take a good look behind me. this is the last time it will look like this. in just a matter of hours, these major changes get underway. here's what you need to know this morning. at 10:00 tonight, open tolling takes effect. that means no more cash on the mass pike. this weekend, toll plaza demolition begins. what does all this mean for you? for the next few weeks while the toll plazas are dismantled, you still have to drive around the work zone plaza, then through the middle, meaning you have to slow down and stay in your lane. in other words, you've got to plan for delays. and there are some price changes as well. from i-84 to boston, it will cost you $3.60 with a massachusetts e-z pass transponder. from 495 to boston, $2.6.

boston. these prices are higher if you don't have an e-z pass or you have one from another state. plan ahead. even the d.o.t. says this commute could be rough for quite some time. that is the latest live from the weston toll this morning. antoinette antonio, wcvb newscenter 5. randy: the commonwealth is making changes to deal with all the frustration in this transition. the eyeopener's sera congi in natick to explain. sera: a lot of fr randy. a lot of people have been swarming this e-z pass service center at the rest area trying to get their hands on these transponders, but a lot of people are telling us that it's not been an easy process. as you have heard, starting tonight at 10:00, cash will no longer be accepted on the mass pike. if you don't have a transponder, you'll get a bill in the mail. people trying to get these devices say there have been long lines and a lot of frustration. >> you would think they would

goes to work. sera: now, the good news is e-z pass centers will have extended hours this weekend. aaa will be handing out free trans responders to members. the influx of applications have really overwhelmed the system. so mass d.o.t. is giving people a 6-month grace period. that will mean you'll have to pay the bill. once your transponder is to your account. live in natick, sera congi, wcvb newscenter 5. emily: sera, thank you. right now mike pence is getting ready to get back on the campaign trail after a scare in new york. the nominee's plane slid off the runway at laguardia airport last night. no one was hurt. the plane was slowed by safety barriers designed to catch aircraft that overshoot the

uh, first of all, i plan to vote for donald trump. ayotte buddied up to trump, even calling him a role model. would you tell a child to aspire to be like donald trump? oh absolutely, i would do that. but she kept playing politics and flip flopping around. ayotte is running away from trump as quickly as she can. and what she values is her seat. and she's trying - to keep something she values. - i know. kelly ayotte. the politician. looking out for herself.

emily: marathon bombing survivors continue to get belongings back. for one survivor it's bringing closure. erika brannock wasn't sure she was ready to see the clothes. the maryland teacher was cheering her mother on when the bombs went off. brannock says it was emotional items held by the f.b.i. for evidence. her cell phone was frozen in time. >> and i had 67 text messages and over 10 voicemails from that day. it was very emotional, but it was also healing at the same time to kind of come full circle. emily: the f.b.i. says it started releasing evidence to survivors in august. randy: a bit of a battle over changes proposed to boston city

instead. an unlikely rescue in the ocean. the help for one deer heading in

the outside corporate interests bankrolling question two are trying to deceive you. here's the truth: every time a new charter school opens, that's 400 million just last year - according to the state's own data. which means real cuts to our kids - in arts, technology, ap classes, pre-school, bus service and more. that's why question two's opposed by the massachusetts pta and school committees all across the state.

emily: 4:45. check this out. a photo from sturbridge. that is snow! a decent amount of it. the cold air last night making conditions a little more slick out there. i don't think i'm ready to see that picture yet. randy: good luck, everybody in sturbridge. cindy: the highest elevations in western massachusetts reported up to six inches of all of that gone. we've transitioned to rain in the berkshires at this point. take a look at some of these totals. this is impressive for november or even early december. here we are in october. there's that 6 inches in heath. westfield, 2 1/2 inches of snow as well. wintry scenes. we have a lot of pictures in. your driving skills, forget about it even in the rain. this is what they were dealing with yesterday driving in the snow out that way. so pretty tough conditions overall.

inch in boston. we had that before midnight as well. we've seen about an inch of rain from this system. the back edge is making steady progress toward the north. this whole thing is pivoting up to the north and east around and area of low pressure right overhead now. so we still have a few raindrops in boston. the heaviest rain around lynn stretching northward toward the new hampshire sea coast. olessa was mentioning the heavy rain. that's moving through portsmouth. south of town through hyannis to the vineyard. westward, we're beginning to dry out. along the coastline, the winds are gusty. through 10:00 a.m., there is a wind advisory as these winds are kicking up. gusts 20, 30, 40 miles an hour right now in nantucket. you're going to notice that wind as you're stepping out. it's coming off the water. it's mild. 50 degrees. inland, 40's in worcester. 30's out in the western part of the state and a little fog as well, visibility running 1/2

