"the globe" is reporting tens of thousands of people are expected to attend the weekend rally on boston common. voters will decide in november if the recreational use of marijuana should be real here. antoinette: your economy now. national grid customers could be paying more for natural gas this department of public utilities for permission to raise prices. if approved, a typical residential natural gas customer could see a roughly $14 increase in monthly bills beginning in november. todd: trouble with a pipeline in alabama may drive our gas prices sharply higher. the pipeline, which runs refined gasoline from houston all the way to the northeast, developed a leak this week. part of the pipeline has been shut down for repairs which gallon. the good news -- any price spike shouldn't last too long. once the pipeline is repaired, prices should come down. that should happen within a week. it was the gift of a lifetime, but how the university of new hampshire is spending that gift is raising some eyebrows. antoinette: newscenter 5's ben simmoneau with the campus controversy reporter: for nearly half a century, robert worked at the university of new hampshire library. quietly, the f gave entirely to u.n.h. >> he did leave a small portion to the library. beyond that, it was unrestricted reporter: the university says 2.5 million will go to a larger student career center and one million toward a giant video board at the newly renovated wildcat stadium. >> i think he would have been pleased with it reporter: some are crying foul scoreboard, especially because the university is asking the state for millions. >> that money could go towards lowering the cost of education or their capital drive for new buildings. >> sometimes i think the university system loses perspective of how much a million dollars is to most of us out there and how far that can go on other things reporter: u.n.h. is standing firm, issuing a statement saying, in part, quote, a facility like wildcat stadium transformative to help recruit the best students. the university has historically invested very little in athletics. even the brand-new stadium is modest when you look at the athletic complexes at most other state universities across the country. i'm ben simmoneau, wcvb, newscenter 5. antoinette: a new computer app developed here in boston is helping veterans record their memories. congressman joe kennedy has just unveiled the app in easton. recording an interview with 92-year-old navy veteran arnold marcus. he survived two attacks on his ship in world war ii. >> the idea is to be able to spread the word of it and enable people to gain access to it. >> to try to make sure these stories aren't lost to time. antoinette: until now, veterans who wanted to archive their stories had to make a physical recording and then mail it to washingt, makes it possible to upload the interviews over the internet with just a few clicks, and it is also free. determined veterans on a cross-country mission. todd: the awareness they're hoping to bring veterans that are facing. antoinette: well tell you what parents can do during frustrating fits. the drought is worsening, but that may not be the case on the cape. mike? mike: i am tracking much needed rain. i'll tell you when we could see helping children deal with anger and frustration. just about every child has had a tran trump, and you can see this guy is having one right now. doctors say it's important to remember tantrums can happen when children don't know how to express their feelings. they feel little control and experiencing changes at home or school. parents can help by letting young children make small decisions like what color shirt to wear. it's important to be patient. antoinette: taking notes on t a new study finds what observers have been saying all along. pokemon go players may be putting themselves and others at risk. researchers at san diego state university analyzed 4,000 tweets referencing the game during a 10-day period. 33% of these tweets indicated that a driver, passenger, or a walker was involved with a car while being distracted by the game. researchers then looked at news reports over this same 10-day period, and they found 14 car pokemon game. todd: as the drought worsens across the state, one expert says the cape is doing just fine. the superintendent of the dennis water district tells the "cape cod times" that the area's water supply is actually in good shape. rainfall and well depth are normal. but the cape and islands are on a drought watch. antoinette: that may not be the case for other areas. we keep talk about this, how t we're hoping for outdoor weather. but in this case, we want some of that rain to make it. mike: it would be really nice. it's one of the rare times when you say, oh, i hope it washes out our weekend. it is not going to be a washout. most of the rain is going to be sunday night into monday morning. so you get most of your weekend actually looking pretty decent. let me show you that drought monitor. you can see what's happened. boston for the year is almost 10 inches dry. worcester almost 10 inches dry as well. everyone pretty much in the or the cape and the islands. but this is really, really dry stuff. we're coming off one of the driest summers ever recorded. this month, we just continue that trend. look how much rain we're below just for the month. over 1 1/4 inches. so we need every drop of moisture we're going to get. most of it happening, though, as we talk about tomorrow night into monday. right now, it's 57 degrees. a little bit of a thin overcast out there, but the dew point is very manageable. check out these temperatures this morning. as you're stepping outside, a few places into the 50's. a lot of places into the 40's. we did 39, back up to 40. that was the only place we saw 30's. yesterday, we saw a lot of temperatures dropping off in the 30's. today, boston to p-town, we have the harbor to bay ride taking place. we'll be having bicycle riders going from boston to p-town. temperatures in the 70's. emceed by our own randy price. they'll have great weather for