Warmer, then wetter

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:17:38 GMT

We’ve “turned the page” in the recent weather story that’s been highlighted by a cold spell. For nearly a week, south Florida has been feeling chilly due to a cold connection with air from the north. Beginning Thursday, the weather map shows a front approaching Florida from the west (out of the Gulf). This is technically a cold front but without the cold air support. The boundary will basically send us a push of clouds but rain will be limited, at best. We’re only forecasting a slim chance for patchy light showers late Thursday (mainly near the Keys). Then, perhaps the best weather-day in sight will come on Friday. Temperatures will be comfortable with dry conditions and low humidity. It would be nice have Friday’s weather stick around for the upcoming weekend, but that’s not going to happen. There’s a high chance for added warmth (highs above 80-degrees) with developing downpours on Saturday. The latest model guidance shows ...

Haley calls out Trump ‘temper tantrums’ during two day New Hampshire tour

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:17:38 GMT

LONDONDERRY, N.H. — You can feel the difference between a Nikki Haley town hall held in July and one in January.A presidential rally with the former U.N. Ambassador in July, according to independent Granite State voter Marie Mulroy, felt like an underdog show. A half-attended longshot bid at a Washington D.C. side job or perhaps a tryout for the vice presidency.A packed, standing-room-only event at Game Changer Sports Bar and Grill held Wednesday was something else entirely, she said.“Things are different. This is different. She’s going for gold. She’s so close to victory she can smell it,” Mulroy told the Herald.The crowd is one example, she pointed out. When she first took a seat in the back of the restaurant’s large dining area, Mulroy was one of a few dozen people waiting to hear the former South Carolina governor speak. She had enough room to dance in place to the house music.By the time Haley took the stage, the Manchester resident was fighting for elbow room among hundr...

Can the Chicago Bulls afford to keep playing small ball? ‘We’ve got no choice,’ coach Billy Donovan says.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:17:38 GMT

NEW YORK — In the first quarter of Tuesday’s blowout loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, Chicago Bulls coach Billy Donovan had a problem.He knew that 76ers star center Joel Embiid would play every minute of the opening quarter after missing the previous four games with an ankle sprain. Donovan also knew he couldn’t afford to keep Andre Drummond on the court without risking foul trouble. And Patrick Williams — the logical replacement for Drummond on Embiid — had exited early after suffering stiffness from a lingering ankle injury.So Donovan’s only choice was to pull Drummond for the final two minutes of the quarter and bring in Terry Taylor — a 6-foot-4, third-string power forward — to guard the 7-foot, 280-pound Embiid, the reigning league MVP.This is the current reality for the Bulls, who are trying to stay afloat during the extended absence of starting center Nikola Vučević and now the limited availability of Williams.Tuesday&#...

Nor’easter expected to dump snow across Massachusetts before a ‘stronger storm’ next week

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:17:38 GMT

Wondering what that clicking sound is? It’s everyone across the region hitting the refresh button on the latest storm forecasts ahead of the weekend.The first winter storm of the season is expected to dump snow across Massachusetts from Saturday night into Sunday, according to meteorologists who continue to caution that a shift in the system’s track can change a lot.The quick-moving nor’easter will likely drop 4 to 8 inches of snow on the Boston-area, AccuWeather Meteorologist Carl Erickson told the Herald on Wednesday.“Snow should move into the Boston-area sometime Saturday night, and the heaviest should be late at night through the first half of Sunday,” Erickson said.“Some light snow could linger Sunday afternoon before the system pulls away Sunday evening,” he added.The highest amounts of snow accumulations are expected to be west of Interstate 495.Southeastern Massachusetts and the Cape and Islands should see lower snow accumulations an...

Battenfeld: Maura Healey joins lame Biden campaign in New Hampshire even though he’s skipping primary

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:17:38 GMT

It’s not like there’s any problems in Massachusetts. Everything is great, right?So why is Gov. Maura Healey wasting our taxpayer time promoting Joe Biden’s lame primary write-in campaign in New Hampshire?The president is deliberately not on the ballot – making a conscious effort to not participate in this month’s New Hampshire primary, which Democrats relegated to later in the primary season to make way for South Carolina.Biden engineered the whole thing for political reasons. It was a blowoff to an entire state as payback for him getting drubbed in New Hampshire four years ago, when he slunk out of the state like a wounded animal.So now he’s not even in the race, despite efforts by Healey and the Biden campaign to make it seem like he is in it.Even if Biden wins, which he no doubt will because the other Democrat is an obscure congressman, it’s just a blip in the primary season. It won’t matter. Yet Healey – a so-called “super surrogate” for Biden whatever that is – is now joining t...
