Grand Finale of Storms this Thursday

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:29:00 GMT

It sure has been a wet and stormy stretch of weather this week with the daily deluge of rain during the afternoons and evenings. This soggy setup can be attributed to a stalled front draped across the Florida Peninsula that has been around the past few days but we are beginning to see some changes to this setup.This front will start to move to the south, shifting toward the Florida Straits tomorrow as an area of low pressure develops off the east coast while moving north. As that low continues to move north, the front will follow to the south, leading to lower rain chances for Friday and Saturday.Before we get there, South Florida will endure a final round (or two) of numerous rain and thunderstorms this afternoon. In the morning, scattered storms will be possible across the Florida Keys while the mainland enjoys a mix of sun and clouds. It’s not until the afternoon and evening when storms will be likely across the mainland, with storms developing earlier in the day around noo...

Nice Now, Weekend Wet

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:29:00 GMT

A bit of a chill in the air this morning as overnight lows tumbled into the mid to upper 40s in the colder towns. Even in Boston, temps dropped well into the 50s, allowing for that Fall feel to the air outside. It’ll be another beautiful day with sunshine and low humidity as temps rebound into the lower 70s. We’ll be cool again tonight, upper 40s to 50s. Tomorrow, the bounce back to near 70 is there as sunshine fades behind some mid to high level clouds streaming in. Those clouds thicken up Friday night, and we’ll likely track some wet weather Saturday. The best chance for steady/heavy rain is across Southeast Mass, but even across northern Mass and southern NH, it’s possible that we’ll catch some rain by the afternoon. Heading well north? The best chance to stay dry this region is across the mountains of central and northern New England. Not only will we track wet weather, the northeast breeze picks up Saturday, gusting 30-40mph across the Cape and Isl...

Governors, Biden administration push to quadruple efficient heating, AC units by 2030

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:29:00 GMT

A group of 25 state governors that make up the U.S. Climate Alliance and the Biden administration are expected to announce a pledge Thursday to quadruple the number of heat pumps in U.S. homes by 2030, from 4.7 million to 20 million.Heat pumps use little electricity, yet are able to heat and cool buildings. Since they often replace oil or gas furnaces that add greenhouse gases to the air, they can meaningfully address climate change. Buildings account for more than 30% of global greenhouse gas emissions.The pledge on heat pumps is a collection of state initiatives to work toward the goal of ramping down emissions to zero by 2050. Pennsylvania and seven other states, for example, will look into developing a standard for how non-polluting a heater needs to be. The governors in the alliance represent approximately 60% of the U.S. economy and 55 percent of the country’s population. Washington Governor Jay Inslee called heat pumps “almost a miraculous solution” to three problems Am...

The US is allowing hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans in the country to work legally

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:29:00 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration says it’s granting temporary legal status to hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans who are already in the country — quickly making them eligible to work — as it grapples with growing numbers of people fleeing the South American country and elsewhere to arrive at the U.S.-Mexico border.The move — along with promises to accelerate work permits for many migrants — may appease Democratic leaders who have pressured the White House to do more to aid asylum seekers, while also providing grist for Republicans who say the President Joe Biden has been too lax on immigration.The Homeland Security Department plans to grant Temporary Protected Status to an estimated 472,000 Venezuelans who arrived in the country as of July 31, making it easier for them to get authorization to work in the U.S. That’s been a key demand of Democratic mayors and governors who are struggling to care for an increased number of migrants in their care.That’s in...
