Speaker 1: a couple of leftover showers. Is going to be a
Speaker 1: mostly cloudy and breezy day today. High temperatures are going
Speaker 1: to get very close to sixty degrees. In fact, right
Speaker 1: now it's fifty five here in Boston, way above the
Speaker 1: normal temperatures for this time time of year. That's going
Speaker 1: to change in a flash overnight tonight. It's going to
Speaker 1: get sharply colder as a cold front moves in. Very
Speaker 1: windy conditions move in tomorrow, but it's a return of sunshine.
Speaker 1: High temperatures will only be in the lower forties, but
Speaker 1: there will be a wind chill factor as well. It
Speaker 1: continues to be rather nice over the weekend, but still
Speaker 1: a bit breezy and a bit colder, with highs only
Speaker 1: around forty degrees on Saturday, and pretty much the same
Speaker 1: story for Sunday as well, maybe a little bit lighter

Speaker 6: over which laws take precedent federal or local. She used
Speaker 6: that as an opportunity to advocate for what she'd like
Speaker 6: to see come out of Congress.

Speaker 5: for veterans. That is what will make our city safe.
