Sixty three degrees in Boston at four o'clock. Good afternoon.
I'm Suzanne Salsville. Here's what's happening, and autumn nor'easter is
on its way to Massachusetts this long holiday weekend. The
storm is expected to arrive tomorrow and get worse on Monday.
CBS News Boston's Brandon Truett reports from Situate, where residents
(00:33):
are getting ready.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
The town of Situated advising people to secure outdoor items
and charge mobile devices. They suggest checking generators now ahead
of the storm and clearing any storm dreams that might
have leaves covering them. Folks who live here know what
to do. If it lasts for more than twenty four hours,
like it looks like it's going to that, it could
be pretty bad. And you better believe people are eagle
(00:57):
eyed on that forecast. They say, this harbor will be
very busy over the weekend.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
We'll keep you updated with traffic and weather together every
ten minutes on the threes. The new acting chief of
Haveral Police has been placed on administrative leave, just a
day after the mayor appointed him. This comes after a
vote of no confidence from the Haverol Policeman's Association Police
(01:22):
Patrolman's Association in both former Chief Robert Pistoni and deputy
Chief Stephen Dharty. The Mayor's appointed Darty as acting chief
after Pistoni resigned from his role Thursday. Captain Wayne Tracy
will now serve as acting chief. The turmoil in police
leadership comes in the wake of the death of Havero
(01:45):
officer Caitlin Tully, whose death is still under investigation, as
well as the fallout from the death of Francis Gigliati,
a man who died after a struggle with police last summer.
Mayor Melinda Bryant did not say why she placed already
on leave, only saying the move was made after she
(02:06):
held discussions with the police union and got some new information.
Mass firings of federal workers have begun as the government
shut down hits day eleven. The White House Budget Office
says more than four thousand employees across several agencies would
be fired, and attempt by the Trump administration to pressure

Congressional Democrats into ending the shutdown. CBS's Toryan Small has
the latest.

The center will take up dueling stopgap legislation for a
ninth time Tuesday to fourteenth, one day before federal employees
and military members missed their paychecks. While Speaker Mike Johnson
will keep the House closed.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
This is not a strategy call to keep the House
working in their districts right now. There's an urgent necessity
of it.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
The Trump administration also made good on its threat of
mass layoffs if Congris doesn't reopen the government.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
President Trump says the layoffs would hit areas of the
government that are quote Democrat oriented. Mostly cloudy over night,

take effect from Tomorrow morning through late Monday night, a
high wind watch for the Islands tomorrow afternoon through Monday evening,
and a wind advisory for the Cape tomorrow evening into

some heavy Tomorrow night into Monday. There's a risk of
(03:43):
significant coastal flooding and beach erosion, along with some wind
damage and ponding on roadways. Will have a high of
fifty seven on Tuesday, mostly cloudy and breezy, lingering rain
and drizzle. Highs near sixty. Right now in Boston, it's
