kelly ann: this is the thing, though. the clouds and the rain keeping that sunrise not quite as pretty as yesterday. here's the bright side. look behind you. these temperatures are how much warmer than we were yesterday. about a 10-degree warm-up. we'll take that. downside is the rain moving through. let's take a look at that satellite and radar imagery. most of us are sitting dry, waking up saying what rain. we have light drizzle that is barely lingering along the coast especially the south s onto the cape. that is falling, a southeasterly track out of our area. many of us are drying out. that is the case for downtown boston, moving along much of 128. but down toward plymouth, we have that light shower in place. that's the case as we move down toward hyannis and much of the cape as well. we have more rain in the pipeline. notice how there's spot showers developing along the track of this low pressure bringing these winds from the north into our area. so right now through much of vermont and new hampshire, we

just baring e-- barely extendin into western mass. we have a spot drizzle chance. not a perfect afternoon expected as we end off this weekend. we're starting off nice and mild this morning. bad side, for this afternoon, temperatures won't get much warmer. we're looking to sit in the upper 40's for many spots even in the height of the afternoon. downtown boston 47 degrees right now. moving out toward worcester, 43. 39 in orange as you travel through areas of new hampshire. the overall feel of the air definitely milder than what we were seeing in the 20's this time yesterday morning. clouds are going to linger as you're heading out for much of the morning hours, especially moving from worcester eastward onto the coast. spot shower chances. notice as we progress toward noon, we see sun breaking out in lynn and pushing into western mass. that will be pushing through much of connecticut as well.

into much of worcester county from 495 eastward. we're likely stuck in the clouds for much of da. that extends into the south shore and the cape. moving into the evening ahead, we will start to dry out. that's going to lead us into a sunnier start for the workweek. the downside is temperatures will stay on the cool end of the scale as we top out at 50 degrees in the height of the afternoon on monday. tuesday for election day, you're heading ou highs will hit near 60 degrees. a nice warm-up but changes heading our way for wednesday. we're going to see that jet stream, which initially is going to rise as we head toward tuesday, it's going to dip as we head toward wednesday. that's going to allow for cool air to rush down into our region as temperatures drop back into the 50's and closer to where they should be for this time of year. the rest of the seven-day forecast, all eyes are on next weekend as we do see some clouds moving into the area. that's going to cool us down

into the 40's. doug and antoinette, we could even see a few snowflakes next saturday. antoinette: she keeps saying that and we keep ignoring it. doug: she's new. we'll get her. we'll get her. antoinette: all right. 6:17. checking more stories happening right now -- doug: police in new jersey are on the scene of a deadly stabbing, investigators saying a woman and two children are dead, several others hurt after they were attacked in a newark home. police say many of the victims are members of the same family. the prosecutor's police are searching for a person of interest in connection with yesterday's attack. antoinette: a vigil for a fallen police officer. hundreds of new yorkers gathering to remember sergeant paul touzzolo. he was shot and killed in the bronx on friday, that as another officer injured in that shooting is released from the hospital. sergeant emmanuel kwo is recovering from a gunshot wound to his leg. police say the officers confronted an armed suspect after he had broken into his estranged wife's home. the suspect opened fire and was

and then watch this. the bruins on the power play, but the rangers have the breakaway. michael grabner feeds derek stepan, and he beats rask to make it 2-1. a short-handed goal, and here's another one. it's kevin hayes ahead of the pack. he waits and fires, and that's his fifth of the year. the rangers go on to beat the bruins 5-2. b's host buffalo on monday. no patriots today, but the celtics are home against the denver nuggets tonight. al horford is out with a concussion, second straight game. but kelly olynyk may make his season debut. that's sports. have a great day. antoinette: it could be a trick or it could be a treat. doug: but this next story ends in a sweet way. the apology letter that led to a massive amount of chocolate bars. antoinette: plus drinking spicy flavors to soothe painful cramps. why a harvard scientist and nobel prize winner says their recipe works. doug: a live look outside from worcester. still a little blue out there, but kelly ann says we've got

she'll explain, especially for you folks up in manchester. we'll be right kate: my mom and i love shooting hoops. but you know what - she could still learn a few things from me - just like i've learned a lot from her. mom helps with homework... she helped dad start his business... and she even fought to put bad guys in jail. now, mom helps make laws that help people - especially when they need it most. i'm really proud of her. and she's taught me that with hard work - i can do... anything. kelly & kate: and we approved

"see what's possible." kelly ann: we're tracking light drizzle right now moving along the south coast and cape. many of us starting to dry out. we have temperatures in the 40's. it's a bit milder heading out early this morning, especially compared to the 20's and 30's of yesterday. unfortunately, though, we won't much get much warmer this afternoon as most of us top out in the 40's.

the south coast and cape. we'll be drying out for this afternoon with temperatures hitting just about 49 degrees even as we inch toward noon. doug and antoinette, we have gusty winds heading our way as well. antoinette: okay, kelly ann. thank you. trick-or-treat. doug: or maybe we should say tweet. a college student tweeted this picture of an apology note somebody left in his car when they stole a kit kat bar from that said car. well, kit kat saw the tweet, gave him thousands of candy bars, which car and shared with his classmates. he wants the thief to come forward so he can give him or her a hug and lots of kit kat. antoinette: i love that note. saw kit kat in your cup holder. doug: 6:23 is your time. election day, count it, two days away. antoinette: sending some of the biggest names in bay state

breaking news out of boston this morning. at least five cars were involved in a crash in roxbury's egleston square, six people being treated at the hospital for nonlife-threatening injuries. doug: tolls keep coming down on the mass pike. work continues on 128 near our station in needham. announcer: this is an editorial by wcvb channel 5 president and general manager bill fine. >> where do you stand? vote early or on election day? although october surprises have caused some controversy over the wisdom of early voting, so far that question is being answered yes by an overwhelming record margin of 2-1 over 2012's presidential contest. elected officials and watchdog groups alike share the same complaint. america's voting process is broken.

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. early voting allows more flexibility for those with inflexible work schedules, it also eliminates the need to stay in line for hou, 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? considering the record negatives dogging both candidates, any vote, early or on election day, is a considered risk for the majority of americans. record early voting is a strong

let's hope the discussion on increased reforms occurs before the first candidate announces for 2020. ? why do banks treat you and your money like this?
