doug: if you're bummed out, blame mother nature. as the weather gets colder, doctors are warning about seasonal affective disorder or s.a.d. it's kind of a depression many people get when the days get shorter and it stays darker longer. dr. joseph rock of the cleveland clinic says symptoms such as fatigue, depression and a lack of concentration can start as early as september. he says the lack of sunlight is to blame, affecting the level of chemicals in your system linked to depression, mood, and your sleep cycle. of course, that's something you always ought to do, but it's particularly important if you have seasonal affective disorder. the other thing is to make sure you get outside and do things whether you feel like doing it or not. doug: get out there. if your symptoms still don't improve, you should see the your doctor. antoinette: so important to get out i-but the sun sets at 4:30. doug: but it rises earlier in the morning. kelly ann: if you wake up earlier, you can catch up.
6:14 am
antoinette: speaking of that sunrise kelly ann: absolutely beautiful. we have some stunning skies. and really, that's something we saw yesterday as well, because there weren't many clouds overhead. that will be the case again this morning as we're seeing that beautiful sunrise and all those colors overhead with that sunrise as well. the good news is, check this out, we're not seeing many high clouds. we're not going to see much in the way of cuds blocking that sun this afternoon as well. although those temperatures are goingo spots, that sun, especially when you're right in the light, will make you feel quite a bit warmer. temperatures right now, we're about 35 in downtown boston. worcester at 30 degrees. we have that wind-chill factor, though. winds not as strong as yesterday, but there's just enough of a wind that we're feeling like we're in the 20's right now. so downtown boston, the wind chill or feel-likes out there is down to 27 degrees. it is feeling like 21 in worcester. we're seeing wind chills down into the teens as we move into
6:15 am
and quiet. not signs of any signs of any clouds or rafall. and that's also the case as we move upstream. we have that wind pushing in from the north in canada showing some signs of some flakes falling in canada, but overall it's just that chilliness factor that's going to be blowing in our area for this afternoon. as we move into your forecast highs today, for north and west, we have most temperatures in the 40's this afternoon. so really starting to feel that chill in the air, although w strong. we have winds blowing out of the west 5 to 15 miles an hour. right now they're out of the northwest. that's why it's keeping things really chilly for this morning. as we head into the forecast tomorrow and monday as those winds continue to shift, we'll see those temperatures slowly rise. we're in the 50's by sunday. 60's as we move towards monday. moving outoward worcester, we have temperatures even in the mid 40's. 44-degree high in worcester this afternoon, and even as we head
6:16 am
sunny skies. not warming us up. the winds will stay quite a bit calmer. we head into sunday and monday, temperatures progressively warm to close to where we should be. let's move to the south shore where we see temperatures in the upper 40's to 50's. the feel of the air still very chilly. keep in mind as we head out toward the cape and islands, the winds are going to be just a bit stronger. so wind gusts near 20 miles per hour onto the cape and the coast, we could see wind gusts up to 25 to even 30 miles per hour. so that's going to make these 40's that are projected for this afternoon feel even colder and down into the lower 40's to even upper 30's wind chill. your seven-day forast includes sunshine into your sunday, but the big thing is the moon actually. you'll want to wake up early heading into monday morning. we're looking to see the largest super moon, the largest w
6:17 am
larger, very bright. but this is the thing. because it is so close to earth, that moon is going to have some influence on our tides. that's going to be something we're watching into tuesday. our next chance of rain could actually bring some coastal flooding. doug and antoinette? antoinette: all right, kelly ann. thank you. checking more of the stories happening right now -- doug: new evacuations in georgia as well as north carolina as wildfires burn in sevel states down south. authorities in seven states are working on cracking down people setting off wildfires. police have already made arson arrests in tennessee and kentucky. several children in georgia accused of setting a fire near an airport will be sent to a fire center intervention program. antoinette: the republican congress is already putting pressure on president-elect donald trump to move quickly on the controversial keystone pipeline. trump listed the pipeline that
