tide. here are the tiles of high tide for this afternoon. an hour before this, an hour after this, some minor splashover. not the extent of what we saw yesterday with the high tides. here sa look at satellite and radar. lots of sunshine out there as you just saw. really a nice day. this is going to be the best day we have for a few days. because looking ahead, we do have a cold front that will pass over us today. it is not really bringing in any cold air until tomorrow. also, as we head into tomorrow and friday, we are watching this warm front. and this is going to lift northeast. and this has some rain associated with it. heading into tomorrow afternoon and into friday and early saturday, we could see some beneficial rain from this. we are talking half an inch to an inch of rain when we are all said and done here. looking ahead, as i mentioned, today is a nice day. tomorrow morning, we will start to notice the cloud cover increase. but i think we are rain-free until tomorrow afternoon. and evening. when those showers become a little scattered.

friday. that is what you should expect here. also we are watching a lot of this tropical moisture. this is north of turks and day's. that front could tap into some of this and bring us some downpours at times. we will be dealing with the rain late tomorrow into friday. maybe even into early saturday as well. by saturday afternoon, the sunshine is back. but the weekend is cooler. so for today, enjoy these warm temperatures. we are not going to see them for a while. here is the forecast. as i mti thursday afternoon. into friday. maybe even into early saturday. for the most part, the weekend is sunny, cooler, and a little breezy. >> christa: danielle, thank you. the patriots stake take on the steelers sunday: the team will be without running back dion lewis. lewis probably won't return to practice this week.

washburn is her name. she is in orlando, florida at a rehab sent at sea world. she was flown there from mystic aquarium in connecticut. the manatee was found off the coast of falmouth last month. officials say she will be released back into the wild in a few weeks. just in time to give birth. that's right. she is just about ready to give birth, danielle. she should put her feet up and be comfortable and be in some warmer water. she weighs just as much as that pumpkin. kind of crazy. we are close to 80. a warm day. really a nice day, too. those winds are out of the west and southwest. so we will probably get to 80 this afternoon in boston. the record is 84, though. probably not going to get there. and worcester, mid-70's this afternoon. and the record, 81. we won't have record heat today. but it is still a nice day to get out and enjoy. those winds are out of the southwest and west. so this is why we are seeing

in here yesterday. also, i want to talk about this west wind. because of this, the king tide not as big of a concern as we head into this afternoon. and around the times of high tide. which high tide around 2:15. an hour before this, an hour afterthis. we will, you know, be a little bit concerned about some minor splashover. but the high tides you saw yesterday, not going to be a factor today. part of the reason, because we have an off-shore wind. today, yesterday, it was on-shore. here sa l and radar. mostly clear skies and sunshine out there. we have a cold front moving over us today. it is not going to bring cooler temperatures until tomorrow. so today, a nice day. also, tomorrow, we will start to watch this warm front lifting northeast. and a lot of rain is associate with this. we could see the rain beginning tomorrow afternoon, continuing into friday and even lingering into saturday morning. now, also this could tap into some tropical moisture that's sitting north of turks and caicos right now. we could see some downpours

done here, we could see half an inch to an inch of beneficial rainfall. so for today, we are dry. when you wake up tomorrow morning, we will start to increase the cloud cover. then as we head into kinnertime, tomorrow night, later in the day tomorrow, we could see those showers beginning. continuing into friday and even into saturday morning. as i was mentioning. we need the rain. and the temperatures are going to be cooler, too. enjoy today. we have some changes on the way. temperatures today into the 80's. lots of sunshine. it is a warm day. a little breezy out there as well. for tonight, mostly clear. it is cooler, though. temperatures in the 40's and 50's. overnight last night, it was really mild. that will feel like a change. tomorrow, the clouds move. in showers possible late in the day. a much cooler day. temperatures closer to average for this time of year. in the low to mid-60's. here is your forecast. after the rain tomorrow afternoon, and evening, into

the weekend. but it is much cooler and a little bit breezy. >> christa: all right. coming up, you might want to watch the meeter the next time you fill up. hank investigates how you could be shelling out more than you should be at the gas pump. a little girl with so much to smile about. how hearing her grandmother's voice marked an incredible

kathy: it goes by so fast. kate: one day you're a kid - and the next... kelly: ...you're raising your own little girl. kelly: growing up, i watched my mom work so hard. she made our lives better. she's my inspiration in the senate - whether strengthening social security or medicare, protecting our environment, or helping make college more affordable... she taught me that with hard work... kate: you can do anything? kathy: anything. kate: my mom taught me that too.

