Essential daily information at a glance.

1. Forecast: Sunny. Highs in the upper 40s.

2. Last night state transportation officials narrowed the choices for life after the Casey Overpass through Forest Hills is torn down. It's down to two — a bridge or an "at-grade" solution. Officials said it's a wash between the two as far as traffic. I'll post more about it later this morning.

3. Sad news — the seventh grader at Boston Latin Academy who came down with what was probably meningitis has died. Authorities haven't released her name, but friends are paying tribute to the 12-year-old on Twitter with the hashtag #RIPNina.
