Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 09:21:38 GMT

A warm front slide through without much in the way of clouds/precip last night, shifting the wind direction back to the southwest. With a new wind direction, we get a new air mass today. Despite the early morning chill, temps rise quickly, through the 40s and into the lower to mid 50s for many. With a good amount of sunshine, it’ll be a beautiful end to the workweek. The breeze does continue to be active, out of the west to northwest, gusting to 20-25mph this afternoon.The weekend is just a shade cooler, back in the mid to upper 40s Saturday and near 50 Sunday. Saturday features more breaks of sun vs Sunday, as a lot of clouds stream in on Sunday.Those clouds foreshadow the next storm to run up the eastern seaboard, providing the next round of heavy rain and gusty winds. While rain starts Sunday night, the brunt of the storm will be Monday, especially in the morning. 1-3″ of rain is likely with some minor river and stream flooding. Some coastal flooding is possible along the S...

Banner night for Shrewsbury girls hockey

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 09:21:38 GMT

WESTBORO – On a night its players got to see their longtime banner at NorthStar Ice Sports formally unveiled with their first Div. 1 state championship on it, the Shrewsbury girls hockey team opened the season Thursday with very much of what it used to grind out the trophy last year.Freshman Allie Martel’s first career goal was the second of two for the Colonials (1-0) in the second period, eventually standing as the game-winner of a 2-1, comeback win over Billerica/Chelmsford (0-1) in MVC/DCL Large action.Both goals came in the dirty area, overcoming a sensational effort from Lindians goalie Hailey Graybeal (38 saves) while the Shrewsbury defense allowed just 10 shots on Risa Montoya despite a number of threatening moments.It was a typical result within one of the best leagues in the state, and much of what Shrewsbury head coach Frank Panarelli expected against B/C. But with former captains at the rink to pull the covering off the banner, it wasn’t exactly a typical game.“The first...

Sustain and step up: Starting pitchers who’ll define the 2024 Red Sox

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 09:21:38 GMT

Finding ways to add starting pitching is only half the Red Sox battle this offseason.As was the case when spring training rolled around last year, they already have several starting pitching options in-house, technically more than a traditional five-man requires. But as evidenced by the last-place finish, which was heavily influenced by rotation problems, quantity is the bare minimum.The Red Sox need more quality.There were flashes of it in the rotation this year – Brayan Bello’s first half and Kutter Crawford’s second half – but little consistency. Starters must sustain success and others to take steps forward. If they can’t, reeling in a big fish via free agency or trade won’t be enough.Here’s where things stand for five key arms:Brayan BelloThis was Bello’s second year and first full season in the Majors, and calling it a mixed bag doesn’t do his campaign justice.He led the team with 28 starts and 157 innings, and was magnificent from late April until the All-Star break, po...

BRUSSELS (AP) — The European Union will by year’s end transfer to Poland the first 5 billion euros in funding that was frozen over democratic backsliding under the previous government, the new Polish prime minister and the European Commission president said Friday.The money is part of a larger tranche that was held up due to laws passed by the previous national conservative government that eroded the independence of judges — something that the EU deemed to be a violation of the democratic separation of powers.Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said the 5 billion euros ($5.5 billion) was arriving symbolically in time for Christmas.

LONDON (AP) — Prince Harry won his phone hacking lawsuit Friday against the publisher of the Daily Mirror and was awarded over 140,000 pounds ($180,000) in the first of his several lawsuits against British tabloids to go to trial.Justice Timothy Fancourt in the High Court found phone hacking was “widespread and habitual” at Mirror Group Newspapers over many years and private investigators “were an integral part of the system” to gather information unlawfully.
