Speaker 1 (00:01):
This is WBZ Boston's news radio, redefining local news. See
It's Tuesday already. Good morning, six o'clock on this Tuesday
morning in Boston, and we are waking up with some
cold air and some snowflakes flying in portions of eastern Massachusetts.
(00:22):
It is thirty one degrees here in Boston. The News
at six is brought to us by your New England
Toyota Dealer, your hybrid all wheel drive headquarters. Thanks for
being with us today. I'm Jeff Brown. You never forget
your first The winter storm will bring us mostly range
from the city to the south coast, the Cape and
the islands, especially for the afternoon and evening hours. That
is WBZ ACKI weather Meteorologist Joe Lundberg. Flowable snow north
(00:44):
and west of four ninety five the Jackpod in portions
of western Massachusetts, southern New Hampshire, and Vermont as well.
Your most reliable news source for severe weather coverage Easter.
The WBZ Storm Center. Classes have been canceled in many
cities and towns in central and eastern mass as well
as southern New Hampshire. This morning. Just a handful of
delays and cancelations at Logan Airport and power outages are
(01:07):
not a problem, according to Mema as we get sent
for the onslaught. WBC's James Rojas is in Chelsea this morning,
long before the first flake falls. Giant frontloaders here at
Eastern Salt build truck after truck with the precious mineral.
The salts, which is sourced from Chili, is being transported
all across the region to cities and towns getting ready
for the first winter test. These frontloaders and semi trucks
(01:30):
will be doing this dance throughout the day, helping keep
our streets and sidewalks safe in Chelsea. James Rojas WBZ,
Boston's News Radio, it's perfect ten for the Patriots to
extend a league best winning streak over the Giants on
Monday Night football. The Patriots in primetime are now back
with the best record in the NFL. Bruins and Celtics
(01:52):
are both back in action. Tonight. The Bees head to
Detroit as the Celtics will host the Knicks at the Garden.
Change is not always good, but it's inevitable in professional sports,
and so it is that the Celtics have lost their
grip on most highly paid athletes in town with an
off season which unloaded several stars in an effort to
better manage the salary cap. The Boston Business Journal reports
(02:14):
this morning Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown still top the
list of highest paid pro athletes in Boston, but the
Patriots take the cake with most of them. Trevor's story
leads the Red Sox payroll at more than twenty two million,
and David Pasternak gets the Bruins nod at more than
eleven million. Today is Giving Tuesday, which brings an official
end to the holiday shopping kickoff with a chance for
(02:37):
millions of Americans to give back or pay it forward.
Since twenty twelve, it's always been celebrated the Tuesday after Thanksgiving,
and the movement is taken off like a rocket, with
donations designed to transform local communities closing in on three
billion dollars, and like the butterfly that flaps its wings,
the movement is turned into a worldwide phenomenon led by
(02:57):
some of the largest companies and organizations anywhere on the planet.
Groups in Massachusetts stress that taking part in Giving Tuesday
means also a donation of your time, not just your money,
and money does grow on trees. Apparently, Yukon Cornelia says
it best none to be found, though no winters in
(03:20):
power Ball again tomorrow. Night's Jackpod rises to seven hundred
and seventy five million dollars. It is so far pretty
quiet here in Greater Boston this morning as we await
the first winter storm of the fall season. As winter
comes a little bit early this time around, we're watching
and with a winter weather advisory in effect near in
(03:41):
northwest of four ninety five beginning at seven o'clock this morning.
The snowflakes and the mixed precipitation will start falling later
this morning, but a shift in the polar vortex, as
many meteorologists thought might be possible, is going to push
most of the snow outside four ninety five. The Jackpod
regions today are going to be in western Massachusetts and
(04:01):
southern New Hampshire and Vermont, with up to a foot
of snow in those locations, several plowable inches of snow
north and west of four ninety five and inside that
beltway closer to one twenty eight in the city. This
is going to be mixed precipitation or in some cases
in Boston and points south. This will be all rain,
so either way it is going to be a chilly
start to the day. In fact, it's thirty one right
(04:23):
now in Boston and we're in the twenties elsewhere. We're
already seeing the snow flying in portions of central and
western Mass this morning, with of course more to come.
It's a relatively quick hitting storm. It'll be out of
our way overnight tonight as it'll come to a conclusion,
and then tomorrow we return to some sunshine. High temperatures
approach forty degrees, clouds mixing with sun and becoming increasingly
(04:43):
windy on Thursday, with a high end the forties and
barely freezing on Friday to around out the work week.
Right now in Boston, on a very complicated weather day,
it is thirty one degrees and clouds here in Boston
six oh six this Tuesday morning. Court is back in
session in Get Him Later today as the defense in
the Brian Walsh murder trial launches a new strategy. Testimony
(05:05):
resumes in the Brian Walsh murder trial in Norfolk Superior
Court this morning. During opening statements, defense lawyers give an
explanation behind what prosecutors say was the brutal killing of
his wife, Anna in the couple's cohas at home almost
three years ago, and claim his wife died by natural causes,
but admit he did dispose of her body. Defense lawyers
(05:26):
tell the jury that Walsh thought no one would ever
believe his thirty nine year old, healthy wife died so suddenly,
and immediately thought of his kids, hence the cover up.
What will happen if they think he did something bad
to end? Where will those three boys go?
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Walsh has already pleaded guilty to two lesser charges. Anna's
body has never been found. Jay will leed BBZ Boston's
news radio. Coffee is expensive, and Starbucks is finding that
out the hard way. The coffee giant settles up with
New York City officials in a thirty nine million dollar
deal that will pay most of the money to baristas
who claim the company's scheduling practices are illegal. Workers claim
(06:05):
the company often changed weekly work schedules and cut hours
under its flexible system. Starbucks will also pay millions of
dollars more to comply with the city's Fair Work Week
Act and provide a pathway to workers fired by the
company to ultimately rejoin the workforce some fifteen thousand barristas
in New York City around the Starbucks payroll and records
(06:27):
set once again at airport security. It's been busy times.
Wbz's Drew Maholland takes a look at the post Thanksgiving rush.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Good morning, Andrew, Morning, Jeffy.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Yeah, we told you the airports were busy over Thanksgiving break.
Would we lie to you?
Speaker 2 (06:38):
No? Boy?
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Were they ever? How about Sunday? Okay people coming home
from the holiday weekend. The TSA says it's screened more
than three point one million passengers in all time new
single day benchmark. It wasn't easy for travelers weather in
the nation's mid section, for one, but officials say each
of the ten busiest days at airports have occurred over
the last two years. This year's Thanksgiving Sunday record beat
(07:01):
the previous eye set on June twenty second this year.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