this. that 125-mile ride, they're hoping to raise almost $500,000. mid to upper 70's as you look inland. flirting with 80 in a few spots. most of worcester county, mostly sunny skies and temperatures into the 70's. through the south shore where those bike riders will be going, mid 70's. a southerly breeze. they'll be running into the wind. once they make the turn at chatham, a little bit of a tailwind. as far as temperatures over the cape, it looks like temperatures will be generally into the 70's. over the next three days if you're down toward the cape, we'll stay in the 70's, but watching for thoseca so what's happening out there? well, we've got this system coming in from the west. typically, i would not get too excited about this. we've seen so many of these cold fronts coming in without much going on. we have tropical moisture working its way in ahead of it. we have a better chance of seeing rain this time around. still 1/2 inch to an inch is not a drought-buster but it will help. tomorrow, an overcast day out there. there may be a hit and miss hold off until tomorrow night. i would, if you're planning outdoor activities tomorrow, keep the idea you might have an isolated shower that could pop up. a timeline, see how they're popping up out there? primarily the north and west, but it's not out of the question they could work their way eastward. i think for the patriots game, it's looking drive, but i'd take your foul weather gear for us. monday morning, perhaps a rumble of thunder, and that threat of showers will linger throughout much of the day. the next seven days, today sunshine, tomorrow cloud cover, and we have an opportunity for rain. the rain threat carrying into monday. that's why i say 1/2 to one inch of rain. we go back into a dry spell. we need a four-day rain is what we need. we're not going to be seeing that. we'll be seeing plenty of sunshine. low humidity comes back by wednesday and thursday into the week. looking beautiful. pretty much like what we have going on today. otherwise, we have a little bit of rain coming in for your sunday and monday. hopefully, we'll get something antoinette: checking some of the other stories happening now -- todd: four people are in custody in miami after men with guns were spotted on the roof of a condo complex. the first report was for two armed men. police shut down the area as they moved in to investigate and took the four people in to be questioned. police say they did recover a rifle at the scene. the new york city police officer attacked by a man with a cleaver is the officer was attacked by a man who was trying to remove a boot from his car. he pulled out an 11-inch cleaver when police approached him. police eventually opened fire on the man. that suspect is in critical condition. a giant sinkhole is causing some alarm in central florida and beyond. it opened after a fertilizer facility -- i should say at a fertilizer facility about three weeks ago. police say it's been putting -- holding pond down into the floridi floridian aquifer. the plant is trying to suck the contaminated water out of the aquifer and is monitoring wells. two veterans are walking across the nation on a very serious mission. antoinette: they want the public to better understand the price of returning veterans. todd: the eye's sera congi caught up with these men. i've been through maine, new hampshire, vermont, now massachusetts reporter: a journey on foot to sway minds. kevin kincaid and daniel taylor are walking across the country to raise awareness about the issues veterans face. >> i'm just trying to get the word out so we can get enough people and hopefully reach the right ears of people who can actually make a real change. >> i don't come from a lot of money or anything, but i can definitely walk reporter: kevin, an army veteran receiving lots of support on the road like in leominster, westminster and salem. their journey laid out on facebook, my walk for veterans. each step is motivated by the struggle fellow veterans suffer. >> we've all experienced friends who've been injured in combat, friends who've killed themselves, a good friend of mine actually took his life. a guy that -- he was my roommate after we got back from afghanistan reporter: kevin srt hampshire, who wanted to join the cause. >> they aren't aware of the everyday issues vets go through reporter: kevin and daniel are heading south and then going out west. they will circle all 48 continental states. they are powered by the hope for change. >> i definitely feel motivated, because, i mean, all the support we're getting, all the people pushing. reporter: in boston, sera congi, wcvb newscenter 5. todd: hundreds of cyclists are getting ready to start their annual ride to remember. antoinette: that bike trip honors fallen law enforcement officers, but watertown police officer, brandon o'neil, you see him there, he's running the ride to remember route. he's running for his daughter, savannah, who lost her live to illness at 9 years old. the officer started h run yesterday afternoon. he's meeting cyclists at the state house later on in the day. wow, the ride is long enough as it is. look at him running it. a tricky transplant involving multiple kidneys. todd: how the patients immediate each other and what they're planning for after the transplant. antoinette: plus a one-of-a-kind program launching in boston. how the city is partnering with ride sharing companies to help disabled people. todd: as we take a live look sun starting to make peek through the clouds a little bit. we still have a little ways to go. antoinette: get a little focus on that camera there. todd: it is a beautiful saturday morning. v.o.: kelly ayotte says she's on our side, but on our rights, she's squarely with donald trump. trump: planned parenthood should absolutely be defunded. v.o.: ayotte agrees, voting six times to do just that, defund planned parenthood. and both oppose our right to safe and legal abortion. ayotte: well i certainly think that roe should be overturned... trump: there has to be some form of punishment. matthews: for the woman?

