Speaker 1 (03:16):
Been doing pretty well around the region today and not
a lot of heavy rain and less you're over the
Cape Islands, and then you did see some heavy rains today,
showers for most of us, and even with those showers,
much of the time many of us have been dry
or at least mostly dry, with just a split or
a sprinkle. We still have some rain on the radar.
(03:38):
Right down just south of Boston, down around Quinsy, we've
had some rain. Hull getting in on some rain this
a little bit looks like it's pushing into Nahunt and
maybe back in towards the Summerville, Medford Milrose area. Also
that rain over the Cape, it's not as heavy as
it was earlier unless you're out around the elbow of
(03:58):
the Cape. That's where the heaviest rain is. Right now,
it just showers back behind that and then just showers
off into central Massachusetts and even then pretty widely scattered.
So we're in pretty much a pattern here where we'll
have some showers and some drizzle through the evening tomorrow.
Maybe get the umbrella out if you didn't already, because
(04:18):
it's going to rain, and it's probably going to rain
pretty heavily enough that it could cause the flooding on
some of the area roadways. Of course, with the drought.
We need the rain, but if it comes down too
fast in the same spot over and over again, well
you know what happens. A couple of thunderstorms around tomorrow
as well. Temperatures about seventy one, upper sixties. Tomorrow night
will still be sticky, We'll still have a couple of showers.
We may have a thunderstorm. It calms down a bit
(04:41):
on Friday, we'll get breaks of sunshine. We could also
see a stray shower the weekend though. Hey, looking pretty
decent with some sunshine. Temperatures in the mid seventies for
that first weekend of autumn. Right now, it is sixty
four degrees in Boston. As to which city prepares for
another October, WBC's car Stephen spoke with the longtime Sale resident,
(05:02):
Lieutenant Governor Kim Driscoll, about how Halloween Month has changed
over the years.
Speaker 7 (05:07):
Lieutenant Governor Kim Driscoll, the former mayor of Salem, points
out that Halloween months is no longer one month. People
start arriving in September, stay into November, and it's a
bigger business than it used to be.
Speaker 8 (05:18):
Halloween has grown as a consumer spending holiday. How many
folks used to decorate their houses, or hold their own parties,
or dress adults dressing up. That's a lot more frequent
now and Salem is benefiting from all that activity.
Speaker 7 (05:29):
All that activity provides financial fuel to local businesses to
keep them going through slower months. And she points out
that so many visitors will be exposed to not only
witches and warlocks, but a unique city with a rich history.
