IT’S NOT GOING TO RAIN THE ENTIRE DAY, BUT THERE WILL BE SOME STORMS THAT ROLL THROUGH. AND WHEN THEY DO, YOU’RE GOING TO WANT TO TAKE SOME COVER BECAUSE THEY ARE GOING TO PUT DOWN A LOT OF RAIN. WE GOT QUITE A BIT OF RAIN IN SPOTS YESTERDAY. RIGHT NOW THOUGH, IT IS DRY, A LITTLE MURKY IN WORCESTER AT 62. SAME DEAL IN BOSTON SITTING AT 64 DEGREES. THOSE STORMS WE HAD IN THE MORNING HOURS, EVERYBODY GOT IN ON THE RAIN.

LEAST FOR MOST OF US. THE CAPTAIN SEE QUITE AS MUCH. BUT, YOU KNOW, WE’VE GONE FOUR WHOLE DAYS THIS MONTH, THE PAST FOUR DAYS WITHOUT ANY RAIN. AND OF COURSE, WE GOT IN ON IT THIS MORNING AND YOU CAN SEE THE RADAR WAS ALL LIT UP THIS MORNING. WE HAD SOME SHOWERS, SOME DOWNPOURS, EVEN SOME THUNDER. MAYBE YOU GOT WOKEN UP EARLY BY SOME OF THAT THAT WAS ROLLING ON THROUGH. SO THIS DID LEAVE A MARK IN TERMS OF RAINFALL. YOU CAN SEE WE PICKED UP NEARLY AN INCH IN WORCESTER UNDER A HALF AN INCH IN BOSTON.

AND A GOOD THURSDAY TO YOU. OF COURSE, THAT MEANS AN UPDATE WITH THE DROUGHT MONITOR. AND YOU’RE THINKING AT THIS POINT, THE DROUGHT HAS TO BE OVER ALMOST. IT’S CERTAINLY GETTING BETTER NOW. JUST 12% OF THE STATE DEALING WITH MODERATE DROUGHT CONDITIONS, PARTICULARLY ON THE CAPE, WHERE WE HAVEN’T HAD AS MUCH RAIN AS THE REST OF US HAVE LATELY. ELSEWHERE, EVEN THE ABNORMALLY DRY AREA IS SHRINKING UP. THIS IS SUCH A CHANGE FROM FEBRUARY, WHEN 80% OF THE STATE WAS CONSIDERED IN MODERATE DROUGHT.

Waves of euphoria and relief spilled out of the TD Garden on Wednesday night after Celtics fans celebrated Boston's win over the New York Knicks. With Jayson Tatum out with a season-ending Achilles tendon injury, his teammates stepped up. Derrick White had 34 points, including seven 3-pointers, to lead the Celtics to a 127-102 Game 5 win over the New York Knicks on Wednesday night that kept them alive in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

WE’RE SEEING SOME LIGHTNING OUT THERE. YEAH. JUST GOT A NEW STRIKE POPPING UP AROUND SUTTON. SO IF YOU’RE OUT IN THAT AREA, YOU’RE LIKE, WHAT WAS THAT? WAS THAT LIGHTNING AND THUNDER? YES, IT WAS. YES. IT’S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THIS MORNING THAN THE PAST FEW MORNINGS. WE’VE HAD ALL THE SUNSHINE. IT’S A LITTLE UNSETTLED TO START. LOT OF CLOUDS, SOME AREAS OF RAIN AND SOME EMBEDDED DOWNPOURS TOO.
