Speaker 1: Malden where it did hit seventy earlier at sixty nine
Speaker 1: there now. And we are going to have a pretty
Speaker 1: decent night tonight, at least the early portion. So whatever
Speaker 1: you're doing from now through the early part of the evening,
Speaker 1: maybe even a little bit later than what we'd call early,
Speaker 1: you should be okay. A couple of showers do get
Speaker 1: in here late tonight as the clouds filter in, keep
Speaker 1: it out of the sky. You'll see the clouds come in,
Speaker 1: and when they do go home, just like the old
Speaker 1: days when you go home for the street lights coming
Speaker 1: on forty six. Eventually the low tonight with those showers
Speaker 1: late and then clouds and some breaks of sun tomorrow,
Speaker 1: but a few showers may pop up as well, and
Speaker 1: then afternoon thundershowers are possible. Sixty one for the high
Speaker 1: by Wednesday, not as mild, will be about fifty with

Speaker 2: price you have to pay nowadays to live in Brookline's
Speaker 2: exclusive Fisher Hill neighborhood. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I mean this is one of the premier neighborhoods in Brookline.
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, we sell property at one thousand
Speaker 5: dollars a foot in this neighborhood on a pretty regular basis.
Speaker 2: This place has all the essentials, a kitchen, full bath.
Speaker 2: But Montgomery says a lot of it comes down to
Speaker 2: the old adage location, location, location.
Speaker 4: Being so close to you know the city and yet
Speaker 4: feeling like you're you know a little bit tucked away
Speaker 4: and the verbs is like really nice.
