Nice Few Days Ahead

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:47:04 GMT

Editor’s Note: This blog was written by 7News meteorological intern Tyler Hughes.Another hot, humid day is in the books for us – but a cold front dropping a some showers and thunderstorms through New England this evening means relief is in sight for tomorrow… from the humidity, at least. Tomorrow features a stationary boundary across southern New England that will keep a less humid, more comfortable airmass in place. The resulting downside is the risk of an isolated shower popping up along that boundary in the afternoon hours, but any shower would be relatively light and short-lived.Tomorrow will also be slightly cooler than it was today, with highs peaking in the middle 80s in metro Boston and the upper 70s and low 80s along the coast, Cape and Islands. The morning will see some smoky haze persisting, but it will begin to clear out around lunchtime, perfect for some afternoon sun.If you’re looking to soak in some of that afternoon sun on the beaches, youR...

It was mission complete Tuesday for a task force of responders from Massachusetts who were sent to Vermont to help with rescue and recovery efforts after devastating flooding last week.The group returned to Beverly where one member spoke to 7NEWS about her experience on the ground. “We got to use our training to do exactly what we wanted to do,” said Massachusetts Task Force 1 Safety Officer Leah Shatkin.The 45 members of the task force set out on July 10. Over the ensuing days, task force members braved treacherous conditions to rescue about 30 people from floodwaters that surrounded homes and buildings. “To be in a community on a city street with your local CVS and your Mazda dealership and have a river essentially running downstream cutting off access to people in need is kind of an eye opening thing,” Shatkin said.In addition to personnel, the task force sent boats and other equipment to Vermont to help with rescue efforts amid record breaking rainfa...

You have hatred,” Fournier said. “Derrick Rose [who was also pulled from the rotation] and I looked at each other and said to each other, ‘What the hell are we doing here?’“During the 5x5s at practice, we were on the side like some prospec...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:47:04 GMT

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) — Former President Donald Trump joked about his legal challenges while campaigning in eastern Iowa on Tuesday night, just hours after announcing he’d received a target letter in the Justice Department’s investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 election.Headlining a Republican county meeting, Trump attacked investigators while trying to make light of what could be his third criminal indictment since March.“I didn’t know practically what a subpoena was and grand juries. Now I’m becoming an expert,” he told the audience at an Elks Lodge in Cedar Rapids. He also taped a town hall with Fox News host Sean Hannity that was set to air later Tuesday night.The trip to the leadoff GOP voting state was yet another indication that, when it comes to Trump, none of the rules of politics ever apply. Trump did not cancel the trip to huddle with advisers, and he was not disinvited by organizers. Instead, he carried on as he has for months, incorporating his latest legal...