probably a good idea to allow some extra time this morning. your drive will be a little challenging even as the steady rain lifts out. there are big puddles this morning. this area of low pressure is going to lift north and eastward. as it does, the winds shift to the west behind it this afternoon. that westerly wind will bring in drier air. notice how the skies brighten up around lunchtime. but that wind is going to be strong. we're still gusting over 20 miles an hour this afternoon. so the temperatures even though they're near 50 now, basically hold in the lower 50's today m even we get this steady rain this morning, we get into the afternoon. there is energy that's going to be rotating on through. can't rule out a pop-up shower here during the late afternoon hours into early this evening. tonight we begin to clear things out late. temperatures fall back into the 30's to low 40's. tomorrow is a milder day. your saturday upper 50's to around 60 degrees. that system moves out. as the next approaches, it's a

bring showers in the afternoon. saturday looks like a drier day. sunday we head toward sunday and notice the morning hours have some sunshine. as we get into the afternoon, clouds increase, and notice that area of rain on this particular computer model is going south. there's a chance that could go farther north. there could be rain from the pike on southward. drying out for trick-or-treaters on monday. looks good. lower 50's. should be in the 40's. we've had emily: we definitely had. olessa: not pleasant out there. thank you, cindy. there's a live look. the roads are wet. that's the zakim bridge and the leverett connector southbound heading toward the bottom of the screen. give yourself extra time. puddling on the roadways. not dealing with any construction this morning. that's good news. heading into town, so far problem-free. south, much of the same, 24, route 3, 95, all moving along without any issues.

as well. heading in order in good shape on 93 out of methuen. nice and light in saugus. trains and buses expecting to start on schedule. randy: some parents of boston school children are outraged over the mayor's makeover plans for city hall. the extreme makeover could cost more than $100 million if it happens, and parents tell "the herald" the money should be put toward the schools. the proposal comes a day after the city announced $100 in cost-cutting measures for the public schools. they say there's no competition between schools and city hall. emily: your economy this friday. governor baker's administration holding off on cuts as the state looks for other ways to close the budget gap. less than a month ago, the state secretary of administration and finance believed the administration needed to cut $294 million from executive branch spending, and that's due

revenues. some lawmakers suggested those revenues might pick up. the administration believes state employee buy-outs will save money. asian shares were mixed as investors key in on wall street's recent decline. futures here are lower. attention will turn today to the gdp report on consumer spending domestically. randy: in your health this morning, a california woman wins a major lawsuit against johnson & johnson over baby the suit alleged that years of using the company's baby powder with talcum in that powder caused her ovarian cancer. a jury awarded the woman more than $70 million. johnson & johnson was accused of negligent conduct in the marketing of its baby powder. it's the latest lawsuit raising concerns about the effects of talc powder. cranberries and cranberry juice may not help prevent urinary

carolina aquarium. the divers jumped into the tank, full gear on, working beside sharks and rays and they say it's a fun take on creepy creations. very creative. yeah. the celtics were so close to a win against the bulls. they came up just short. randy: the turnover that may have cost them in the final minutes of the game ahead in news to go. ahead at 5:00, experts reveal the big risk online including one key rule of pard protection. olessa? olessa: open road tolling begins tonight. that does not mean you can fly through as they're being torn

emily: it is 4:55. we are following some breaking news in your early news to go. randy: one man is dead after an hours-long standoff with police at a motel in new hampshire on the sea coast. police say the man fired at officers. he was holed up in the mari-anne motel on ocean boulevard. no officers hurt there. they say that after the standoff ended with a 38-year-old suspect killed himself.

look at the wind gusts from overnight. we got to close to 60 miles an hour in east falmouth. fair haven, over 50. mashpee gusting to 50. plymouth gusting over 40 miles an hour. there is a wind advisory until 10:00 a.m. i think our strongest winds have passed but we're still talking about gusts over 30 miles an hour from the east-southeast this morning. once that storm lifts northward, look what happens this afternoon. the winds shift to the west, but they're not settling down that much. i don't think we'reki but gusting 20 to 30 miles an hour right through this evening. it is a windy day ahead. temperatures in the low 50's. you get down to new york, philly, d.c., we climb closer to 60 degrees and mid 60's back toward chicago. that is what's heading our way tomorrow. i don't think we're going to get up into the 60's, but as high pressure slips to our north, it's a little warmer for your saturday, mainly dry. but watch this front drop southward on saturday night and on sunday a wave of low pressure
