shayna: do not cross this line. danielle: you're bring inning the warmer weather for us this weekend. shayna: it felt chilly this danielle: it is cold out there this morning but this weekend will be a mild one and a sunny we have great weekend weather ahead in fact, today we're running below average at 39 degrees. but it won't be too bad outside. once we get towards tomorrow, we're going to warm up into the 50's. we're going stay there on monday and also be in the upper 40's on tuesday. so a warming trend is on the way. that means when our next precipitation chance comes, it's in the form of rain. should be around 41 degrees this time of year. 60 right now in worcester. it's also 19 in lawrence. good morning to you folks in concord at 16. and in the mid 20's on nantucket this morning. we do have a bit of a wind out there. you're going to feel it today. it's out of the west right now, anywhere from 10 to about 12 miles an hour on nantucket. and that is creating a bit of a wind chill so if you're in worcester you're in the single digits as well as in pittsfield and concord and even portsmouth. so just grab a jacket. bundle up. layer up if you're going outside for a run this morning. in fact, as we go through the see those winds pick up and shift to the south and west. they'll blow anywhere from 10-15 miles an hour. and notice we're going to see a lot of sunshine. so upper 30's and low 40's look to be the high temperature today. then as we head towards tomorrow with a southwest wind, things are really going to warm up nicely. tonight we drop back into the 30's. 20's not as cold as this morning for tomorrow morning. and then look at this weather. low 50's worcester. mid 50's in boston. and nice gusty wind out of the south and west at 10-20 miles an hour. so high pressure dominates our weather not only for today but for tomorrow. we're going to watch this system work its way in for sunday. notice it is dry on sunday. it's a bit mild. and those winds are out of the south and west pumping. here we go. it is a cold front so by monday morning, could have a couple of showers in here, say, in northern new england. and then maybe a few across the interior through the afternoon. and then we are going turn cooler as we head towards but we aren't expecting much in terms of precipitation. best chances really north and west on monday. and really only picking up a tenth of an inch of rain. so very light showers. it's actually a pretty good looking forecast for the next couple of days. it's once we get towards wednesday that's our next substantial weather event. it is an area of low pressure and a cold front that is going to work its way through. as it does, it will bring down cooler air. right now it does have a westerly track to it which would mean it's a warmer track bringing in all rain. if that were to shift just a touch to the east we may be talking about mixed precipitation. behind it though we are going to next weekend. doug and shayna. doug: danielle, thank you. 5:15 is your time. some of the other top stories we're following right now. including the accused gunman after a standoff in washington state. sheriff's deputies say the shot four members of his family friday. after a standoff with the swat team that lasted hours, the suspect then shot and killed a 12-year-old girl, who is related to the victims, survived. doug: a west bridgewater driver may be facing criminal charges tonight after crashing his s.u.v. into a house. it happened at 208 matfield street. the chevy tahoe went airborne, flying thirty feet in the air, slamming into the front of this house, causing the driver to be thrown out his side window. police are investigating the crash but say speed was a factor. shayna: a scary sight as another hoverboard explodes inside a home near chicago. you can see it caught on this surveillance video in a kitchen. the hoverboard explodes. and there was a little girl nearby. you can see her walk out of the kitchen just moments before this happened. >> now sportscenter 5 with bob halloran. bob: good morning, everyone. the bruins are the best road team in the nhl. they proved it again last night in carolina. 17 bruins dads, granddads and the bruins will get on the board first. patrice bergeron playing in it's. he is tied for 11th best in bruins' history. an extreme pride is grandfathered in. that's his grandfather. in the first period a great self pass along the boards by this player. he races to the puck and fires from the sharp angle. his 12th of the year. the bruins up 2-0. the relatives are relatively ecstatic. third period boston college fans will remember this. the former eagle shoots from the blue line, misses. kevin millar makes a boo-boo and knocks it in. he does get credit for his third goal of the year. this one is is snapped off. the bruins win 4-1. the bruins are in tampa tomorrow and the celtics are in miami this afternoon. that's sports. have a great day. shayna: feeling depressed? anxious? just can't cope? like with most things, you can get help. doug: one of the first apps to offer mental health services is called "talk-space." and as heather unruh reports, a local therapist is one of many helping a new generation of clients. bisson: really wasn't sure that texting for therapy was the way to go. heather: but these days licensed therapist steve bisson is the one sitting on his couch in massachusetts counseling clients across the country via text and an app. bisson: i've seen so many people really benefit from this type of format that it really has become another tool in my tool belt to just help out. "talk space" with her husband in 2012 offering unlimited accessed a week. roni frank: "unlimited" means that there is no limit to how many messages users can send to their therapist. heather: for replies, therapists create their own schedule usually setting aside a couple hours two or three times each day. roni frank: basically the they're communicating with other people in their lives. it just makes sense to them. heather: the conversations are private, secure, and anonymous. advertisement: so the next time you need to talk to someone, text us. heather: frank says most clients are battling depression, anxiety, or relationship issues. for many, it's the first time they've ever tried counseling. roni frank: they feel more safe. in fact, messaging creates a healthy level of distance. that helps users to get over the shame to open up. heather: for clients requiring more care or even medication, "talk-space" provides referrals to a psychiatrist. advertisement: because your therapist is always with you. heather: for bisson, he continues to see patients at his private practice in holliston. he believes traditional face-to-face methods are still important. bisson: i think creating a relationship when you're looking at someone in the eye and going like this versus like nothing is really essential. benefit to something like "talk-space." bisson: if this is what is going to attract 20% of people who have not reached out otherwise, then i'm all for it. i'm very much for it. shayna: that was heather unruh reporting. bisson's caseload on "talk-space" is growing. he now has about 40 clients around the u.s. doug: the app also offers audio and video access to therapists, right from your smartphone. we first introduced you to them when they survived a car fire on the way to their wedding. shayna: ahead this morning the local couple that has something else to be thankful for. doug: plus dancing your way to better health. the eyeopener's erika tarantal shows us the class making fitness fun. a live shot outside right now. downtown boss tofnlt it's still dark. shayna will tell you it's cold out there. 20 degrees. i'm meteorologist danielle vollmar. in case you've been living under warm one. we take into account december, january, and february. and so far we're number two in terms of the warmest winter on record. we only have a couple more days. today may fall below average, but the next couple after that will be well above average. one of the reasons why is we've had a lot of 50-degree days this winter. nine in boston. last year in worcester 26. last year only three unfortunately. and here is what the month of february looks like. it is is warm. we may have a blue or a red day depending on how warm we get this afternoon. but definitely a red day tomorrow as temperatures start to bump up into the 50's on sunday. i do want to talk about sunday here because the other thing is we're going to have a pretty persisten southwest wind as we go through the afternoon. notice these are the wind speeds. they're up to about 20 to 25 miles an hour. so it is warm. then as we head towards monday, we're going to watch a disturbance come in. as it does come in, it is going to kick out the mild air but out ahead of it, it is so mild that it will be in the form of some rain. only a couple of really hit-or-miss spot showers. the best chances the interior and north and west we're seeing any of those showers. not looking for much in the way of precipitation. maybe a tenth of an inch in total. we are going to cool down though as we head towards the end of the week. doug: danielle, thank you very shayna: we were the first to bring you the story of these whose "i do's" were almost into flames on the way to church!
