and it makes it feel more like in pittsfield. so again these wind chill values are going to be with us through the afternoon. in fact, as we go through the afternoon, really not going to warm up all that much. feeling more like the 20's and low 30's all day long. now we should see some sunshine i think later today, even though this morning we're waking up to a lot more clouds. even some folks waking up to a couple of light snow showers or flurries in southern new hampshire as well as in southern vermont. but a warm-up is on the way and good chance for some much-needed rain. the timeline ahead. doug? doug: danielle, thank you. breaking news. this is video just in of a close call in cambridge. a car crashed into the railing just off memorial drive near the longfellow bridge leaving it dangling over the charles river. everyone inside was able to get out okay. it's not clear why the driver lost control. sera: breaking overnight. there is a deal in the bitter battle setting off a firestorm between bernie sanders and hillary clinton. t

pittsfield elementary school is closed due to an oil leak. kevin: it is too early in the season for a snow day, right? erin: right. kevin: that has never happened around thanksgiving or late october. sean: wait until january. erin: where is the snow this year? kevin: we are waiting on it. a general 1-3 inches of accumulation north of the white mountains. otherwise, we will go from clouds and fog early to central we gust over 30 miles per hour. we set ourselves up for a bright and breezy day tomorrow. the fair skies last through the weekend. we start off early this morning with some very changing conditions across the state. low clouds and fog should give way to partial sunshine in southern parts of the state. you notice the showers in western parts of vermont that will edge in across western parts of new hampshire through the afternoon. up north, any sort of rain showers you have switching over to light snow, which will be around before tapering off to snow showers later on this evening. it all depends what region of the state you are in as t

as well as pittsfield. so it's a cold start if you're headed out right now. you definitely want to bundle up. layer up if you're going for that morning run because it is cold. today's high temperatures warming into the upper 30's, low 40's in boston. as well as in worcester. low 40's along the south south shore. the winds out of the west at 10-15 this morning backing up to 5-10 through the afternoon so it won't feel as cold as it did yesterday afternoon. now we do have a couple of flurries around parts of the area. they were around cape ann, now exiting the region, moving over the ocean. the cape could get clipped with some of these especially the northern edge and then western mass seeing a couple of light flurries. this is all associated, believe it or not, with lake-effect snow coming off ontario still today. now high pressure is going to begin to build in through the afternoon. see a lot of sunshine today and why the winds will eventually back off. then we watch this warm front, this area of low pressure you see. this is our next big weather-maker althoug

wind gusts in excess now of 31 miles an hour in pittsfield. very strong winds coming out of the west-northwest. it makes it feel more like 19 degrees in pittsfield. more like 25 in orange. so it's that wind chill value. we haven't really talked about it all that much this winter but we are talking about if it for today. in fact, the next 12 hours in boston, you see temperatures feel like the 20's and low 30's all day long. we're looking for a mix of sun and clouds with temperatures only really warming into the low 40's, but big changes are coming we'll talk about the major warm-up and when we could see some much-needed rain ahead. sera. sera: danielle, thank you. breaking overnight. there is a deal in the bitter battle setting off a firestorm between bernie sanders and hillary clinton. that comes just hours before the democratic rivals prepare to face off on the debate stage. doug: the eyeopener's frank holland is tracking new information as it comes in. frank, good morning. frank: good morning, doug and sera. this morning we're told there is

temperatures have fallen into the upper 30' s. 34 in pittsfield in the berkshires. the trend is already there. the wind is out of the northwest. it is slowly starting to pick up. you can feel the difference. upper 20' s low 30' s. temperatures only reaching the 30' s to low 40' s. it could be gusting. we will have wind chills. high pressure will settle in. we have moderation for sunday afternoon. if we get through the first two thirds of next week, the jet stream throws us on the milder side quickly, so monday afternoon we should make it into the 40' s. there could be a couple showers christmas eve. at around 60 degrees is the -- around 60 degrees. not real cold. the high should be around the. that is how i see it. the air temperature is chilly, but the actual wind chill, teens and 20' s. out of doors. for the patriots game, yes, it is cold for tailgating. but by afternoon, we are starting to moderate. a westerly wind at 10 to 15 miles per hour. look how quickly we recover in the 50' s. we should be doing the 50' s most days if not better most days. a warm week lead

