00:00:00.960 --> 00:00:11.320
<v Speaker 1>This is WBZ, Boston's news radio, redefining local news. Ninety

2
00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:14.400
<v Speaker 1>two degrees in Boston at four o'clock. Good afternoon, I'm

3
00:00:14.439 --> 00:00:17.199
<v Speaker 1>Ben Parker. Here's what's happening. If you needed another reason

4
00:00:17.239 --> 00:00:19.039
<v Speaker 1>to be hot, try today.

5
00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:22.320
<v Speaker 2>This is hot. This is wa. This is wa. This

6
00:00:22.440 --> 00:00:23.320
<v Speaker 2>is wa hot.

7
00:00:23.559 --> 00:00:27.039
<v Speaker 1>Another day of ninety plus degree weather in parts of

8
00:00:27.079 --> 00:00:29.399
<v Speaker 1>the region today, and yeah, it's a heat wave. But

9
00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:32.719
<v Speaker 1>relief is coming in the form of water for some,

10
00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:36.479
<v Speaker 1>perhaps a lot of it. The atmosphere has incredible amounts

11
00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:40.039
<v Speaker 1>of moisture above us, so anytime it rains today, it

12
00:00:40.159 --> 00:00:42.479
<v Speaker 1>is going to just pour on us. I want to

13
00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:46.280
<v Speaker 1>SEEBS News Boston meteorologist Jacob Wycoff. And for some places

14
00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:50.320
<v Speaker 1>it has been pouring. We had some rain and showers

15
00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:52.960
<v Speaker 1>off to the south just south of Plymouth that pushed

16
00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:56.799
<v Speaker 1>across the bay there and is making a move right

17
00:00:56.840 --> 00:01:00.600
<v Speaker 1>into Truro and Wealthlee to East Ham could get brushed

18
00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:02.759
<v Speaker 1>by this too. In Provincetown as well, that's got some

19
00:01:02.759 --> 00:01:05.359
<v Speaker 1>pretty heavy downpours in it, and we've had some downpours

20
00:01:05.359 --> 00:01:07.920
<v Speaker 1>in fact one that's kind of hung around for a while.

21
00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:11.359
<v Speaker 1>In southern Rhode Island, it is starting to move off

22
00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:14.959
<v Speaker 1>toward Westport. Eventually New Bedford could get under some of

23
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:17.680
<v Speaker 1>this heavy rain, and there's some more showers further back

24
00:01:17.719 --> 00:01:19.680
<v Speaker 1>and out toward the west. We'll keep an eye on

25
00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:22.159
<v Speaker 1>things for you as things fire up a little bit

26
00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:24.680
<v Speaker 1>more this afternoon. There is a floodwatch by the way

27
00:01:24.840 --> 00:01:27.680
<v Speaker 1>until two o'clock in the morning because of the threat

28
00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:30.599
<v Speaker 1>of those heavy rains. Auth alreadys in Texas are not

29
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:33.359
<v Speaker 1>responding to questions about reports of delayed weather alerts for

30
00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:36.560
<v Speaker 1>the deadly flooding over the weekend. Officials faced many questions

31
00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:39.040
<v Speaker 1>during a news conference today about who was monitoring the

32
00:01:39.079 --> 00:01:41.120
<v Speaker 1>weather at the time of the floods, which now have

33
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:43.799
<v Speaker 1>killed more than one hundred people. Local officials in Kirk

34
00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:47.079
<v Speaker 1>County say their priority is finding victims, not reviewing what

35
00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:50.959
<v Speaker 1>happened before the floods. President Trump's once again expressing frustration

36
00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:53.079
<v Speaker 1>with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

37
00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:55.159
<v Speaker 3>The President has made this perfectly clear.

38
00:01:55.319 --> 00:01:56.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm not happy with Putin.

39
00:01:56.680 --> 00:02:00.079
<v Speaker 3>Speaking at a cabin admitting, Trump cursed when reflecting on

40
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:03.319
<v Speaker 3>the Russian president's foot dragging over a peace deal with Ukraine.

41
00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:06.040
<v Speaker 1>Very nice all the time, but it turns out to

42
00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:07.599
<v Speaker 1>be meaningless.

43
00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:11.000
<v Speaker 3>Trump also discussed further sanctions against Russia totally.

44
00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:13.800
<v Speaker 1>At my option, and to terminate totally at my option,

45
00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:15.960
<v Speaker 1>and I'm looking at it very strongly.

46
00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:18.759
<v Speaker 3>The president's comments came one day after his decision to

47
00:02:18.759 --> 00:02:23.159
<v Speaker 3>resume sending weapons to Ukraine. Linday Canyon, CBS News the

48
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:23.639
<v Speaker 3>White House.

49
00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:26.520
<v Speaker 1>The President's also threatening to impose higher tariffs on more

50
00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:28.840
<v Speaker 1>than a dozen countries unless they agree to trade it

51
00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:31.400
<v Speaker 1>deals with the US. The President sending out letters to

52
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:35.479
<v Speaker 1>world leaders and forming them of new tariff rates, the details,

53
00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:36.759
<v Speaker 1>and the new deadline.

