00:00:32.920 --> 00:00:35.840
<v Speaker 1>we freeze today with sunshines of clouds and highs and

10
00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:38.359

12
00:00:41.799 --> 00:00:44.799
<v Speaker 1>we are tracking a major storm that could impact us

13
00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:49.000
<v Speaker 1>on Thanksgiving Day as well as Black Friday. Celtics win,

14
00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:51.759
<v Speaker 1>Patriots lows, and the Bruins will tune up for the

00:00:51.799 --> 00:00:55.520
<v Speaker 1>Vancouver Canucks they visit tomorrow night at the Garden. Sunday

<v Speaker 1>night for Philadelphia. Working weekend for President elect Donald Trump

18
00:01:02.359 --> 00:01:05.519
<v Speaker 1>and the transition team. With the selection of Brook Rollins

19
00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:09.079
<v Speaker 1>to run the Agriculture Department. The pick completes the process

20
00:01:09.120 --> 00:01:13.079
<v Speaker 1>of staffing the cabinet before the Thanksgiving holiday target. Meantime,

21
00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:16.599
<v Speaker 1>a newly released CBS News poll finds most American voters

22
00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:19.120
<v Speaker 1>approve of the way mister Trump is handling the transition

23
00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:22.959
<v Speaker 1>to this point, including near universal support from Republicans who

24
00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:26.519
<v Speaker 1>backed Trump for reelection. The survey also finds a majority

25
00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:29.040
<v Speaker 1>of voters are either happy or at least satisfied that

26
00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:32.120
<v Speaker 1>mister Trump won the election and are optimistic to see

27
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:35.079
<v Speaker 1>what's in store. The President elect already gets the thumbs

28
00:01:35.159 --> 00:01:38.239
<v Speaker 1>up from his supporters, who feel the US economy is

29
00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:42.680
<v Speaker 1>already improving well. This will be the busiest Thanksgiving in

30
00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:46.680
<v Speaker 1>history for travelers. Triple A says it expects some eighty

31
00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:49.719
<v Speaker 1>million of US will travel at least fifty miles somewhere

32
00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:53.840
<v Speaker 1>this week. Wbz's Drew m'hollands has drilled these numbers into

33
00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:56.640
<v Speaker 1>our heads for the past several days. He brings us

34
00:01:56.640 --> 00:01:57.879
<v Speaker 1>the latest this morning.

35
00:01:57.680 --> 00:01:59.560
<v Speaker 2>Only a short time more to talk about it. Right,

36
00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:01.359
<v Speaker 2>most of us going to travel by car, but the

37
00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:03.599
<v Speaker 2>airlines are going to steal the headlines. You are just

38
00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:06.079
<v Speaker 2>going to sit at home and host and the people

39
00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:08.960
<v Speaker 2>come to me a pair of storm systems that is

40
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:11.159
<v Speaker 2>expected to attack the East Coast this week. One has

41
00:02:11.159 --> 00:02:13.520
<v Speaker 2>the potential to be in Nor'easter on the holiday itself.

42
00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:16.919
<v Speaker 2>We're watching that gas prices have stabilized for your steering

43
00:02:16.919 --> 00:02:19.439
<v Speaker 2>wheel and hands, but Triple Ray reports an average price

44
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:21.400
<v Speaker 2>of three dollars and three cents a gallon for regular

45
00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:24.080
<v Speaker 2>unleaded right now in mess. That is up a penny

46
00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:25.120
<v Speaker 2>Jeffrey from last week.

47
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:27.199
<v Speaker 1>That's not what we want to see. Well, but people

48
00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:30.039
<v Speaker 1>got to go. They're gonna drive anyway, right, They're gonna

49
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:32.879
<v Speaker 1>drive to your host. Yes, exactly, thank you, Thank you, Drew.