pittsfield will only see a high of 45. it's all due to this cold front that you see up through parts of canada. then we're going to watch this area of low pressure that is going to redevelop over the atlantic ocean. high pressure though in control of our weather keeping us dry sunday and monday. and that area of low pressure could bring some rain on tuesday for parts of the area. we could use the rain down over 9.5 inches for the year in boston. and down closer to nine inches now for the year in worcester. so what happens here on the future cast, we're dry again on here comes that cold front pulling down the temperatures and then that area of low pressure getting close but it looks like the latest model trend is to push it farther away which would mean less of us would get involved with that rain. what i'm talking about the rain it's not all that much any it's only to graze us but it's mainly confined to the cape and the islands right now. however, if that track waivers just a touch and it comes closer towards us, more of

the next chance will be pittsfield out toward the berkshires and will mining noon southern vermont. i could see a couple getting through southern new hampshire to the worcester hills. not going to be able to stick to anything and as we move into the sunday forecast, things brighten up very nicely now. more cloud cover out west again because a little closer to our seven-day forecast for the weekend falls view and what a weekend cooldown it is from 0 today to 39 degrees. your high tomorrow and highs in the lower 40s on sunday. totally normal this time of the year. warming back into the 50s, even the 60s by next thursday, christmas eve, but an unset cancelled pattern along with warm weather and lots of chances for showers. back to you, guys. >> catherine: santa may have trouble with that 60-degree christmas eve. >>> lebron james making news for collision on the court. why a fan had to be taken out on a stretcher. >>> the local boy had the dog it alm >>> new in morning, the defense secretaries in afghanistan this morning. secretary ashton carter is there to assess the situation as viole

pittsfield 30, springfield 32 that green showing the rain just arriving. rain because it's too warm up above us for snowflakes to make it above ground level. it will warm up fairly quickly although there will be some spots especially in the river valleys that will hold on to freezing temperatures. that's why until noon time is when this freezing rain advisory will go. the steady ier arrives and some heavier downpours here as well. making it in here by late tomorrow night. we'll get a bit of a break into early wednesday morning commute then more rain arrives at times coming down heavily most of the time light to moderate though and tapering off to showers wednesday night in milder air. the weather threats will be ice the low threat. heavy rain and moderate threat coming down heavily at times and wind not really a factor. here's your seven-day forecast with your weekend in view. 46 for a high tomorrow afternoon. we'll start out real cold with the rainshowers. 100% chance of rain both days. it just means you are likely to see some rain at some point. thursday

more like 26 degrees in boston and we were even in the teens a little bitterlyier in worcester and pittsfield. now running at 20 degrees is what it feels like. that's the wind chill value, what you dress for. lots of sunshine this afternoon. upper 30's, low 40's for highs. and then as we work our way towards tomorrow, we're going to see this warm frontal boundary get closer to us. what that is is going to do is bring in warmer temperatures. for today, high pressure is dominating our weather, giving us lots of sunshine so for low to mid 50's in boston. the south shore, the cape and the islands, you're going to feel the difference when you step outside the door tomorrow as temperatures continue to turn milder. we're also very windy tomorrow. those winds out of the south and west at about 10-20. gusts over 30. a chance for showers coming on tuesday afternoon as we hit the mid 50's. more chances for rain coming wednesday, even into thursday which is christmas eve. and along with those showers is going to come record warmth as we hit a high of 63 degrees. we would actually be close if not above th

dense fog now through orange, through springfield back through pittsfield. even on the cape this morning. because temperatures are below the freezing mark, some of this could be freezing fog. that could lead to some patchy black ice so you want to be now we should improve by about 8:00 or 9:00 in the morning as temperatures rise above the freezing mark. but you can see 20's in the merrimack valley. 20's through worcester county. 35 though in the city of worcester. 36 in boston. still in the 20's though along the south shore. as we go through the next 12 hours, say, in worcester, temperatures will bump up into the upper 40's by lunchtime. and low to even mid 50's, i think, through the afternoon. so your high temperatures will be anywhere from the low 50's to upper 50's today. but big changes are coming. we'll talk about the cooldown and when we could see our next chance for rain ahead. frank and karen. frank: thanks a lot, danielle. now. after a shooting in south boston. it happened around 8:00 last night on old colony avenue. police are still investigating.
