metro trains. we first told you about it. now what is being done. this is chicago's very own wgn news at 9:00. a suspicious package, a suitcase wrapped at an l squad with a bomb squad on the scene. a very tense night, especially for this guy on the north side. >> our top stories seen around the country. six lanes of traffic all trains and everything else stopped at the blue line addison station. we are there. finally got the all clear. . >> reporter: almost the all clear. we are standing right new just east of the l stop as well as east of the kennedy expressway. and right here it's filled with neighborhoods, homes and alleys that overlook the express wais

as well as the station. to ta --;ñ?ñ? expressway as wes the station. tonight a suspicious package. at some point someone called#mñt in around 6:40 in the evening.a? when we arrived to the scene, all lanes of lanes of traffic@ñ? were stopped on the kennedy in both directions and thereñ?ñ? be line had been halted. not a sole at the addison stop. not a sole until 7:30 p.m. when a man cautiously approached the briefcase. backed away. he returned minutes later, took his equipment and backed away a second time leading the briefcase just where it was. the next time he came back, he had opened it.5qñ?ñ? just four trips back to the scene, the man fromñ?ñ?ñ? the bb squad was in nothing more than plain clothes. no suit of armor. he took pictures, packed up the once suspiciousykñ?ñ? briefcased took it with him.

by then lanes of traffic were backed up. the worst news is the kennedy was shut down for more than an hour. no blue line traffic either. and the latest from the cpa is that the blue line traffic is running again. and by passing the addison stop which is right here behind me. we just saw our first l train. shuttles are in service to get people from the addison area where they still need to go. but, again, the trains while they're running are not stopping here at addison. as for what was actually inside that briefcase, we don't know. none of the experts or authorities are telling us at this time. we suspect someone two or from o'hare left their briefcase and caused a whole lot of trouble. >> all that for that. julie ann drew reporting from the blue line. new developments tonight in the race for the mayor of chicago as we try to work to keep you up-to-date on who is in and who is out. tom negovan is on it tonight.

officers on duty. >> instead of trying to govern, they keep trying to cut things off. and when it comes down to the is what everybody really counts on. >> reporter: prospect heights city leaders sy the last thing they wanted to do was to lay off the officers, but there is not enough money to keep them. the city imposed 30 furlough days for all employees. the police union challenged that saying it was illegal to make officers take furlough days. the police union won so the city claimed they had no choice but to make the layoffs. >> nobody on the city council disputes the fact they would like to fully fund the police department. that is not possible. >> reporter: alderman we spoke with tonight say the police union is partly to blame. >> the city's hands are tied and we have to lay off these six employees unfortunately. i really wish that the union had been worked with the city and had a better longer range of vision and worked with the city on the furloughs so that everybody could keep their job,

especially now during the holidays. >> reporter: the layoffs are effective immedy . it leaves the city with eight patrol officers, four sergeants and two commanders. now, the city of prospect heights isn't alone tonight in terms of laying off police officers who have also learned that the naperville police department has laid off seven police officers. they're facing some tough economic times right now facing a $5 million budget deficit. the city manager says it's possible they'll have to lay off even more officers and potentially some firefighters as well. mark and micah. >> all right, dab. reporting from prospect heights. thanks. a new security measures on u.s. planes is has a ban on toner and ink car trijs. they discovered bombs shipped inside printers and packages from yemen. now all cartridges or shipments are now banned on all u.s. flights. it has now been expanded to somalia. hundreds of thousands of eggs sold in illinois and seven

it's down to 50, though, at o'hare. the air is dry so it warms up fast but it cools off fast. and this is kind of interesting. a little bit of an easterly component to the south wind. that means the wind will be slicing in through the lake to our north shores. there will be a little bit of a lake cooling there but low 70s are expected back in the south and west suburbs tomorrow. 58 at midway airport. there are dew points so it gives you an idea the air is dry when you have 30-degree dew points and we have a ways to go in terms of temperatures dropping. this is madison, new york and brooklyn. and the point we're making here is we're somehow managing to sandwich ourselves in the nicest weather in the country. there is quite a storm blowing out in the east and another out to the west. the mountains east of fresno have had up to 14 inches of snow, and there's big snows falling in the tetans. even southern alaska wound up with the first snowstorm today

