here in Boston. It's fifty three degrees. We'll eventually see
the sunshine again, just doesn't look like it's going to
(00:23):
be today. The News at six is brought to us

The last thing we need, the first thing in the morning,
is a major traffic problem in the Southeast Expressway. But
that's the hand we've been dealt to. WBC's Laurie Grandias
here with details. Good morning, Laurie, Good morning to you.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
You know what helped us out yesterday was the fact
that it was a holiday, so we had lighter volume.
But today we're dealing with this wacky weather and now
this situation on the Expressway south on. Another tractor trailer
crash on the Expressway south on just after mass Aff.
The two left hand lanes are blocked off. Their traffic
is jamm coming out of the O'Neal tunnel and there's
a fuel spill involved as well. We'll have more coming

All right, Laurie, thank you. The Nor Eastern continues to
do damage at Logan Airport.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
It's day three of travel troubles here at Logan Airport.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Really bad, very crowded.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Doug is from Marshfield and just got back from Montana
and he's sick of sitting.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Here in the airport. Big delay for the storm here.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
But just when he thought he was home free and
then I canceled my uber for this morning, so I'm
waiting for the Logan Express.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
Marina is on standby to get on a flight to Argentina,
but hopes they're fleeting.

hundred customers remain without power on this Tuesday morning. Well

(02:13):
Bears beat Washington, the Dodgers beat the Brewers to take
a one game to none lead to the National League
Championship Series, while the Mariners dominate the Blue Jays to
go up two games to none in the American League.
When is the cost of eating out too much for
your pocket?
Speaker 5 (02:28):
According to a new survey, menu prices at nearly half
of all restaurants in the US are currently or are
about to raise prices as owners and operators pass the
cost of rising inflation onto you, the customer and hold
on ti irwalla because the new price tags ain't cheap.
Many say they'll need to raise prices by some thirty
percent just to make a buck. Management software company Toast
(02:49):
says many other restaurants say they plan to raise their
prices if inflation, labor costs, and tariffs continue to take
a bite out of the cash register. Jay will ledd WBZ,
Boston's news.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Radio, and it's another day and another record smashed by
Taylor Swift. WBC's Drew moholland is here with the numbers.
Good morning, Andrew, Good morning Jeffrey.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Stop me if you think I'm wrong, but I think
this Taylor Swift has real potential.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
The numbers are.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
In for the first week of sales of her new album,
The Life of the Showgirl, and they are impressive.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
More than four million physical or digital.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Copies of her latest work obliterates the prior record, which
was held by Adels twenty five that Mark Jeffrey stood
for a decade.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Impressive, very impressive. Crazy all right, Drew, thank you. It's
much better conditions comparatively speaking to yesterday at this time,
although it's still raining here in much of eastern Massachusetts.
Looks like we're starting to dry out in the central
and western portions of the state this morning. But this
is going to be a damp day overall today with
periods of drizzle into the afternoon as well as this
(03:48):
nor'easter finally begins to wind down. It's fifty three right
now in the city and temperatures only in the fifties today,
clearing out overnight Tonight Tomorrow looks like the return of
sunshine and a little bit milder air, high in the
low sixties. It looks like the rest of this work
week is going to be in relatively decent shape, with
highs in the sixties and a mix of sun and
clouds pretty much every day that extends into the weekend,
(04:09):
and we cannot rule out the possibility of seventy degree
temperatures once again. This weekend long range forecast looks like
we could be hit with another storm coming up at
the start of next week. Right now in Boston, we're
wrapping up this storm here in the city with still
some rain and drizzle and fifty three in the city
on this Tuesday morning, it is six oh five. SpaceX
does it again.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
SpaceX launched its super heavy Starship rocket for the eleventh time,
marking another successful test flight that built upon previous launches.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Three two one.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
At four hundred and three feet, it is the biggest
and most powerful rocket ever built. The booster peeled away
and made a controlled entry into the Gulf as planned,
with the spacecraft skimming space before descending into the Indian Ocean.
Matt Piper, CBS news.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Man overboard the frightening call from passengers on a Steamship
Authority ferry on its way to Woods Hole. The US
Coastguard says it got the distress call after witnesses say
someone was seen bobbing in the water in the middle
of a nor'easter. Rescue workers using a Coastguard helicopter. We're
able to pull the victim on board, and he's since
been taken to Foulmouth Hospital for treatment of exposure and
(05:19):
a mental health evaluation. It is not clear how the
man ended up in the water. Let them eat cake
or in this case, pie for two.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Geez rolling out the Reaper Pizza challenge right now at
all locations in Massachusetts. The slice feature sauce made with
Carolina Reaper chilis, and if that wasn't enough to make
your stomach hurt, its top with a sensible blend of
Calabrian Fresno, Habanero, hot cherry, j'alapino serrano, and Thai chili peppers.
Here's the deal. If you managed to down two slices
in fifteen minutes with only water to drink, you get
(05:49):
three free monthly pizzas, show up with three masochistic friends
and eat the whole pizza in fifteen minutes. You get
free weekly pizzas for a whole year, plus an exclusive shirt,
plus up to a full day of probable agony. You
do have to sign a waiver, and it's no kids allowed.
Bertuccies is running the challenge through the end of next month.
Madison Rogers, WBZ Boston's News Radio.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Lawmakers on Beacon Hill get to work on your vehicle today.
A committee will kick the tires on about three dozen
bills related to your car, Trucker SUV with a measure
that strengthens the state's lemon laws with timely inspections, adds
miles to your warranty as well, and another bill that
provides support for car owners who have a legal beef
with auto dealerships. Other bills up for debate at the
(06:33):
state House today deal with domestic assault, workplace training, and
local alcohol petitions in several cities and towns. You are
now in the loop for news updates throughout the day.