>> christa: turns out some gas pumps have a gas glitch. >> you are not paying attention, it could cost you. here is hank investigates. look at this. >> i'm not even pumping the gas. >> reporter: the meter that the braintree gas station is running. >> the amount is going up on my card. >> reporter: now with gas is coming out. >> it is weird. report tt guy who sent us this video is paying for gas he didn't get.

braintree's weights and measures inspector michael mcgourdy. >> well, i think consumers should be aware that this can happen. >> reporter: experts call this gas pump creep. kit happen when you start to fill up or after you finish. have you ever heard of gas pump creep? >> creep? no, i have not. >> reporter: it may be costing you, too. >> i would be rather upset. >> reporter: this framingham inspector opened a properly working gas pump. >> here is the pipe >> reporter: to show us it is usually mechanical. a broken hose or a nozzle malfunction or faulty valve. but it can also be cold weather. that means it's unpredictable and inconsistent. . >> if it wants to do it, okay. you know, it will do it. here in taunton, this inspector says creep is the number one complaint about gas stations. >> are people angry when they call you and complain? >> they are a little upset.

>> you cannot make any pump do a creep. >> reporter: but these videos we found on you tube show it could happen anywhere. >> still moving. >> reporter: how do you protect your pocketbook? easy. never pump gas until you check for all zeros. when you stop pumping, make sure the meter stops, too. or else you are paying for gas you didn't get. >> correct. >> reporter: if this happens to you, tell the gas stio and local inspectors need to know, too. check our web site for information on how to report it. in the newsroom, i'm hank phillippi ryan. >> christa: up next on 7: a little girl hears for the first time. a special moment. >> danielle: lots of sunshine out there today. temperatures near 80. tomorrow, though, it is cooler. we are tracking some rain for the end of the workweek. a last look at your forecast

imagine if your child were trapped in a failing school. imagine if your child couldn't read or write at grade level. imagine if your child were stuck on a waiting list. 32,000 kids want to go to a public charter school. but they can't. if you like your public school, question 2 won't affect you. but for kids stuck in failing school districts, question 2 will let parents omething better and give all our kids hope.

to conquer heartburn fast.m tums in the navy, defending america. if i only showed up half of the time, i'd have been court-martialed. but that's what senator kelly ayotte did. she missed nearly half of her homeland security hearings. vo: on critical homeland security hearings, ayotte was mia... even missing a hearing the same day she went to a washington fundraiser. for ayotte collecting campaign cash comes first. bob hillery: when it comes to fighting terrorism, afscme is responsible for

>>is certainly will not forget. cameras roll as gracies hear her loved ones' voices clearly for the first time. it's been a tough time for the family. their home in south carolina has been underwater because of hurricane matthew. but this really could not have come at a better time. >> did you hear that? you did. >> she tell it is us a lot. more than what we have taught her. >> christa: my goodness. the red cross has helped the

for the future that doctors have given gracie as well. she has the most beautiful smile or what? i love that story. >> danielle: a sweet story. we have some sweet weather out there, too. boston just hit 80 degrees. norwood also at 80. 79 in beverly. it is a really nice day. we have lots of sunshine. hard to believe. but we have a cold front moving over us. although the cool air really isn't going to arrive until tomorrow. so enjoy today. temperatures near 80. but it's downhill from there. low 60's tomorrow. afternoon, we have to watch the threat for some rain. that stays with us through friday and could linger into saturday. the weekend looks good after. that we have the sunshine return. >> christa: thank you for spending some time with us today.

the outside corporate interests bankrolling question two are trying to deceive you. here's the truth: every time a new charter school opens, it drains money from the existing public schools. that's 400 million just last year - 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. join them in voting no on question two. months of degrading women and vulgar insults, and kelly ayotte supported donald trump through all of it, even calling him a role model. now, ayotte suddenly claims the opposite--

she's voted with the koch brothers 90% of the time, and corporate special interests like the kochs spend millions to re-elect ayotte. kelly ayotte. doing what's right for herself is just wrong for new hampshire. i'm maggie hassan, and i approve this message. you know me.aggie hassan, that's new hampshire kelly ayotte. this is washington kelly ayotte. she voted for 20 billion dollars in tax breaks for the big oil companies. but she voted against letting you refinance your student loans. ayotte voted to give a huge tax breaks to millionaires. while 95% of us... got nothing. kelly ayotte. you need to know in washington. she's not working for new hampshire.
