335th aircraft maintenance group out of seymour johnson air force base in north carolina. they've been deployed for the last eight months in southwest asia, and they are excited to be back on u.s. soil. all the people that you see cheering them on are volunteers. they meet every military flight that lands here at pease, and there are a lot of them. 182 already this year. some of the greeters doing this for years, and also, some new ones today, who came out just this afternoon. >> to greet them home, to say, like, welcome home. like, because they did all their hard work. >> i thought it was a great thing to do especially the day before thanksgiving, all the soldiers coming home, we want to say we appreciate them and give our love. >> the reporter: so the soldiers just finished up a ceremony. the pease greeters do this for every plane that comes in, it's really neat. they all gather and once again,

in a couple hours or so, they'll get back on that aircraft that landed here and head to their base in north carolina. i spoke with several, they are super excited to be back for thanksgiving. there was a lot of wheeling and dealing that had to go on to get them back home in time, but it looks like they're going to make it, and as you might imagine, they're absolutely thrilled. we will hear from some of the soldiers who just landed a little later on in the newscast. that's the latest reporting >> a local boy scout troop that reported their trailer stolen now has a new one. a troop from norwood got a new trailer, they reported theirs missing back in august. norwood police say the trailer was stolen from a u-haul nearly 20 years ago, it ended up in the troops hands overtime. police learned the trailer was never actually stolen, it was just u-haul repossessing their property. >> vanessa: a skeleton of a cow uncovered in plymouth could hold the key to learning more about pilgrims. a team of umass boston researchers says the bones found

and other items were likely sitting on an early settlement. this is one of the first discoveries that helps piece together the day-to-day lives of the pilgrims. the team says the next step is to examine their findings to try to figure out exactly how everything was use. the mayflower 2 is getting a makeover. plymouth plantation says it's raised nearly $7.5 million to repair the replica of the ship that brought the pilgrims to america. the 60-year-old boat is suffering from rot and beetle infestation. the town hopes the ship can be the 400th anniversary of the pilgrim's landing. >> mark: no pressure there. >> vanessa: uh-uh. right. >> mark: i have a feeling it's going to get done, come you know what or high water. >> kevin: especially the high water. oh my gosh. >> mark: thanksgiving, kevin. let's talk about it. >> kevin: it's going to be a beautiful day with sunshine and temperatures in the 40's. you probably want to know about this thanksgiving. we have clouds to our west, starting to go move our way. it is chilly out there tonight, we know that, not freezing cold

we've been tracking this since it was born in the rockies, that sound like a commercial. born in the rockies, and moving into the middle of the country with snow, rain, and ice. now, it's still producing snow in the northern reaches of the u.s., michigan, upper peninsula of michigan, and the glove side, as well as into western new york, and pennsylvania. and this is becoming more prominent too. when we first started talking at 4:00 p.m., there's a little bit of this. now it's widening and the reason is, this storm is moving east. the warm air is riding up over the cold air, so the snow the rain is not moving east, the know is getting more and more. so what we were talking about here is a warm front trying to make its way on in here and not doing a good job of it. so that's my concern for tomorrow. no, it's not going to be a big storm, we're not going to have a lot of snow or ice around here. just takes a little bit to cause problems. that's what i want you to be concerned about. 34 in worcester right now. so you know the temperature is going down below freezing easily, probably before we're

10:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. boston, getting close to freezing at the airport tonight, this is the east boston temperature. now in the back bay, it will be freezing overnight. 32 degrees. 28 out there in the suburbs and 20's off to the north and west. look at this. low to mid 20's. so when anybody precipitation falls in that kind of an air mass, it has to be something frozen or freezing. if it's frozen, it's a snowflake, if it's freezing, it's a raindrop that freezes on contact. the way the as it first moves in, in the morning, it would be snowflakes over the interior. you're not seeing it in the futurecast data. sometimes the computer models don't pick up in the light precipitation activity, but when you have warm air moving up above and a little kicker in the atmosphere, which we're going to have, sliding on through, that's the warm front, you're going to get light precipitation, there will be flurries here and there will be some drizzle, the closer into the coastline you get. now, southeastern massachusetts, it will be warm enough that it's just going to be raindrops, but north and west, you'll have some

