Speaker 1 (00:01):
This is WBZ, Boston's news radio, redefining local news.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
That's right, I'm gonna start the work week off with
a heavy sigh because it's worthy of it. Here we
are and a Tuesday morning back to reality. Sixty one degrees,
beautiful sunrise in progress here in Boston. The News at
six brought to us by You're a New England Toyota dealer,
your hybrid all wheel drive headquarters. Thanks for being here
on this Tuesday morning. I'm Jeff Brown, working my way
(00:33):
back to you.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Sunshine at some clouds and I have seventy.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Four but approaching edy Inland, has WBZ acyweather meteorologist Joe Lundberg.
As summer's reality begins to fade away. Our weather still
looks great for much of this week. Our attitudes, though
not so much.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Sushing back to work today after the long weekend, it's
got him feeling that, yeah, real bad because it's not
just the job. It's post labor day, which has some
folks feeling like it's a wrap on summer.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Lou the summers over. These people, you know, back to
school shopping, and you know, once you hear the Patriots
a fact that's not a sign of June of July.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
That's a sign of September.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Which ever, reminds you is still summertime, a good hunk
of it. At least these dudes are picking up what
I'm putting down, So the summer isn't over as far
as you're concerned.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
No, no, no, I take a glasses half.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Fall, Chris fom WBZ, Boston's news radio.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
With the beginning of a new month, we are less
than three weeks away from the first day of fall.
The calendar also marks a turning point in Atlantic hurricane season.
We are now just beyond the halfway point, which has
been eerily quiet to now. But two thirds of named
storms do occur after the midway point of hurricane season.
It also is about to reach its peak. Not much
(01:46):
going on in the tropics these days, but forecasters are
watching a disturbance way out there in the mid Atlantic
that may or may not turn into something in the
coming days. Atlantic hurricane season officially comes to a close
by the way on November thirtieth, following a weird win
at Fenway Park, the Red Sox hope to pile on
against Cleveland tonight. First pitch six forty five at Fenway
(02:06):
A strong start, but Bill Belichick's North Carolina tar Heels
gets smoked by Texas Christian and his college football head
coaching debut. The alarms at power Ball remain silent this
morning after another drawing comes up short, no jackpot winner again,
which makes tomorrow night's attempt worth at least one point
three billion dollars, making it the fifth largest top prize
(02:28):
in power Ball and a top ten largest in all
US lottery games. No one has hit the whole thing
since May. Tonight, it's Mega Million's turn, with a not
too shabby three hundred million on the line as well,
money becomes easier to get On this day, fifty six
years ago, I remember it as if it were just yesterday,
with the arrival of America's first ATM WBCs. Drew moholland
(02:51):
is here with our history lesson. Good morning, Andrew, Good morning, Jeffrey.
I can't remember the last time we started a morning
with a sigh. I felt it was appropriate.
Speaker 5 (02:59):
Thanks cash from the ATM. These magic machines started to
make people's day. A chemical bank in Rockville Center, New York,
nineteen sixty nine. The invention would go on to revolutionize
the US banking system and Payday, Jeff would never be
the same. At first handing out cash was all these
first generation ATMs could do, but it wasn't long before
they could do so much more. Today, more than a
(03:20):
million of them around the world, and even though cash
is falling out of favor, a new ATM is added
on average every five.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Minutes somewhere on the planet. That's amazing time, that's unbelievable.
Sunshine still to come. We do have partly cloudy skies
here in Boston, but it's a beautiful sunrise to start
our day back to reality on this Tuesday morning feels
like a Monday. It is sixty one right now in Boston.
It's going to be a beautiful day today with mostly
sunny skies. The clouds that dominated yesterday have broken up
(03:50):
and we're in pretty good shape today. High temperatures will
be in the mid seventies along the shoreline and right
around the low eighties in inland locations. Overnight tonight partly cloudy,
lows mainly in the fifties. Tomorrow, another nice day, sunshine
to partly cloudy skies, highs once again in the seventies.
This pattern is going to continue on Thursday, looks like
the next best chance of rain is going to move
(04:10):
in on Friday afternoon, with highs on Friday approaching eighty
degrees and still some showers hanging around as we kick
off the weekend on Saturday. Right now sixty one and
just about sunrise here in Boston, so let's call it
partly cloudy skies. As we get started on this Tuesday morning,
it's six oh five. Fair evasion on the MBTA may
(04:30):
have met its match future fairgate location.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
And that's what purple and yellow signs plaster around the
ground at South Station say. Just before you reach the railcars.
Those fairgates are being installed this week, so it can
help also prevent a lot of people on the train. Yeah,
so I think it's good. I didn't realize it was
such a huge problem.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
I wouldn't rather see them invest that money in the system.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
The MBTA says the new fairgates will have little impact
on those traveling, saying writers will need to tap or
scan tickets or passes when entering and exiting the station
at South Station. James throwhas WBZ Boston's news radio.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
It's now September, which means cold, flu and covid season.
Not far away. This year, Americans face restrictions on access
to the COVID nineteen booster shots for the first time ever.
A Senate committee is expected to look into a planned
crackdown on America's organ transplant system this weekend. This is
the month that Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior, promises
(05:31):
to divulge the causes of autism. Kennedy says the condition
is an epidemic that dwarfs the COVID pandemic. Kennedy, a
noted vaccine skeptic, also claims environmental factors as well as vaccines,
are behind the rising number of cases of autism in
the United States. Americans have become a glass as half
empty people. New research suggests we've lost faith in the
(05:53):
US economy. The Wall Street Journal poll finds a record
low percentage of people believe their standard of living will
improve this year. More than three quarters say the American dream,
which is to basically work hard and good things will come,
is dead, the highest number in about fifteen years. Sentiment
is also partisan politics, with Republicans less pessimistic than their
Democratic counterparts, but both women and men, young and older
(06:17):
Americans are generally down in the dumps. While technology has
made it easier to connect, actual intimacy continues to take
as the amount of adults who say they have sex
weekly has dropped nearly twenty percent in the last thirty
five years.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Young adults are now more likely to be celibate, to
have not had sex in the last year, to have
not had any sexual partners by the age of twenty four.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Gene Twangey is an author who studies sexual behavior.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
The percentage of young adults who have not had sex
in the last year doubled between twenty ten and twenty
twenty four, so it used to be twelve percent, and
in the most recent data it's twenty four percent.
