though, we could be close to record high temperatures.

records are this. it is 61 in worcester. 66 in boston. right now forecasting a high of 55 in boston and 52 degrees in worcester. so not breaking any records but again it's still warm. then we're watching our next system. now this is the more potent one. as it comes through on wednesday it will bring with it heavy rain. the potential for some thunderstorms. windy conditions. and there is also that potential for some flooding as we can see rain totals in excess of a half an inch to an inch in a a very short period of time. we have a lot of snow pack especially the farther south and east you go. that could cause poor drainage in spots. as we head towards thursday and friday temperatures drop back to where they should be this time of year and friday we're looking at a potential ocean storm. the track is key. but some areas may see some snow. antoinette and doug. doug: danielle, thanks. 5:50. checking more stories happening right now. antoinette: investigators are
