00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:46.639
<v Speaker 7>the time has come to wrap it up. He won

00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:50.039
<v Speaker 7>all the big ones, Jeffrey, but fourteen French Open titles

71
00:03:50.120 --> 00:03:51.719

<v Speaker 1>the city and the reading is at forty eight degree

75
00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:02.639
<v Speaker 1>and this would mark the first time in several months

76
00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:06.120
<v Speaker 1>that the temperature in Boston has fallen below the fifty

77
00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:09.000
<v Speaker 1>degree mark. We'll wait for the official declaration coming up.

78
00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:11.680
<v Speaker 1>But in other areas where showing some thirties on the

79
00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:14.599
<v Speaker 1>board this morning, fall is kicking into gear. It is

80
00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:16.920
<v Speaker 1>going to be a beautiful day today, a little breezy

81
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:20.120
<v Speaker 1>and a little cool too. High Temperatures in many areas

82
00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:23.759
<v Speaker 1>will stall in the fifties. The best will do lower

83
00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:26.240
<v Speaker 1>sixties today, but we're warming up as we head into

84
00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:29.600
<v Speaker 1>the holiday weekend. Clear and cold overnight tonight again thirties

85
00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:32.480
<v Speaker 1>and forties, mostly sunny, mid sixties Tomorrow, will be in

86
00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:36.680
<v Speaker 1>the lower seventies on Saturday, and slightly cooler on Sunday

87
00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:39.600
<v Speaker 1>as we work our way through this long weekend coming

88
00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:42.319
<v Speaker 1>up right now, Clear skies in forty eight here in

89
00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:45.000
<v Speaker 1>Boston on this Thursday morning, it's six oh five. Some

90
00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:47.800
<v Speaker 1>warnings in the driver's seat are about to get a

91
00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:49.000
<v Speaker 1>little more noticeable.

92
00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:51.839
<v Speaker 8>Failure to buckle up continues to play a large role

93
00:04:51.959 --> 00:04:56.399
<v Speaker 8>in fatal accident. An IIHS study found a persistent reminder

94
00:04:56.639 --> 00:04:59.279
<v Speaker 8>was much more effective at getting part time seat belt

95
00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:02.720
<v Speaker 8>wearers to buckle up than a minimal reminder. It found

96
00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:06.439
<v Speaker 8>an audible reminder that lasted at least ninety seconds increased

97
00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:09.759
<v Speaker 8>belt use by around thirty percent, and that could mean

98
00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:13.199
<v Speaker 8>saving almost sixteen hundred lives a year if every vehicle

99
00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:16.839
<v Speaker 8>on the road was equipped with that ninety second reminder.

100
00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:20.040
<v Speaker 1>That is CBS's Chris Van Cleeve number show front seat

101
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:24.040
<v Speaker 1>belt use decreases the risk of deadly injury injuries by

102
00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:28.680
<v Speaker 1>forty five percent. Today is World Mental Health Day and

103
00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:30.800
<v Speaker 1>it's time to do yourself a favor.

104

110
00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:57.519
<v Speaker 4>you biking this early in the morning. Blue Cross, Blue