well, we've got this system coming in from the west. typically, i would not get too excited about this. we've seen so many of these cold fronts coming in without much going on. we have tropical moisture working its way in ahead of it. we have a better chance of seeing rain this time around. still 1/2 inch to an inch is not a drought-buster but it will help. tomorrow, an overcast day out there. there may be a hit and miss hold off until tomorrow night. i would, if you're planning outdoor activities tomorrow, keep the idea you might have an isolated shower that could pop up. a timeline, see how they're popping up out there? primarily the north and west, but it's not out of the question they could work their way eastward. i think for the patriots game, it's looking drive, but i'd take your foul weather gear for us. monday morning, perhaps a rumble of thunder, and that threat of showers will linger throughout much of the day. the next seven days, today sunshine, tomorrow cloud cover, and we have an opportunity for rain. the rain threat carrying into monday. that's why i say 1/2 to one inch of rain. we go back into a dry spell. we need a four-day rain is what we need. we're not going to be seeing that. we'll be seeing plenty of sunshine. low humidity comes back by wednesday and thursday into the week. looking beautiful. pretty much like what we have going on today. otherwise, we have a little bit of rain coming in for your sunday and monday. hopefully, we'll get something antoinette: checking some of the other stories happening now -- todd: four people are in custody in miami after men with guns were spotted on the roof of a condo complex. the first report was for two armed men. police shut down the area as they moved in to investigate and took the four people in to be questioned. police say they did recover a rifle at the scene. the new york city police officer attacked by a man with a cleaver is the officer was attacked by a man who was trying to remove a boot from his car. he pulled out an 11-inch cleaver when police approached him. police eventually opened fire on the man. that suspect is in critical condition. a giant sinkhole is causing some alarm in central florida and beyond. it opened after a fertilizer facility -- i should say at a fertilizer facility about three weeks ago. police say it's been putting -- holding pond down into the floridi floridian aquifer. the plant is trying to suck the contaminated water out of the aquifer and is monitoring wells. two veterans are walking across the nation on a very serious mission. antoinette: they want the public to better understand the price of returning veterans. todd: the eye's sera congi caught up with these men. i've been through maine, new hampshire, vermont, now massachusetts reporter: a journey on foot to sway minds. kevin kincaid and daniel taylor are walking across the country to raise awareness about the issues veterans face. >> i'm just trying to get the word out so we can get enough people and hopefully reach the right ears of people who can actually make a real change. >> i don't come from a lot of money or anything, but i can definitely walk reporter: kevin, an army veteran receiving lots of support on the road like in leominster, westminster and salem. their journey laid out on facebook, my walk for veterans. each step is motivated by the struggle fellow veterans suffer. >> we've all experienced friends who've been injured in combat, friends who've killed themselves, a good friend of mine actually took his life. a guy that -- he was my roommate after we got back from afghanistan reporter: kevin srt hampshire, who wanted to join the cause. >> they aren't aware of the everyday issues vets go through reporter: kevin and daniel are heading south and then going out west. they will circle all 48 continental states. they are powered by the hope for change. >> i definitely feel motivated, because, i mean, all the support we're getting, all the people pushing. reporter: in boston, sera congi, wcvb newscenter 5. todd: hundreds of cyclists are getting ready to start their annual ride to remember. antoinette: that bike trip honors fallen law enforcement officers, but watertown police officer, brandon o'neil, you see him there, he's running the ride to remember route. he's running for his daughter, savannah, who lost her live to illness at 9 years old. the officer started h run yesterday afternoon. he's meeting cyclists at the state house later on in the day. wow, the ride is long enough as it is. look at him running it. a tricky transplant involving multiple kidneys. todd: how the patients immediate each other and what they're planning for after the transplant. antoinette: plus a one-of-a-kind program launching in boston. how the city is partnering with ride sharing companies to help disabled people. todd: as we take a live look sun starting to make peek through the clouds a little bit. we still have a little ways to go. antoinette: get a little focus on that camera there. todd: it is a beautiful saturday morning. v.o.: kelly ayotte says she's on our side, but on our rights, she's squarely with donald trump. trump: planned parenthood should absolutely be defunded. v.o.: ayotte agrees, voting six times to do just that, defund planned parenthood. and both oppose our right to safe and legal abortion. ayotte: well i certainly think that roe should be overturned... trump: there has to be some form of punishment. matthews: for the woman?
