a storm significant south of us and if it came close enough there would be some rain and wind impacts with it. so with the wind impact that chance doesn't really come into play until the sunday-monday time frame. south coast and cape has the best chance of getting somewhat significant wind. in terms of rain from the storm itself, that, too, doesn't happen until sunday and could continue on monday. much more about this coming up in a few minutes. >> thank you. shark sightings shutting down two cape cod beaches. sky five, where a great white was spotted this morning. >> swimmers were ordered out of the water. coast guard beach was also closed. >> 5 investigates tonight, fallout from a story that we first brought you last night. >> thousands of criminal cases are found review. >> this after they found a police evidence room in disarray. kathy with the new details for us. >> the d.a. met with the mayor and police chief for about three hours today. the we learned there is police