50
00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:35.639
<v Speaker 1>As if going somewhere when everyone else wants to do

51
00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:38.360
<v Speaker 1>the same thing isn't too much to take a staff

52
00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:42.080
<v Speaker 1>shortage that the FAA has the nation's control towers working

53
00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:44.879
<v Speaker 1>on Plan B this week. The federal agency says it

54
00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:48.800
<v Speaker 1>will throttle traffic over the next several days. Officials admit

55
00:02:48.879 --> 00:02:51.680
<v Speaker 1>they will be short staffed over the busiest travel days

56
00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:55.080
<v Speaker 1>of the year, but safety comes first, and air traffic

57
00:02:55.159 --> 00:02:58.240
<v Speaker 1>is expected to be slowed during some of the busiest

58
00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:02.000
<v Speaker 1>times so controllers can simply keep Airlines have added thousands

59
00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:05.319
<v Speaker 1>of seats this week to meet the crushing demand. And

60
00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:08.919
<v Speaker 1>let's talk about holiday shopping, because that's already underway for

61
00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:11.240
<v Speaker 1>many of us. If you tend to cheap out on

62
00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:13.639
<v Speaker 1>the presence this year, this could be your year. A

63
00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:17.960
<v Speaker 1>nationally representative survey from wallet hub shows many consumers are

64
00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:20.479
<v Speaker 1>planning on cutting back on holidays spending.

65
00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:23.000
<v Speaker 3>Sanna is going to be the grinch. Sixty eight percent

66
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:25.919
<v Speaker 3>of people expect Santa to be less generous because of

67
00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:26.919
<v Speaker 3>rising prices.

<v Speaker 1>Wallet hubs chip Loopoh.

69
00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:31.080
<v Speaker 3>Thirty one percent of those said that they're going to

70
00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:33.879
<v Speaker 3>spend less on gifts this year compared to last. It's

71
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:38.639
<v Speaker 3>also infecting charitable giving seventy two percent. Inflation has influenced

74
00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:47.319
<v Speaker 1>coming up next. It is a delightful thirty eight degrees

75
00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:50.199
<v Speaker 1>out the door and crystal clear skies. This morning looks

76
00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:52.039
<v Speaker 1>like overall today is going to be a decent day

77
00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:54.919
<v Speaker 1>with more sunshine than clouds. Highs in the lower fifties,

78
00:03:54.919 --> 00:03:57.199
<v Speaker 1>so pretty much where we should be this time of year.

79
00:03:57.240 --> 00:04:00.520
<v Speaker 1>Clouds are on the increase overnight tonight as many areas

80
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:03.400
<v Speaker 1>drop back to around the freezing mark and then tomorrow,

81
00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:06.840
<v Speaker 1>looks like clouds will dominate, breezy conditions, some rain on

82
00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:09.159
<v Speaker 1>the way once again we're in the lower fifties. But

83
00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:11.960
<v Speaker 1>the main event, of course, is coming up on Thursday,

84
00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:14.280
<v Speaker 1>and not only is it our holiday, but we're also

85
00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:18.879
<v Speaker 1>tracking the possibility of a major storm, which depending on

86
00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:22.519
<v Speaker 1>how far south it travels close to New England, it

87
00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:25.199
<v Speaker 1>could have the impact of a major nor'easter. As it

88
00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:28.439
<v Speaker 1>stands right now, it looks like at least later in

89
00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:30.360
<v Speaker 1>the day we're going to see some rainfall here in

90
00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:34.560
<v Speaker 1>the Greater Boston area, north central Massachusetts into southern New

91
00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:37.839
<v Speaker 1>Hampshire and beyond. This is mostly going to be snow,

92
00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:40.279
<v Speaker 1>but here in Greater Boston looks like it's going to

93
00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:41.920
<v Speaker 1>be a rainstorm and that's going to extend into the

94
00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:45.000
<v Speaker 1>black Friday hours as well. Well. No more when we

95
00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:47.319
<v Speaker 1>get a little bit closer, because the track can change

96
00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:49.439
<v Speaker 1>and that can make all the difference in the world.

97
00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:52.399
<v Speaker 1>Here right now in Boston, clear skies and a big

98
00:04:52.399 --> 00:04:54.480
<v Speaker 1>thumbs up. It's thirty eight degrees out the door this

99
00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:57.319
<v Speaker 1>Monday morning at six o six. The Karen Reid case

100
00:04:57.399 --> 00:04:58.959

104
00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:13.120
<v Speaker 4>of the Norfolk District Attorney, Michael Morrissey. Meanwhile, prosecutors have

105
00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:16.160
<v Speaker 4>requested the call and textata from the phones of Reed's

106
