even as close by as right near Boston. We did
have clouds hanging in near the coast, and we'll get
some clouds to hang in, probably over the Cape Island

as we head into the evening. Otherwise you'll start to
see the clearing skies if you haven't already, and later

Chief Meteorologist Jonathan Porter says, because of that, we're not
going to see the full onslaught of pollend for a
little longer, but when we do, it will hit hard.

We could be dealing with a period of time, especially
later in May and June, that people who are specially
susceptible to tree pollend dealing with some challenging situations as
all the trees bloom out sort of at once during
that time period.
Speaker 1 (04:58):

of tree pollen this year. As we get into the summer, though,

sixteen thousand apartments and so.

assessment to determine their risk of collapse should they be
involved in a vessel collision like the one that hit
Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge, a memorial bridge in Portsmouth,
(06:43):
New Hampshire, and Rhode Island's Clayborne pell Newport Bridge are
also on the list. The NTSB notes that the recommendation
doesn't suggest the bridges are certain to collapse, but rather
bridge owners should evaluate whether the bridges are above the
official acceptable level of risk. You are now in the loop.
