About eight inches of rain was forecast for the region of cumbria. Experts say theres even potential for landslides. Now were joined by Danielle Vollmar with a look at our forecast. Chilly start today but chillier in other parts of the country. Danielle while we were dealing with the 50degree temperatures, parts of seattle saw some snow. I want to show you this. This is great video. A snow storm made roads treacherous and even led to a highway closure. In all, about 15 to 25 inches of snow was dumped on part of the north cascades. And thats not all. That system also brought strong hey, no snow so far this year for us. In fact, as of today, we should be seeing about 2. 2 inches. Last year in boston we had about 2. 6 inches of snow. In worcester, 7. 5 inches snow. There really is no snow in this sevenday forecast. So were going to have to wait just a touch longer. This morning we are waking up to some patchy, dense fog as well as some patchy black ice. You want to be careful out there on the roads as temperatures have dropped well below freezing in spots. Thats leading to some slick spots out there. Now the warm trend continues for today. And even into tomorrow. And then were watching an ocean storm for tuesday. The latest models shifting it farther off shore which means not everyone is going to benefit from some muchneeded rain. I want to show you these visibilities though. You can see were going to have problems down around chatham to falmouth now where youre seeing zeromile visibility there and then up towards parts of orange where you see visibles down you folks in beverly. So be aware of that. If youre headed out first thing. And then you have to also talk about some black ice because where temperatures are below the freezing mark in lawrence and beverly and even orange where youre seeing that fog, you could be having some patchy black ice out there this morning. The other thing to talk about is just how cool it is this morning but we are going to warm up very quickly. So highs today going to climb into the low to mid 50s. A few upper 50s on the map, i think, especially the south shore, the cape and the islands. I dont think were necessarily going to get to 60 but we could be pretty close in some spots. Well see a lot of sunshine those winds will be out of the south and west at about 510 so if you are headed out, the patriots game today, theyre taking on the eagles at Gillette Stadium at 4 25, 60 degrees by kickoff but those numbers will be dropping into the 40s as that sun sets. It will be set at game time tonight. As for the low temperatures tonight we drop back into the 20s and 30s in most spots. Cape and the islands holding in the 40s overnight with clear skies. And then tomorrow we do it all over again. Its another mild day. Well have temperatures in the low to mid 50s and a lot of sunshine but notice that wind does shift from the west to the north and west. Notice pittsfield only tops out at 45 degrees. Thats because this cold front on its way in as well as this area of low pressure were going to watch. Now High Pressure for us is dominating our weather this weekend. Thats why we are dry both sunday and monday. But once we get to tuesday i do put a medium chance of some rain coming through. Im going to show you that on the future cast. So as we go towards monday we are still mild. Here comes this backdpoor kind of cold front coming on in and then we watch this area of low pressure but notice the track is taking it farther off shore. So i do think if anyone is going to see any rain from this one, its really going to be the cape and the islands. However, were going to have to watch that track really carefully because as of right now even though its farther off shore, we have to watch the if it does, that could get more of us involve ed with some rain. If it starts early enough even with mixed precipitation to start because temperatures will be below the freezing mark on tuesday in the morning hours. We stay cool in the 40s through wednesday and then warm back up in the 50s by the end of the week. Frank and karen. Frank thanks a lot, danielle. Time now is 5 15.

Right now this morning, starting off at 37 in boston and in worcester but below the freezing mark in nashua and plymouth.

Then were going to see a lot of sunshine and temperatures really bump up into the 50s, mid to even upper 50s may push near 60 degrees in some spots as high dry. Then we watch a cold front come through on monday. And by tuesday that brings in cold air just in time as this area of low pressure gets closer to us. The idea is it will get close but it may only brush nantucket and the cape bringing them some showers and depending on how early it starts, if it starts in either way you look at it, were cold through midweek and warm right back up for next weekend. Karen and frank. Karen we love this story. Christmas is coming early for a bartender in ohio. Frank a simple conversation with a customer landed her a generous gift.

Still to come this morning, several president ial hopefuls visited the Granite State yesterday karen many reacting to the recent attacks in california ahead hear how democrat Bernie Sanders plans to crack down on terrorists. Frank a framingham mother spent more than a year battling cancer, before it took her life. The impact she hoped to have through sharing her story. A live look outside this morning. Still dark and early. Only 29 degrees. Stay with us. The eyeopener continues right after this break. This is an editorial by wcvbtv channel 5 president and general manager bill fine. Bill fine just another day in america. That is how the bbc opened their coverage of the San Bernadino mass shooting. That may sound callously flippant, but its also true. As the Global Leader in a disturbing category, the number of Mass Shootings in america exceeds calendar days this year. The world was galvanized in anger and resolve after terrorists shot 130 people in paris. America. The simple phrase, enough is enough, seems as wellworn as the expressions of sympathy and prayers for the many victims. If virtually any other product was killing 30,000 americans a year, there would be a call to action, congressional hearings, and legislation designed to reduce that staggering total. There is no other civilized nation with the same epidemic. To be clear we are not advocating for confiscating guns, which is a red herring used to stymie commonsense reforms. The truth is, this is no longer just a political, cultural, or Second Amendment issue. This is a major Public Safety problem. Congress can enact simple safeguards, designed to take no ones freedoms away, but will almost certainly save innocent lives. Enacting mandatory background checks, a 48hour waiting period, and closing the gun show many measures which, at long last, need a sense of urgency to pass. And no political leader can justify the current loophole allowing those residing on our own terror watch list to legally purchase a gun. Buying sudafed is more difficult than acquiring an Assault Rifle at a gun show. These few recommendations, among many that should be considered, are not safeguards pushed by gun haters. Universal background checks are supported by nearly 90 of americans and 75 of the n. R. A. s own membership. Will these safeguards stop all mass killings . No. But if they save one life and it was your loved one its jeb bush heres the truth you will not hear from our president we are at war with radical islamic terrorism. R it is the struggle that will determine t the fate of the free world. R the United States should not delay t in leading a Global Coalition r to take out isis with overwhelming force. Ttheir aim is our total destruction. P we cant withdraw from this threat or negotiate with it. We have but one choice to defeat it.