some of the higher elevations, that's about it, but my bigger concern is with temperatures being so cold in the morning, anything that falls can make it slippery in a couple of spots. just be aware of it as you're traveling especially going off to the north and west along route 2 out to worcester county and the berkshires through the mass pike. by the evening, that's when the rain starts to arrive in more earnest. there will be showers around here, even a steadier batch of rain. this too, north and west of 495, we have to watch for those temperatures, which will only make it to the upper 40 degrees for highs, to actually fall back through the 30's and we'll have to watch for spotty ice. going northward, ski area getting more snow. around freezing in morning with the slight risk of some flurries or some freezing precipitation through the 30's in the afternoon, but getting to the 40's mostly for high temperatures, those 30's were kind of around that, so getting to 30's by lunchtime and dropping into the 30's by dinnertime. 40's, but only upper 30's back there for your high temperature. seven-day forecast shows the

weekend. new information coming in on that. i'll put that together for you as we talk through evening. >> mark: someone could be extra thankful tomorrow. tonight's powerball jackpot is worth $250 million. the lump such cash is $22 million. one lucky winner took home $487 million in july in manchester. >> vanessa: costumes are

buster deals and want to be out in front when the store opens. 6:00 a.m., 33% of people plan to shop on black friday from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. 10:00 a.m., 22 percenters, those are the people that like to sleep in. shopping on line has become such a big thing we wanted to give you an idea of when people are shopping on line. thanksgiving, 47% of people say if they're shopping on line over the course of the holiday weekend, they're going to do it maybe people need to get away from in-laws for a few minutes, although i love mine. friday, people who don't want to go to brick and mortar stores, and battle the traffic, and cyber monday, beat out by black friday. if you want a list of stores opening when, find all of that at fox25boston.com. >> mark: a lot to digest there saleswise. very good. a local family getting to spend thanksgiving with their daughter outside of the hospital.

rather than going -- staying just a little snow and changing over to rain, it just keeps growing. and that's because the warm air is not making its way northward or eastward either. we are going to be in the cold air as the precipitation arrives in the morning. temperatures right now are in the 30's to near 40, even 41 in norwood. these will be falling and we'll be tracking that. it is going to be light precipitation. flurries or even some freezing drizzle. and that's something we're going to talk more about in just a few minutes. the good thing problems resulting from the weather on roadways. heather hegedus has been tracking that for us this evening. >> vanessa: what a difference a day makes, kevin, because last night when julie was here, we were tacking about massive traffic backups because of not only rush hour, but thanksgiving holiday, early commuters, but tonight, a much different story. if you can wait until after 8:00 p.m., things are really good and tomorrow night and tomorrow afternoon, great time to head out to your loved ones. you can see a ton of green on

5:30 p.m. on a week night, but i think a lot of people got to leave work early today. the one area where you see some red, the expressway and areas heading right out of boston, but as soon as you head up, north or south, you're in the green. here a live look at the zakim, here's the traffic going north here out of the city right here, the brake lights that you can see, those cars are moving and they're plenty of distance between those cars, so that's a great sign things are moving along. here are your live drive times. a lot of green again. from the ted going to take you 12 minutes, average speed, about 59 minutes, we just updated that from the alston brighton tolls, 28 minutes and alston brighton tolls, 84, that will take you 63 minutes. back to you. >> vanessa: remember, you can download the free fox 25 app to stay on top of the weather and traffic all holiday season. >> mark: millions of americans hitting the road today are likely to be tempted by the ding of an incomes text message or

supplant it. doesn't happen very easily. so we're going to be tracking this closely in the morning to watch for any slippery spots of course, meteorologist shiri spear will be all over it first thing in the morning. who have to the west, more potent part of the system working its wave on in. it will bring more prominent showers during evening, snow to the north and west with rain in southeastern massachusetts, but here too, i'm not convinced the cold air is scoured off of the massachusetts turnpike. we'll have to watch for spots of ice, late tomorrow night and first thing friday morning for black friday shoppers. maybe some breaks of sun, to start to work it during the day on friday, behind that batch of rain, but the going to be a tough go. high temperatures tomorrow, you'll see here, only getting into the 40's. somerville the outliar there at 50 degrees and back in worcester county, upper 30's in some of the colder spots, so that just tells you how chilly we're going to start and how much warmer we're not going to get tomorrow afternoon. here's the seven-day forecast, i

threat heading our way and there's some rain and snow showers painted on in there and the problem, is it's going to be a system coming off the coastline, so on black friday, some breaks of sun and temperatures generally in the 40's, things aren't looking so bad for that. we need to tackle the weekend storm threat just ahead. >> mark: young musician in illinois is relearning how to blame the cello with a brand new arm. he was born without -- she was born without her left arm, learned to play without it, but then her music teacher discovered it was possible to use a prosthetic limb. the teacher september the design to a company in chicago and a short time later, she received a new chair in her favorite color. >> the nonprofit group that helps music students, paid for the new harm. at 5:30 p.m., a wall at a new york city subway station is now covered in encouraging messages for those distraught over the election results.
