Speaker 1 (00:01):
This is WBZY, Boston's news radio, redefining local news.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Sixty eight degrees, a very heavy, steady rain out there
in Boston at eleven o'clock. Good morning, I'm Nicole Davis.
Here's what's happening. Water is starting to recede on our
flooded out roads and highways after being shut down for hours.
We are finally starting to see some lanes reopen on
the Expressway. It has been a very difficult commute this morning.
(00:30):
WBC's Jim McKay is heading south through Milton. He's just
try to wait his turn to get by.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Jim.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
What's going on out there? What do you see?
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Plan to hey there, Nicole. Yeah, In fact, I just
made my way through Milton and Furnessburg Parkway where they
had some earlier closures on the southbound side. Those lanes
are now starting to reopen, so you will run into
about a mile back up to the Adams Street overpass
southbound on the Expressway in Milton into Quincy, but then
things open up up and actually getting to the Braintree
(01:02):
Split southbound, it's a pretty smooth ride now outside of
the rain shower. As I will, however, though say on
the northbound side.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
Nicole.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
State Police still has everything shut off at the Braintree Split.
They have cars loaded onto the back of towbits over
by Furnessburg Parkway because several cars got stuck at some
of those high waters earlier this morning. So you have
all that wall of traffic there shut off by the
Brainchree Split and being diverted through Braintree and Quinsy. But
(01:31):
it's still a mess if you're trying to head northbound southbound. However,
it's not too bad. I also did notice coming out
of the O'Neil Tunnel coming through Boston, the Columbia Road
exit was a big time mess. Of course, Morrissey Boulevard,
as we know, floods out brutally during weather like this,
so that was actually all the way backed up to
the Greater Food Bank Boston Food Bank building. But outside
(01:53):
of that, Nicole southbound, things are starting to move a bit,
and I'm here through Weymouth and it's just a good
old fashioned range. We're barding live on Ruth three. Jim McKay,
WBC Boston's.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
News radio roving reporter, Thank you so much. Jim McKay. Yeah,
we had that flash flood warning. It's still up for
about thirteen more minutes or so for Boston and points south.
We're talking about places like Weymouth, Quincy, Dedham, Situate, Holbrook, Avon.
The heaviest of this rainfall has passed. That is the plus,
and we'll get a look at traffic and weather together
in just about forty five seconds right here on WBZ.
(02:26):
Another story we're watching though. At eleven oh two in
New Hampshire, federal judge is about to hold a hearing
on a class action lawsuit challenging President Trump's executive order
trying to end birthright citizenship.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
This is not the first case filed after the Supreme
Court's decision last week lifting the nationwide injunction on ending
birthright citizenship. Lawyers in Maryland on Monday filed a similar
lawsuit seeking a new preliminary injunction halting any action denying
citizenship to newborn babies and certifying a class that would
(03:01):
include mothers who are in the United States illegally, not.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
As CBS News legal analyst Thine Rosenbaum, the New Hampshire
plaintiffs include two parents, their infants, and a pregnant woman.
It has certainly been a very tough morning with all
this rain, it is mostly making its way out to
see at this point the heaviest of these downpours. We
are still seeing some rain left behind though, and it
will take a few hours for all this to finally
(03:24):
move out. Later on this afternoon, we could have a
couple of lingering showers. We've got a high year seventy
and for tonight mostly cloudy, a couple passing showers mostly
early alone near sixty. Still human out there. Tomorrow could
have some afternoon storms west of Boston with a high
in the mid seventies. On the coast low eighties. Well inland.
All right, we are taking a look at our temperatures
(03:45):
now sixty five in Westford sixty nine where it's still
raining pretty hard, and hang them north of Boston sixty
five in Salem, and in Boston at eleven oh five
it is right now raining and sixty six degrees. Well,
we have been watching the situation out there when it
comes to the heavy rain, taking a look at the
rain gauge reports, places like brain Tree seeing five inches
(04:06):
of rain six inches plus, and places like North Hangham
and Weymouth. These torrential downpours turning roads into rivers and
highways into parking lots. Take Granite Street and brain Tree,
for example, where a man named Paul had to be
piggyback to drive Land by police as his car got
washed out.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
I came off from rose Cliff down the street there,
but there was a cop car in front of the cemetery,
and I thought there was a procession going on. They
usually blocked to traffic, you know, So I came around
him and I came down here and I got floated away.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
And wbz's Jared Brosman has more.
Speaker 6 (04:41):
I'm still over here in Braintree on Granite Street, and
if you can hear that scraping sound behind me, that
is the sound of one of the cars that they
did pull out of the water. The guy driving and
his name is Paul. He said he did need authorities
to rescue them earlier. And it looks like he's got
a piece of metal something underneath this car that's just
scraping underneath the bottom. There's a lot of smoke coming
out at the back the car. Not sure I'm standing
(05:01):
in the best position right now, but it is still
at least getting a little bit better over here. For
the first time, I can actually see the yellow lines
on Granite Street in the section where it was flooding.
It looks like the flooding on the Volkswagging parking lot
is a little bit better than it was before, but
still not able to get through here on Granite Street.
You're going to get detoored on the Braintree side right
by the Ford Dealership, and you're going to get detoored
(05:23):
right into Pine Hills Cemetery if you're coming up from
the Quincy side from Braintream. J Brosnan WVZ, Boston's news radio.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
And other news We're watching this morning another chapter in
the court case with widespread implications as playing out right
here in Boston.
Speaker 7 (05:35):
A federal judge here in Boston about to hear arguments
regarding the White House's attempts to require transgender, non binary
and intersects people to use passports marks with their sex
assigned at birth. Loyola Law professor Laurie Levinson tells us
this case revolves around an executive order President Trump signed
on his first day in office.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
That said that people could no longer on their passport
put in a designation of X.
Speaker 7 (06:00):
This is now a class action lawsuit involving many parties
before the court.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
The ASLU and other groups have come in and argued
that there's no good basis for the administration to make
this change and they did not follow the proper policies
to do so.
Speaker 7 (06:14):
The judges already told the Trump administration they must comply
with prior policies when issuing passports, so the experts say,
expect a White House appeal to be on the way
as well. Drew maholland WBZ, Boston's News Radio.
