This is an editorial by wcvbtv channel 5 president and general manager bill fine. Bill fine in just the few weeks since governor bakers pledge of much Better Service on the mbta, substantial problems are piling up. Commuter trains are overcrowded with more limited seats than contracted for; a runaway train barreled down the red line; also, what looms as, a mistake in our mind, the elimination of late night t service; and on top of all those issues, some expansion plans are being scrapped, changed, or potentially eliminated altogether. Even a lack of snow cant help stem the tide of bad news. All of this indicates commuters are unlikely to see a well oiled, muchimproved operation in the months ahead. We remain hopeful; but as we have said before, hope is not a strategy. The governor may take a hit on t issues, but he deserves more cooperation from the legislature and the medical community on his plans to deal with the Opioid Crisis. A Public Service campaign begun staggering extent of the problem, but the surge of abuse has not diminished. Bakers plan to limit initial prescriptions of opioids to just a 72hour supply for new patients is one of many ideas worthy of discussion. The initial reaction of lawmakers and doctors was unfavorable to that drastic step. But surely there is a middle ground between 72 hours and the frequent overprescription of 30 to 90 days worth of pills medication that often goes unused and is a potential source of supply for addicts whose growing number includes those patients baker is seeking to protect. The governor has signaled a strong willingness to discuss his proposal with all stakeholders and has an open mind to a mutually agreeable solution. He shouldnt be left hanging. This ongoing and still growing crisis demands forceful and now on newscenter 5s eyeopener. Danielle its going to feel a whole lot more like december but im tracking changes for the week ahead.

But its not just the air temperature were talking about. Its those really persistent winds weve had all morning long out of the west making it feel even colder. Were in the 30s. The mid 30s and upper 30s down along the cape and islands. Over the next 12 hours, you should warm up into the low 40s. Notice even though we have clouds this morning, well see but because were in the 40s with those winds, it feels more like the 30s pretty much all day long. I want to show you those winds are gusting upwards of 24 miles an hour on nantucket. 25mileperhour winds on block island making it feel like 29 in boston. 29 on the cape and in the teens out in western mass. So that is the idea as we go through the afternoon. Were going to warm up into the upper 30s.

Frank holland, wcvb, newscenter 5. Now your storm team 5 forecast with meterologist danielle vollmar. Sera big shopping day. Big shopping weekend really. Within a week of christmas. Hopefully you have your gifts. If you havent yet, its on the doorstep. It doesnt feel like it or hasnt felt like it in the last several weeks. Sera thats true. Danielle but today it feels very cold out there. Its a big change. Its windy and cold this morning and through the afternoon. But you dont have to get too used to that because another mild week is ahead beginning on monday and also some chances for some muchneeded rain. We really do need it. Thats coming pretty much all week long. Well detail that in just a second. But first this morning, if youre stepping outside the door right this moment, it is 36 in boston, 34 in plymouth. 31 degrees in worcester right now. And 30 degrees right now in keene. But then you have to factor in those winds. Those winds are pretty strong out of the west. Anywhere from 917 miles an hour sustained. Gusts 25 to about 30 at this point. And it makes it feel even colder. Thats that wind chill value so it feels more like 29 degrees in boston, like 21 in worcester. And like the teens out in western massachusetts. And thats going to be the case pretty much all day long. Temperaturewise we only warm up into the upper 30s and low 40s but with those very strong, persistent winds, all day long, i dont think its going to feel more like the lower 30s or even upper 20s. This morning because of those strong winds were getting lakeeffect snow from ontario and erie coming closer to our region. You can see a couple of snow showers here out towards southern vermont. These are towards parts of southern New Hampshire near jaffrey, for example, where visibilities are down to about two miles so there could be some heavier bands of snow trying to make their way all the way down to the ground. If theyre making it to the ground that is one thing but were watching it. Its all due to this cold front. This cold front has really turned up the winds for the day today. The future cast, were going to leave a couple of flurries in the forecast at least through the Morning Hours, i think, especially western mass, but then we start to clear out as we head towards afternoon and evening pretty much everywhere. Tonight dropping back into the 20s for overnight lows and then tomorrow were going to do it all over again but we have a little less wind and that wind starts to turn to the south and west tomorrow so it will feel a little better outside. Were still cold in the morning. By the afternoon were moderating just a touch. Then this warm frontal boundary will push on through on monday especially monday afternoon and evening. Thats going to bring in much milder air as we head towards monday and even tuesday. In fact, whats also happening too is that jetstream is really retreating back into canada this week.
