across the cape. have had a lot of ocean-effect cloud cover. didn't see that up there in marblehead. you look off to the east there. you see it into the gulf of maine. a few more clouds backing in along the coastline tonight. especially lip across the cape. maybe isolate sprinkles or showers across tomorrow afternoon, clouds thickening up. rain starts to break on out. there is going to be enough cold air or even into worcester county, wouldn't be surprised to see a few wet snowflakes or sleet pellets mixed in before the flip completely over to rain. not expecting the accumulation of snow or sleet from worcester county east to boston. however, out there into berkshires, north western connecticut, maybe in the hillier terrain, some minor accumulations. several inches likely in the higher terrain of vermont. perhaps, some of the mountains in maine picking up half a look at the wall of rain that works on through overnight tomorrow into friday morning. that will provide us with a good inch, to an inch and a half of water. in terms of the snowfall totals, again, from worcester county east, don't really expect much. you start getting up there near north adams, southern vermont, could be several inches in the highest terrain. here are the rain totals. there will be a gusty wind that develops along the south coast of new england. more on that. over to danielle. >> danielle: thanks, chris. along with all of that rain, we will see some wind, too. for tomorrow evening, it is just breezy. overnight is when those winds really pick up. you can see these reds along the coast. this is where we can see winds gusting anywhere from 30-40 miles an hour. especially out along the cape and the islands, too. it is going to be very windy friday morning. bum we do still need the rain. even though so far this month, we have picked up a little bit over four inches. for the first time, we are above average since february. did the entire summer. the average temperature, hard to believe if you walk outside today, our average for the month is almost three degrees above where we should be. we were in the 80's last week. the 40's right now, definitely chilly. we are going to end the month on a chilly note. chris, back to you. >> chris: knocking down those averages, certainly, over the next couple of days. many days have been below average. looking forward into the 7-day forecast. sunshine and clouds today. a good 8-10 degrees cooler than the average. afternoon. 42 in worcester. cold tonight. mid to up 20er's in the western suburbs. more clouds late overnight tonight. clouds thickening up tomorrow. the rain arriving in the afternoon. the heavy rain, the downpours likely holding off until tomorrow night. again, initially, some cold air in place. you may see sleet and wet snowflakes mixed in. north and west of 495. early in the afternoon. before the transition over to complete rain there. the ground is warm. surface temperatures above freezing. so again, i'm not expecting until you get into western massachusetts. up into the berkshires. seasonable weekend. 's back in place. isolated shower late saturday into sunday. >> sarah: all right. looks like things are going to be okay right now. justin timberlake has been involved in a selfie scandal. he snapped a photo while he was casting his early vote for president. he said his goal really was just to try to persuade other people to get out there and vote. >> sarah: turns out he was breaking the law, actually. pop star justin timberlake in a selfie controversy. his 37 million followers on instagram with the caption "get out and vote." the problem is taking a photo in a voting booth is illegal. officials sail he could have faced up to 30 days in jail and a $50 fine. but they have said it won't be under criminal review. >> unscrupulous politicians in years past have been known to exchange money for proof that you voted for them. >> reporter: on his way out of the church, he took selfies >> he grabbed my phone. stuck his arm out. i said "i guess you have done this several times." he said "yes, i have gorilla arms. so it's easy. " a couple other things you can't do near a voting booth, campaigning near a voting location and wearing clothing that supports any of the candidates. because you can't legally advocate for a candidate at the polls. >> leave your i'm with her and make america great t-shirts at home. >> you show up to vote wearing them, we will ask you change or turn them inside-out so they can't be seen. >> sarah: timberlake is free to go. fellow voters agree with the decision. >> i think it is so great that he got the message out to vote. >> sarah: the d.a.'s office says their initial response was not correct and was released without their knowledge. >> christa: copping up, homes in disrepair. how you could be paying a price for so-called zombie homes in your town. ... this is where ayotte voted with the koch brothers 90% of the time. ayotte's campaigns collected millions from corporate interests. and voted for them, not you. she voted wall street banks billions in write offs for executive bonuses. voted big oil billions in tax breaks. but kelly ayotte voted against letting families refinance student loans. and against lowering the cost of prescription drugs. kelly ayotte's not working for new hampshire. dscc is responsible for the content of this advertising. joanne: she's not fooling me. he's even playing politic games with medicare. vo: kelly ayotte voted to cut medicare and cost seniors up to $1,700 more for prescriptions... while protecting tax breaks for the wall street banks and big oil companies that fund her campaign. fred: kelly ayotte sold us out. britt: with kelly ayotte, it's all politics. joanne: she's not looking out for new hampshire anymore. vo: senate majority pac is responsible >> christa: zombie homes, as they are called, are homes that are left abandoned after their owners are forced out. >> sarah: who is responsible? and why do you end up paying? this afternoon, hank investigates. >> reporter: it happens in neighborhoods and in tree-line suburbia. once desirable homes now empty. abandoned after banks threatened owners with foreclosure. now look what inspectors are finding behind their closed doors. in this empty worcester home, an ugly stash of junk and needles. in clinton, beers can and empty liquor bottles stacked to the ceiling. experts call them zombie homes. >> it is a huge problem that doesn't get the attention it really deserves. cleaning up these once attractive houses? after the owners vanished, banks and lenders ignored the homes. why do the lenders leave the houses like that? >> i don't know. we can't get an answer. we asked that question frequently. we never get an answer to that question. >> reporter: what do you think about that? >> it's terrible. >> reporter: we found communities struggling to fight zombies. and we found there are hundreds of them state wooird. which are often falling apart and dangerous. sometimes squatters sneak inside. and often property taxes. >> the rest of the community is left to pay the price of this neglect. >> reporter: the zombie plague is spreading. in massachusetts this year, the number has already gone up 20%. >> this one in freezing raining ham,... in framingham, the town has turned to the attorney general's office for help tracking down an owner, a bank, someone who take affects property taxes. how people live. health and safety of neighborhoods. very important. >> reporter: experts tell us neighborhoods residents can be part of the solution. if you see a house you suspect has gone zombie, call your local officials and report it. in the newsroom, i'm hank phillippi ryan. massachusetts has many great public schools, and we took it for granted that our kids would go to great public schools. but some kids aren't so lucky. where they live, they don't go to a great school, and they have no choice. imagine if your kids were trapped in a failing school. public charter schools give parents a choice and are a pathway to success for these kids. if you like your school, question 2 won't affect you. but question 2 will change the future for thousands of kids who need your help. please join me and ?

>> christa: the rolling stones performing last night at gillette stadium. you probably didn't have the chance to see it or maybe you didn't hear about it. a private performance at a party hosted by patriots owner robert kraft. about 200 people were there. and according to the "globe," the u.s. secretary of state john kerry, tommy hilfiger and patriots receiver julian edelman were in the crowd. i would love to just see those three people at a party together. >> sarah: i know. >> christa: that would be quite entertaining. >> sarah: must be nice to have a private show. >> chris: we can't make the cut, guys. sorry to say. 42-48 degrees. afternoon sprinkle across the cape. otherwise, mix of sun and clouds. rain picking up tomorrow. heaviest at night. seasonable this weekend. >> sarah: thank you for joining us today. i'm sarah french. >> christa: i'm christa the outside corporate interests bankrolling question two are trying to deceive you. here's the truth: every time a new charter school opens, it drains money from the existing public schools. which means real cuts to our kids - in arts, technology, ap classes, pre-school, bus service and more. that's why question two's opposed by the massachusetts pta and school committees all across the state.