in the anchorage area. but we continue in the sunshine here as we will the next couple of days. there are frost advisories in alabama and north florida tonight. and these are winter weather advisories for snow which our rpm model shows you. you'll notice the dark blue areas, each of the areas maximizes snow. dips indicating a punch of cool air and when that happens out west, the flow turns southerly here and we warm up. it's bonus time. so we have at least three to four more days of the mild weather to go the rest of the work week. 76 in rampant city and here is the reality check. that is the cool temperatures that has it down to 20. some of the cool air we have a big cooloff in the next two weeks. 95% see measurable snow from this point forward and about 67% of those years we'll see in the next month here about an inch or

more of snow. about a third of the year we'll see three inches or more. but we don't worry about that right away. we had lake-effect snow over the weekend. it melted in indiana. and tonight temperatures are seven degrees warmer than they were 24 hours ago as the southeast winds blow and the humidity stands at 27%. you'll see how the southerly flow that keeps us warm through the end of the week gives way to a couple of these storm producing dips. one system will move through southern midwest and could send some rain up here late friday or saturday. then the flow begins to buckle again, and look at this trough here. some of the models are developing quite an active autumn storm is that would come up here with cool rains, maybe even close to the rain-snow line by tuesday of next week and some really chilly air expected to dump in behind that. but for the moment even the low temperatures which is what you're seeing on this map aren't a dom

abominable. they're occurring in the low elevations out west and yet we stay high and dry here in chicago. look at all of the action out on either side of us. our forecast is for clear and mild weather tonight. mild by early november standards. low temperature 40 inland ranging to the upper 30s on chicago's shoreline. 45 at o'hare will be our low for tonight. then tomorrow beautiful day again. mostly sunny. unseasonably warm. temperatures low 60s. waukegan, kenosha and zion to 68 at o'hare and low 70s south and west suburbs. so kankakee, joliet, aurora, fair and mild. low 40s inland. 50 lakeshore. 45 at o'hare.

second half. dmitri to mike davis. bears receiver earl bennett got rear eveneded driving his 1973 impala. classic. everybody is okay there. and if you are like most bears fans, you need to be convinced a little more before you totally buy into these guys being playoff contenders. second half starts next sunday against the vikings. the bears went to 5-3 in toronto yesterday. much better balance on offense. they didn't run for a ton of yards. and buffalo's run defense isn't very good. but matt forte helped put the bills back on their heels. got a rushing touchdown at the goal line. their first one in eight games. lovey enjoyed the game. >> when i say balance, i'm talking about having a commitment to both. giving what the defense gives you. but you have to be productive in both areas. with us it's about being able to

run the ball more. we talk a lot about chester. i talked about getting matt involved and i think they had over 28 touches run and pass. to me that's the balance i'm talking about is just being able to run effectively and pass. >> cowboy's coach wade phillips fired today by jerry jones and replaced by jason garrett. they have the new palace. jones thought his team would be in it. that's not happening and wade phillips is out. 1-7 so far. northwestern had some balance issues of its own saturday at penn state. cast out to a huge league. one of the year's great catches 21-0. but after that it was all penn state. five touchdowns in five possessions. they went from driver seat so dumpster in less than a quarter. how does that happen? >> we talked as a team today. what was different offensively coach hank what they did against

us in the second half. the response was nothing. coach mccall, what was different? i thought for the first half we always tell two halves. this is as good as we've been and as bad as we've been. >> here he comes. the legend york cross-country coach. york edged out lake zurich by two points. they haven't won a title since 2006 but the long green line is back on top and joe is only 81 years old. so you never know when it's going to be the last one. >> i ran against him way back
