further northward into northern new hampshire and moving out toward maine where we're getting some light snow reports. this is all pushing through with a disturbance which for us not looking to bring much in the way of rain or snow, but will bring some chilly and breezy conditions, especially for the forecast tonight shifting into your sunday. you'll start to see those winds start to shift in direction as well. that's going to bring some heavier clouds to our area and eventually the chance for a few sprinkles heading outow coast and also the cape and islands for tomorrow. right now temperatures are down to 27 degrees in plymouth. not quite as cold in boston, though, where we're sitting at 35. a lot of those inland thermometers, though, are quite a bit colder especially as you're heading out toward needham, moving along 128, a lot of upper 20's for this morning. so it definitely is a chilly start although for this afternoon, not quite as bad. we're into the 50's. that's not too far off from where we should be for this time of year.

mostly sunny skies heading into the afternoon. cool heading out toward worcester county where a few more upper 40's will be possible at rutland at 49 degrees as we move into the forecast ahead tomorrow, we are talking about a cooldown. so though we're into the mid 50's this afternoon with 56 degrees in bridgewater, for the forecast tomorrow, we're dropping. so 51 will be the high for bridgewater, but heading out, especially for worcester county, we'll see a few more 40's on the board, talking about mid to upper0' for your monday, we're kicking off the workweek with highs in the lower 50's. mostly sunny skies moving back in overhead. for the cape and islands, we will see heavier clouds move in. for the afternoon, temperatures managing to hit the mid 50's. hyannis, about 54 degrees this afternoon. forecast tomorrow will likely drop to 50 degrees. not quite as warm. tomorrow, those winds start to pick up. so we have that wind-chill factor that will come into play,

early afternoon hours. big thing for tonight, those clocks are falling back an hour. so that means as far as the daylight saving time coming to an end, that sunrise time is going to be a bit earlier. so by this time tomorrow, we start to see that sun peeking out. sunset will be earlier as well, setting at 4:30 tomorrow evening. the rest of the seven-day, we have the sun breaking out and things are actually getting a bit milder although we are topping out in the upper 40's tomorrow. for next toward 60. for election day, mostly sunny and dry. doug and antoinette, know excusexcu -- no excuses not to get out. antoinette: 5 investigates gps devices meant to monitor police on the job are no longer in patrol trucks. doug: that's raising concerns after we found some officers at home but on the clock.

reporter: environmental police officer pat robert loads up a handful of fishing poles and is finally ready to respond for duty after staying at home on the clock for the first six hours of his shift. it's a troubling pattern 5 investigates discovered in our undercover investigation. some environmental cops at home on the taxpayers' dime, their take-home state trucks parked outside. others out on patrol but not doing much work at all. right now, it's a free-for-all. reporter: this person whose identity we're protecting is familiar with how the department works. >> there's no accountability. there's no supervision whatsoever. reporter: there used to be more supervision when each police truck was equipped with a gps tracking device. last year, the agency decided to remove the gps devices from all of its vehicles. >> i'm not sure why they would

devices to these take-home vehicles and then deactivate them. i mean, that's a -- that's a solid management tool. reporter: tom is a criminal justice expert and former boston police lieutenant. >> i would question for what the reason was, what the justification was for deactivating these devices. reporter: governor baker's former campaign driver james mcguinn is the man in charge. though u -- they used to have why was that taken out? >> a cost saving measure. we can't use the -- those gps -- we couldn't go to a computer and track our officers. reporter: records obtained by 5 investigates showed the police officers union filed a complaint with the state department of labor relations in 2013 just days after management first installed the gps devices. a year later, the two sides signed an agreement which allowed the department to keep

trucks for fleet management, dispatching and patrol analysis, but it prohibited trolling or going on a fishing expedition looking for violations. a spokesman for the department says last year, the union requested the removal of the gps system after mcguinn had been appointed director, and that request was approved. >> it was more of a hands-off approach where there was less accountability, less supervision, and you know what they say, when the cat's reporter: the department has a $10 million budget and the gps system wasn't breaking the bank. the cost was $11,000 and $2700 each month for monitoring. kathy curran, 5 investigates. doug: kathy, thank you. 6:49. we're staying on top of that breaking news from dorchester. antoinette: one person shot overnight. we have the latest details coming up next as the eyeopener

elected officials and watchdog groups alike share the same complaint. america's voting process is broken. tuesdays are inconvenient and the number one difficulty and reason americans cite for not voting. tuesday elections had their origin during the agriculture-driven economy of the 1800's. weekends were eliminated for religious reasons, and monday was a day of horse-and-buggy travel to the polls. it is beyond time to encourage some new thinking if not a complete overhaul of old standards. flexibility for those with inflexible work schedules, it also eliminates the need to stay in line for hours, sometimes during inclement weather, factors which also lower turnout. there is a risk early voting cuts short the vetting process and late developments in a campaign may impact our choice up to the last minute. do we really have a firm grasp on clinton and trump's views on the important issues or are we inundated to the very end on their personal failings?

vote, early or on election day, is a considered risk for the majority of americans. record early voting is a strong indicator of acceptance for change. let's hope the discussion on increased reforms occurs before the first candidate announces for 2020. kelly ayotte: thanks, budd and when i take the plate for new hampshire... i'm up against a political machine that plays dirty -- throwing millions in false, negative ads... i'm out here knocking down every lie... because new hampshire deserves better. that's why i'm batting for good-paying jobs, to protect social security and medicare... ...and help families pay for college... i approved this message because no matter what they're throwing at me... i'll never stop fighting for you.