54
00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:39.400
<v Speaker 4>President Trump, and a new social media post indicates he's

55
00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:42.039
<v Speaker 4>standing firm on his August first deadline for tariffs to

56
00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:44.560
<v Speaker 4>go into effect, the President writing quote, there has been

57
00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:47.000
<v Speaker 4>no change to this date, and there will be no change,

58
00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:49.759
<v Speaker 4>and he adds quote no extension will be granted. But

59
00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:52.360
<v Speaker 4>Monday night he gave mixed messages on whether that August

60
00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:55.240
<v Speaker 4>first deadline was set, saying first it was quote firm,

61
00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:57.879
<v Speaker 4>but not one hundred percent firm, later telling me the

62
00:02:57.879 --> 00:02:59.400
<v Speaker 4>time for negotiations are over.

63
00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:03.840
<v Speaker 3>I'm concerned. We're done with sending out letters to various

64
00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:06.199
<v Speaker 3>countries telling them how much tariffs they have to pay.

65
00:03:06.439 --> 00:03:08.719
<v Speaker 4>Karen travers, ABC News the White House.

66
00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:11.439
<v Speaker 1>We are keeping an eye to the sky this afternoon

67
00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:15.680
<v Speaker 1>as we have some thunderstorms and heavy downpours that may

68
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:18.560
<v Speaker 1>affect some of us. The floodwatches up until two o'clock

69
00:03:18.759 --> 00:03:21.280
<v Speaker 1>in the morning. We have been hot and humid today

70
00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:24.039
<v Speaker 1>and that humidity is starting to wring itself out over

71
00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:27.680
<v Speaker 1>the top of us. We have right now some storms

72
00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:31.000
<v Speaker 1>and some pretty heavy downpours on a line from Newport,

73
00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:35.039
<v Speaker 1>Rhode Island, up through Westport. So these are moving a

74
00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:37.439
<v Speaker 1>little bit off toward the east and may get in

75
00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:40.280
<v Speaker 1>our New Bedford shortly. There are some downpours embedded in that.

76
00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:42.599
<v Speaker 1>In fact, they've been some pretty heavy rains in southern

77
00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:45.479
<v Speaker 1>Rhode Island today in this afternoon, and then some other

78
00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:50.680
<v Speaker 1>storm cells are moving onto the Cape out toward well Fleet,

79
00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:53.639
<v Speaker 1>where they may get under some downpours pretty shortly. Touro's

80
00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:55.919
<v Speaker 1>getting a little bit of rain too, Provincetown could get some.

81
00:03:56.199 --> 00:03:59.319
<v Speaker 1>This was all the cells that pushed off the coast

82
00:03:59.479 --> 00:04:02.000
<v Speaker 1>a while back, so they've still got a little bit

83
00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:03.719
<v Speaker 1>of ringing out to do, and there's a little bit

84
00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:06.599
<v Speaker 1>of rain back into south central Massachusetts. Had along a

85
00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:09.680
<v Speaker 1>turnpike and then back into Connecticut, but nothing really major,

86
00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:12.879
<v Speaker 1>not right now. There could be later as some more

87
00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:17.160
<v Speaker 1>storms heat up. Eventually. Tonight we're cooling down to about

88
00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:20.839
<v Speaker 1>sixty eight and then mostly cloudy tomorrow, still a little humid.

89
00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:23.839
<v Speaker 1>Temperatures don't go very far seventy three in Boston, upper

90
00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:27.120
<v Speaker 1>seventies Inland. Maybe a passing shower Thursday, the risk of

91
00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:30.279
<v Speaker 1>a gusti or thunderstorm around with temperatures only in the

92
00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:33.720
<v Speaker 1>mid seventies, and then Friday, more clouds than sun, humid

93
00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:36.399
<v Speaker 1>with a shower, highs close to eighty. Right now, we're

94
00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:41.040
<v Speaker 1>at ninety two in Boston. River Check green Grass Check.

95
00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:50.519
<v Speaker 1>A new stretch of biking and walking path is open,

96
00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:55.279
<v Speaker 1>completing the miss missing link along the Toponset River Greenway.

97
00:04:55.399 --> 00:04:57.279
<v Speaker 2>It's only been open for a few days, but Jack

98
00:04:57.360 --> 00:04:59.759
<v Speaker 2>is already making the most of it. A Ponset River Greenway.

99
00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:03.959
<v Speaker 1>I just went up to Sullivan's and back and I'll

100
00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:06.800
<v Speaker 1>be over at the Granite ab Bridge. So it's a

101
00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:10.639
<v Speaker 1>great ride. It's safe. Love it.

102
00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:12.879
<v Speaker 2>The new stretch connects a path at Tanean Beach with

103
00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:16.120
<v Speaker 2>Morrissey Boulevard, an area where bikers previously had to contend

104
00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:18.879
<v Speaker 2>with bumpy sidewalks at rush hour traffic. Now they get

105
00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:21.360
<v Speaker 2>a smooth new path with scenic views of the ocean

106
00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:23.720
<v Speaker 2>and the gas tank. Osgen says the new path is

107
00:05:23.720 --> 00:05:25.680
<v Speaker 2>the perfect solution and was well worth the weight.

108
00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:28.199
<v Speaker 3>Well, I was waiting for it for two years.

109
00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:31.160
<v Speaker 4>Actually, I'm very excited about that.

110
00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:31.600
<v Speaker 2>I know.

111
00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:33.600

116
00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:45.519
<v Speaker 1>some of the trails are out of the country, but

117
00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:48.120
<v Speaker 1>not the Freedom Trail in Boston and the Appalation Trail

118
00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:50.199
<v Speaker 1>in New Hampshire. All trails out with a list that
