Speaker 1: the middle of this week. Fall is officially here and
Speaker 1: it's making its presence known. WBC's James Rojas is in
Speaker 1: Melrose with more.
Speaker 2: It's like someone flipped the switch for fall. Our first
Speaker 2: sign of autumn showed up about a week ago when
Speaker 2: trees started shedding their leaves. Those leaves are already starting
Speaker 2: to pile up at parks and on our sidewalks, and
Speaker 2: this weekend the familiar briskol air rolled on in, letting
Speaker 2: everyone know that summer has officially sailed off into the sunset.
Speaker 2: For many, fall is the best season. New England looks
Speaker 2: great in these colors, after all, but it's also a
Speaker 2: big reminder that winter is getting ready for her turn
Speaker 2: in Melrose. James Drojas WBZ Boston's news radio.

Speaker 1: or partly let's call it partly cloudy since the sun
Speaker 1: is not up yet. Still got about a half hour
Speaker 1: to go until sunrise, and when the sun does emerge,
Speaker 1: we will see partly sunny skies. It's fifty six right
Speaker 1: now in Boston. High temperatures today getting back into the
Speaker 1: mid sixties, and we will see some sunshine, cool breeze. Overall,
Speaker 1: not a bad day, and when the sun is out
Speaker 1: it will feel rather warm too. Overnight mostly cloudy tonight,
Speaker 1: lows back in the fifties for the most part. Pretty
Speaker 1: much the same story for the at least the early
Speaker 1: portion of this week, with a mix of sun and
Speaker 1: clouds during the daylight hours and high temperatures in the sixties.
Speaker 1: Next best chance of rain arrives on Thursday, couple of showers,
Speaker 1: especially in the afternoon, high's approaching seventy and then breaks
Speaker 1: the sunshine on Friday and into the weekend. Looks like

Speaker 1: this weekend, one of those bulls remains on the run.
Speaker 5: He was there cruising by the Emerald Square mall when
Speaker 5: the stampede started.
Speaker 3: I was in Uber and I seen him jump the
Speaker 3: fence and everything and run in the air.
Speaker 1: So you actually said, oh, yeah, yeah, that was wild.
Speaker 5: Did you hear folks say this all the time? But
Speaker 5: it doesn't make it anything less true.
Speaker 3: Definitely not something you really hear around here much, that's
Speaker 3: for sure.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: It's just it's it's a fairly exciting thing that doesn't
Speaker 3: really happen.
Speaker 5: It's sleeping north Eddleborough. Yeah, eight bulls from a local
Speaker 5: rodeo bowling over a fence and taking off, seven of
Speaker 5: which have since been corralled. The one, according to North
Speaker 5: Attleborough Fire, still roams free. Did it make you worry
Speaker 5: the thing could just come out of nowhere in truck you?

Speaker 1: New presidential polls this weekend show Kamala Harris leads nationwide
Speaker 1: while Donald Trump is gaining ground in the battleground states.
Speaker 1: The NBC News national poll gives a five point edge
Speaker 1: to Harris, while a New York Times Siena College survey
Speaker 1: shows Trump surging in Arizona and leading in North Carolina
Speaker 1: and Georgia races. A look inside these numbers with about
Speaker 1: six weeks to go until election day, suggests this will
Speaker 1: be one of the tightest presidential elections in US history.
Speaker 1: The man seen lurking in the foliage with a rifle
Speaker 1: at Donald Trump's golf course in Florida heads to court today.
Speaker 1: Ryan Routh is so far facing charges of possession of
Speaker 1: a firearm and other related charges, but the Justice Department
Speaker 1: is weighing even more accusations, possibly related to an attempted
Speaker 1: assassination on Trump. A detention hearing is scheduled for today
Speaker 1: in Florida. The FBI says a partially obliterated serial number
Speaker 1: on that automatic weapon and his believed presence in the
Speaker 1: woods for about twelve hours is likely to point to
Speaker 1: more serious charges on the way, leading lawmakers on Capitol
Speaker 1: Hill will kick the can down the road again. Speaker
Speaker 1: of the House Mike Johnson says House and Senate leaders
Speaker 1: have agreed on a short term spending deal that will
