Dealing with some rain, although it really depends where you
are is to how much rain you are seeing. The
heaviest stuff has been south Boston, off toward the south coast,
over the Cape and the islands, and that's pretty much
still where we're at. We have some rain sneaking into
the Boston area right now, but this is not the
(03:37):
real heavy stuff. This is just kind of annoying put
up an umbrella stuff. There is a pretty heavy line
that stretches from Falmouth out into parts of the ocean,
but it is pushing off toward the main Cape, so
the peninsula could get under some more heavy rain again.
Mash b Hyannis, Harwich, back and down the hatches. There
(03:57):
is a bit of a storm coming and this will
continue to push off to the north and east for
several more hours before eventually we get out of this
and clear out the skies. Late tonight, Boston north and west.
Probably most of any heavy rain is over, just some
annoyances as we go through the evening, mostly sunny. Tomorrow
we warm it up, how about eighty two, with some
(04:17):
haze around due to that wildfire smoke from Canada. On Thursday,
we'll have another warm day, mid eighties, hazy sunshine, a
gusty breeze, and then not as warm on Friday seventy four,
mix of sun and clouds, A couple of showers get
back in here Friday night, which is of course good
news on the drought front, which we've already been seeing
from state officials. Drought conditions getting better. Wbz's Brook McCarthy explains.
Speaker 5 (04:41):

for the Cape and Islands, is now at normal levels. However,
the Islands region remains at a level one mild drought,
well the Cape is at a level two significant drought.
State officials say recent rain has provided some relief, but
more precipitation is still needed to restore ground water levels
some parts of the state. Energy and Environmental Affair Secretary
(05:03):
Rebecca Tepper says the warm weather is here, and with
planting season in full swing, people should still be mindful
of how much water they're using. To help with these
groundwater levels. Residents on the Capan Islands are still encouraged
to minimize overall water use, limit outdoor watering to one
time per week, and fix indoor leaks. Burke McCarthy WBZ
