As it stands this afternoon, this is the thinking for rain chances Sunday. Still some considerable timing issues so standby for any updates. Farther north you are, the better the day will be. More on #wbz

Growing season came to an end this morning for many. Fairly average/slightly late for the first <32F

Boston, Cape Ann, Outer Cape Cod, and Nantucket are always the last holdouts

Heads up for gardeners: First widespread frost Friday morning. Some towns likely to see the end of the growing season with upper 20s in the colder spots. #wbz

The average final 80F day of the year in Boston is in late September, so we'll be on the later side this year. Will there be more after Tuesday? You never know. Last year we had the latest 80F on record in the city (November 6th). #wbz

I duno how other families experience it, but I know for us my kids watch so much less sports than I did as a kid. Too much on streaming so the games are just...never on in our house

Didn't get to freeze conditions in the area this morning

Tonight will be similar inland, colder near the coast with lighter winds

After tomorrow morning no freeze threats for at least the next 7 days

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

Leah McElrath @leahmcelrath.bsky.social · 12d

⚠️ Chinese researchers have invented bone glue that mimics how oysters stick to surfaces underwater.

The adhesive can reportedly repair orthopedic fractures in 2-3 minutes, even in blood-rich environments, and is bioabsorbable.

Great sky optics today! This photo from Jay Gardner in Mansfield.
