on a Tuesday morning. Holiday shortened work week now well underway.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
Six 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. The turkey is not the
only thing frozen these days. Twenty of clouds today, but
try with the hind little fifties.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
We'll see periods of rain tonight.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
That is WBZ acky weather meteorologist Joe Lundberg, and it
is a chilly start to the day. Showers will linger
into tomorrow, but daytime highs will approach sixty the day
before the holiday. Creatures are now stirring at Logan airports.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Already lines to check in bags and to get through
TSA checkpoints are getting longer and longer. Around six million
people will be traveling through our nation's airports during this
holiday period, including here a Logan. That is up two
percent compared to last year. According to Triple A here
at Terminal A. Folks are showing up early with their
game bases on, knowing that today is going to be
a busy day with jam packed flights at Logan James
(01:12):
Rojas wb Z Boston Snooze Radio, and.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
As it gets busier, the delays are starting to mount
on the board at Logan Airport. This morning. According to
flight Aware, the delays number eighteen at this hour. That's
up by six in the past fifteen minutes or so.
Former First Lady is now ensconsdin Nantucket. It is the
annual Thanksgiving for former President Joe Biden, and the tradition continues.
First Lady will be there. Family guests as well also invited.
(01:38):
It's been traditioned for the family Biden for the past
half century plus and once again this year, the Bidens
are staying at the waterfront home of private equity giant
David Rubinstein. The eighty three year old former Commander of
Chief arrives this year as a cancer patient. He has
been undergoing treatment for an aggressive form of prostate cancer.
Well just before the holiday and with about five weeks
(01:59):
to Goresident t Ump says he is considering an extension
of the affordable Care Act for two years. Current coverage
is about for the extension for about two years. Current
coverage is about to expire at the stroke of midnight
on New Year's Eve, and costs four millions will increase dramatically.
Others will be left with no health care coverage at all,
a key sticking point for Democrats during the shutdown, the
(02:21):
President always maintained he would be willing to discuss Obamacare.
After the Democrats ended the historic walkout, the White House
says nothing is set in stone. Meantime, the President says
he's ready to talk with Venezuelan strongman President Nicolas Maduro.
Axios reports this morning the pending discussion is on the table,
even after the US designates Maduro as the head of
(02:42):
a terrorist organization. The move is also designed to avoid
increasing tensions with a US military build up in the
region and the President's authorization of CIA covered operations on
the ground. The US military has taken out two dozen
suspected drug running vessels since Labor Day. More than eight
are dead. Getting started under cloudy skies in Boston on
(03:04):
this Tuesday morning. Here in the city, it is not
all that terrible outside. It is a little bit chilly.
We have several readings right around freezing this morning, but
we're well above that here in Boston at thirty eight degrees.
We're going to see mostly cloudy skies for much of
the daylight hours today, but it's going to remain dry.
Highs will jump into the lower fifties. Now. Interesting thing
about tonight as the rain moves in. The showers could
(03:25):
be steady and sometimes could be heavy, but we are
anticipating temperatures to rise overnight. Tonight and tomorrow will settle
around sixty degrees. Not bad for a getaway for Thanksgiving Day,
but the only issue might be some lingering showers throughout
the morning and early afternoon. Otherwise it's mostly cloudy getaway
day tomorrow, and then back to some sunshine and much
(03:46):
chillier temperatures on Thanksgiving itself, with highs barely out of
the forties. Right now in Boston thirty eight gray skies
here in the city at six oh five on this
Tuesday morning. This will likely not come as a great
shock to you, but some MBT buses are running slower
than others. We all know the roads around here, lot
of traffic everything tlats, making for slower travel times in
(04:08):
Boston for folks on MBTA buses, particularly in areas of
the city where commuters rely most on bus service, according
to a new study from travel advocates Transit Matters. The
new report focuses on data from October twenty four and
finds the agency's slowest routes in Boston for twenty twenty
three only got slower their only choice, so they kind
of stuck with it with lower miles per hour ratings
(04:30):
and bus bunching when too many buses are on the
same route, which stalls out traffic. Yet, this rider says
there are trade offs. Certainly are a lot cleaner, and
it's certain to feel a lot safer than the train
and desk control over who gets on and off the bus.
Chris Fomman WBZ, Boston's news radio, and parents of school
students in Fitchburg and Leminster will be walking on eggshells
(04:53):
this Thanksgiving weekend. A school bus strike could extend the
weekend if drivers do not reach a new US union
contract agreement by Monday morning. Workers with First Student buses
and represented by the Teamsters Local one seventies say they
will begin their strike right after the holiday break. If
demands on a fair contract or not met by then.
Officials at Harvard College say there is no evidence of
(05:15):
hazing by members of the Harvard Radcliffe Student Orchestra, and
investigation into allegations of policy violations during a retreat in
western Massachusetts in September turn up no indication that hazing
behavior crossed the line. But the student orchestra is not
off the hook entirely. The accusations claim a right of
initiation included walking blindfolded through rough terrain, with talk of
(05:38):
more severe activities that never materialized. The Harvard Radcliffe Orchestra
is not out of the woods just yet. Officials say
they did uncover proof of unauthorized student parties serving drinks
to underage students. Rock and Roll Icon visits Boston. Let's
find out more from wbz's Drew ma Molholland, Good Morning Andrew.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
Ye, Good Morning Jeffrey on Cosway Streets. Stevie Nicks at
