I approve this message. Christa so if you have any lastminute decorateing to do, i guess its not technically last minute, we have two weeks to go, which is plenty of time, especially for procrastinators like me. But great day to get out there and put the Christmas Lights on. Sarah one of my favorite thing is driving around and seeing all the Christmas Lights and how people decorate their houses differently. Jeremy have you been to kris andersons pad . Hes got a display. Sarah i bet he goes all out. Takes a hit on that one, im sure, but a good display nonetheless. Some sprinkles early this morning. No cold air. Were talking about some sun in the afternoon, and the next several days loaded with temperatures in the 50s to around 60 degrees. Boston at 45. Fitchburg 44. Worcester at 43. Hyannis at 48. So warm because we have clouds, and there have been a couple sprinkles and even a few spot showers back through the worcester hills, although when this came through hartford, this looks bad and nasty, this green and yellow, but it didnt even register any precipitation on the rain gauge, less than 100th of an inch. So i dont think it does much. Again, having an umbrella or your rain gear for maybe ten or 15 minutes as it moves through, i think thats all youll need. Then you are definitely done with the iran gear by about 8 00, 9 00 a. M. , because the threat at that time is gone, and even between new and then its not much of a threat. Well see some sun develop by lunchtime and more so this afternoon with temperatures this afternoon heading for the upper 50s. Oddly enough, it is a cool front demands on where the front came from. If it came from the Arctic Circle or the north pole, there would be a lot of cold air, but this one came from seattle. Theres no cold air out there. Thats why temperatures this afternoon, even though were having a cool front move through, its kind of kooky wacky. Upper 50s this afternoon. The city at 59 later today. Fitchburg 55. Keep in mind our normal high is about 43, way above normal, more like the end of october, early november and december. Tonight mostly cloudy. Still mild. 42 to 46. There may be a couple rain showers tomorrow morning on cape cod. I think for metro boston, just a bunch of clouds. Like today, developing sunshine by lunchtime in the afternoon. And pleasant. Temps tomorrow upper 50s to around 60 degrees. Saturday lower 60s. Now sunday it gets a little tricky with temperatures on sunday afternoon in the upper 50s. The reason i say that is because there will be a front trying the find a home here in southern new england. And that front will be a dividing line between chilly air in Northern New England, 40s, if we were to get this warm air into new england, perhaps we would challenge records. I dont think were going to do that, though, because this front is going to be pretty much along the mass pike. So southern New Hampshire, your numbers will probably only be near 50 degrees. City of boston, probably low to middle 50s. But then you work down toward say dighton and foxborough and plymouth. I think sunday afternoon your temperatures could be in the low 60s. See you in a bit. Christa j. R. , thank you. New this morning an 18wheeler carrying chemicals suddenly explodes on a highway in alabama. Everybody within a half mile of this truck had to evacuate as a precaution. The driver got out of the truck an he called 911 when he smelled an odor. Luckily no one was hurt.

Two women were hurt, one of them pretty severely, by flying objects at fenway. Now the sox are moving forward with these changes, so lets head out live to talk about them with 7s Nicole Oliverio. Nicole, whats being done out there . Nicole well, christa, the first teams who have gone ahead and said theyre going to make these changes. Obviously its going to change the view for fans in the stands. However, the sox said they want to do whatever they can to make sure that theyre better protected. The red sox agreed to be one of the First Major League teams to try and bet brother tent fans from getting hurt by foul balls and broken bats. Announcing the organization will add more netting between home plate and the dougout. If you can avoid someone getting hurt, thats what you should do. Nicole those nets will likely prevent injuries, including the ones suffered by sox fans, Tonya Carpenter and stephanie wapenski. Carpenter was nearly killed by a broken bat last june. She and her son were sitting near the dougout in a section that wasnt behind protective net. Then just weeks later, wapenski, who was at the game celebrating her oneyear engagement, was also hit in the face by a foul ball. It was as scary as you can imagine.

Its a tough call. Its going to change the view. Its going to be a whole different view. But it will add a lot of safety. If youre not paying attention and youre sitting in those seats, youre at risk. Safety is definitely more opinion than game obstruction in my opinion. Thats just me. Nicole according to the Boston Herald, wapenski didnt want to file a legal lawsuit against the red sox. En stead she wanted to get married here at the ballpark. Reportedly the red sox have agreed and have waived the 10,000 fee. Live from fenway, Nicole Oliverio, 7news today in new england.