But its not only the dense fog that we have out there, say, in keene as well as in orange, down along the cape. Were also dealing with cold temperatures below the freezing mark. That is creating some black ice out there this morning. So please be careful if youre traveling earlier today. You can see where were concerned with the black ice is back through jaffrey to nashua to lawrence down along the south shore near taunton and hyannis. You notice im picking out degrees. But as we go through the next 12 hours, heres whats going to happen, say, along the south coast as well as the cape and the islands. Youre going to see temperatures bump up today into the mid 50s, i think, for highs, lower 50s though by about lunchtime. So it is a warm day on tap across all the area.

The South Carolina senator spoke at the New HampshireWomens Initiative forum in manchester yesterday. He took a moment to criticize opponents tedd cruz and rand paul who he says voted to weaken n. S. A. Surveillance. He also said he wants to know the San Bernardino shootings. Graham isis recruits more women to their cause than any other terrorist organization so what i want to know is was she radicalized before she met. Was this a terroristarranged marriage .

Theyre down to about zero miles visibility in beverly. This would be my concern for some patchy, dense fog and also some patchy black ice where the temperatures are below the freezing mark. Once we burn that off, temperatures will warm up nicely back into the mid 50s and a few even upper 50s maybe out there. Near 60 degrees. Thanks to a southwest wind at about 510. And lots of sunshine. So if you are headed out, the patriots game, theyre taking on degrees. The sun will have already set by then. The 40s by the end of the game. Be aware of that and i would definitely bundle up because it will be chilly later on this evening. Tonights overnight lows dropping into the 20s and 30s depending on where you live. And a few 40s on the map on the cape and islands. Then tomorrow we do it all over again. Were in the mid 50s. A lot of sunshine but notice that wind turns from the west to the north and west as a cold front trickles on through. Thats why out in western mass, its going to be harder to warm up. Pittsfield will only see a high of 45. Its all due to this cold front that you see up through parts of canada. Then were 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, were 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 im talking about the rain its not all that much any its only to graze us but its 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 us could get involved. Either way you look at it, it will still be cloudy for pretty much everybody. Temperatures will only be in the 40s so its a cool start. Depending on when those showers start, if they start early enough in the morning, there could even be mixed precipitation at the start. It will turn over to just plain old rain though for the cape and islands because temperatures do warm into the mid 40s. And then another warmup happens by next weekend so december looks like its going to be a warm month. Frank and karen.

Still it was the spurs overpowering the cs in the end. Celtics were behind by double digits in the 4th. Isaiah thomas, going into comeback mode, drives past the spurs. Celtics would get within two. Then its Manu Ginobili with a huge three to give the spurs room. Celtics could have given up right there, but jae crowder takes a wild three and makes it to cut the lead to one with 2. 7 seconds left. Crowder gets a chance for a long inbounds pass, but its a little too long and the cs fall short. 108105 in the final in san antonio.

Well, weve had no snow yet to date in boston. By this time of the year we should have about 2. 2 inches on average. Were looking for that. Last year we had 2. 6 inches and in worcester we had 7. 5 inches. No real snow in the forecast but we do have some rain chances on tuesday but that looks confined to the cape and the islands at this point. From this area of low pressure you see there, its going to redevelop over the atlantic ocean. Right now though, High Pressure is in control so that means we are dry. We are clear out there. Some fog developing. Because the temperatures are below the freezing mark, there could also be patchy black ice out there. Please be careful driving. So. We are going to see those temperatures bump up into the lower 50s by about 1 00. Today. 50 degrees at 5 00 p. M. Falling back into the 40s and 30s as we head through the evening. High pressure in control today. Tomorrow. And a cold front is going to come on through and bring down cooler air for tuesday. Even though weve been in the 50s all weekend, well be back in the 40s by tuesday. Theres also our next chance for rain. Karen and frank. Karen thanks, danielle.

Jc this Holiday Season marks a cambridgebased blue jay. The beloved school and dance troupe are celebrating 30 years of staging original ballets and familiar classics.

You know, the lifts are never like grrr, hopefully. Jc mateo has always believed you can change lives through ballet. The Company Works hard at being inclusive reaching out, for instance, to innercity kids who may have never danced and work to go attract more diverse audiences. If youre only going to make it available to those people who have studied ballet for xnumber of years that pool is reduced dramatically. So by opening up the auditions, you entice new people. Jc for 18 of the core dancers, this is their fulltime job. But they sacrifice a lot at the how do you feel about the nutcracker . What does it mean to you . It means christmas. Santa. Everything. It means the kids. It means my childhood. It means everything. Karen tomorrow at 7 30, wreaths from a sudbury greenhouse. Cranberry wine from plymouth. Massachusettsmade makes the season merry.
