Speaker 1: We have had a fairly mild day, not everywhere though.
Speaker 1: We've hung in the low sixties in some spots though
Speaker 1: we've gotten into the low seventies and others, so it
Speaker 1: just depends on where you are. We've had some sunshine around,
Speaker 1: also some clouds and a little bit of a smoky
Speaker 1: haze from time to time, partly cloudy. Tonight it will
Speaker 1: be on the milder side, certainly for the end of
Speaker 1: October fifty seven in Boston, about fifty in the suburbs.
Speaker 1: Tomorrow we're going to warm things up nicely into the
Speaker 1: upper seventies. Probably will not make the record of eighty
Speaker 1: one said in Boston in nineteen forty six, but nonetheless
Speaker 1: it will be a pretty warm day with sunshine around
Speaker 1: and a little bit of a breeze. Tricker treaders will
Speaker 1: enjoy going out in temperatures in the seventies low seventies,
Speaker 1: probably for most of the trick or treaders. Later Tomorrow
Speaker 1: night will be partly cloudy with temperatures in the mid sixties,
Speaker 1: and then Friday still near record warmth. The record on
Speaker 1: Friday is only seventy seven, so we got a chance
Speaker 1: of getting there. It'll be in the mid to upper seventies,
Speaker 1: so we'll see sunshine around later in the day after
Speaker 1: a couple of showers. Early Saturday and Sunday will feature sunshine,
Speaker 1: so that's nice, but will also feature temperatures in the
Speaker 1: mid fifties. But then again, it'll be the beginning of
Speaker 1: November then, so what do you expect sixty five? Right now?

Speaker 1: to stay, at least for now. Wdbz's Nicole Davis with more.
Speaker 4: People from all over the world love the Pink House

Speaker 4: to save it over the years. A land exchange program
Speaker 4: not working out, a government auction for somebody to buy
Speaker 4: up the building and move it ended without one bid.

Speaker 5: a modified straight pipe exhaust That popping sound mimics gunfire
Speaker 5: and Somerville police say it's not just causing panic for neighbors,
Speaker 5: it's setting off their gunfire detection systems. Please tell me.
Speaker 5: At least twice recently they've rush to the area of
Speaker 5: Foss Park for a potential shooting, only to find it
Speaker 5: with some troublemaker with a tricked out car. That rapid
Speaker 5: response itself also creates a greater risk that someone will
Speaker 5: get hurt in a crash. Police are trying to remind
Speaker 5: folks that any modified exhaust is illegal in Massachusetts. It
Speaker 5: should be noted groups like the ACLU have criticized the
Speaker 5: use of shot spotter systems, partly because they're prone to
Speaker 5: these kinds of false alarms. In East Summerville, I'm Madison
