Rain Tapers… For Now

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 22:25:07 GMT

Some big rain totals dropped across the area over the weekend with a soaking rain Saturday night and some drenching downpours late yesterday and last night. All said and done, many towns and cities logged in 2-3″ of rain with some locally higher totals around MA/RI border. We start today off with a few light showers, patchy fog and patchy drizzle in the morning, before clouds break for some sun. Temps today will be milder, in the low to mid 60s as southerly winds prevail. Although a spot shower is possible inland this afternoon, most of the day is rain-free for the little league games. Hopefully the fields are too waterlogged. Tomorrow, we’ll fall right back into the pattern of chillier air and scattered showers. A pattern that’ll last several days, with the coolest air Thursday and Friday. No day is an all day washout, as scattered showers drop 0.25-0.50″ totals through the rest of the week. A milder pattern starts to take shape this weekend as we dry out. 7...

Orioles reset: Baseball’s latest pitching craze is sweeping through Baltimore

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 22:25:07 GMT

Ryan Mountcastle doesn’t remember the first time he heard the term “sweeper,” but he hasn’t forgotten the first one he faced.“It was just, like, the craziest thing I’d ever seen,” the Orioles first baseman said.Normally, for Mountcastle to decide a breaking ball was going to make its way to a hittable area, he would see whether it started between him and the strike zone. But when then-Tampa Bay Rays right-hander Chaz Roe deployed his sweeper against Mountcastle during spring training in 2020, he had to look far more inside.“I’d have to have it start at my butt,” he said. “It was bizarre.”The name “sweeper” has gained prevalence of late, but in truth, the pitch that carries the name has existed for years. Baseball Savant, Major League Baseball’s hub for Statcast data, reidentified thousands of sliders over the past decade as sweepers, a slower variant of that classic breaking ball with far more ...

Granite State voters too independent for Trump, Shaheen says

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 22:25:07 GMT

New Hampshire’s former governor and senior U.S. Senator says that Granite State voters are tired of the 45th President’s legal woes and perpetual falsehoods about the 2020 election, which he repeated last week during a campaign rally in Manchester.“I think, fundamentally, people disagree with him on the issues that he supported as president and continues to support,” U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen said.The Granite State’s 78th governor was speaking with WCVB hosts Sharman Sacchetti and Ed Harding for the pair’s Sunday politics show On the Record, when she said former President Donald Trump’s recent remarks in the Queen City reflect his own beliefs and ideology much more than they do those of the historically independent minded voters of the first-in-the-nation primary state.“New Hampshire believes that women should have our own control of our bodies and that reproductive rights should be the decisions of women. Donald Trump doesn’t believe that,” she said. “People in New Hampshire believe...

Lucas: Climate vandals miss the mark with Beacon Hill SUV attack

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 22:25:07 GMT

If Eddie Markey were a true Green New Deal warrior, he would have deflated a few Beacon Hill SUV tires himself.He might have even led the mob of climate change vandals—called Tyre Extinguishers—who deflated the tires of 43 SUVs a week ago that were parked tightly overnight on streets adjacent to the State House.But perhaps the 76-year-old junior U.S. Senator was too busying holding an Earth Day press conference with Rep.  Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on the reintroduction of the Green New Deal Resolution.“The Green New Deal isn’t just a resolution,” Markey said, “it is a revolution.”Perhaps the vandals heard him. These left-wing loonies called the SUVs “massive killer vehicles,’’ which even in their wildest dreams showed that they never came across a U.S. M1 Abrams tank.So, in the middle of the night, the group stealthily went after SUVs parked on Mt. Vernon Street, Pickney Street, Brimmer Street, Cedar Stret, Otis Place and David G. Mugar Way.They posted flyers on the vehicles which sa...

UN envoy says Sudan’s warring sides agree to negotiate

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 22:25:07 GMT

CAIRO (AP) — Sudan’s warring generals have agreed to send representatives for negotiations, potentially in Saudi Arabia, the United Nations’ top official in the country told The Associated Press on Monday, even as the two sides clashed in the capital despite another three-day extension of a fragile cease-fire. The talks would initially focus on establishing a “stable and reliable” cease-fire monitored by “national and international” observers, Volker Perthes said. A string of temporary truces over the past week has de-escalated fighting only in some areas, while in others, fierce battles have continued to drive civilians from their homes and push the country into a humanitarian crisis.Perthes cautioned that logistics for talks were still being worked out. So far, only the military has announced it is prepared to join negotiations, with no public word from its opponent, the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces. Any talks would be the first major sign of progress since fighti...
