Flooding possible again Sunday

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:26:35 GMT

Yet another slow-moving system is in the forecast, looking to produce widespread showers and storms on Sunday. A flood watch is in effect for most of the area, with 2-4″ more rain expected for locations already saturated from rainfall this week. Early Sunday morning, heavy showers and storms will start firing in eastern New York and head into New England. By noontime they will start to move over the Boston Area, with some downpours capable of 2″ per hour rainfall rates.Showers and storms then head south and east of Boston for the evening, piling up another 2″+ for the South Shore, Cape, and islands. The risk of flash flooding is high, given how saturated the ground is. Locations north and west of Boston are at highest risk, but even locations outside the flood watch could see flooding. In addition to the flood risk, thunderstorms may have enough energy to cause some isolated wind damage. This does include a slight risk for a spin-up tornado or two, but and tornado ...

Uncharacteristic James Paxton performance headlines stunning Red Sox loss

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:26:35 GMT

On Saturday, Boston’s ‘Little Engine That Possibly Could’ came to a screeching halt.After cruising to victory with a barrage of home runs in Friday night’s series opener against the Chicago Cubs, the Red Sox found themselves on the receiving end of a similar offensive onslaught; a series of questionable defensive decisions and miscues coupled with an uncharacteristic collapse by James Paxton culminated in a 10-4 loss to the 43-48 NL Central team.Highlights were few and far between. Justin Turner extended his hitting streak to 11 games with a pair of doubles, a run, and RBI, and Triston Casas homered for the second time in the series; at 112.1 mph and 425 feet, the rookie’s 11th home run of the year was the farthest and hardest-hit ball of the game.By game’s end, the Cubs had tallied 12 hits and four walks and held the Red Sox to six and three. They were 1-for-10 with runners in scoring position and left four men on base. Masataka Yoshida celebrate...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:26:35 GMT

Boston activist Monica Cannon-Grant, who along with her late husband was indicted last year on 18-fraud related counts related to their charity Violence in Boston, was found to have violated her release conditions by receiving her father’s financial benefits.“Because the defendant is a serial fraudster, because the defendant’s prior history as a family fiduciary is marked with red flags, and because the defendant has a history of deceiving financial monitors, the government opposes the defendant’s request,” federal prosecutors wrote in a Feb. 7 motion opposing her request to amend her release conditions to handle her father’s set finances.Cannon-Grant’s request was filed in federal court in Boston in February, but it along with two response motions from prosecutors were unsealed Friday. At a hearing held then, Magistrate Judge Judith G. Dein found that “there was a clear violation of conditions of release” and ordered that Cannon-Grant no longer have access to her father’s Vet...

Mets’ closer David Robertson’s second-half hopes: ‘Stay here and not give up a run’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:26:35 GMT

David Robertson has one goal for the second half of the 2023 season: “Not give up a run.”The Mets have been using the right-handed reliever as a closer this season in the absence of Edwin Diaz and he’s been an integral part of the bullpen. Coming into the weekend, the 38-year-old veteran was 3-2 with a 2.06 ERA and 12 saves and a 202 ERA+. The Mets have been able to count on little this year, especially when it comes to relief pitching.The 4.15 ERA is the seventh-worst in the league, just ahead of the Yankees. The club’s decision to lean heavily on organizational talent and relievers with options has backfired. Robertson and the other high-leverage relievers like left-hander Brooks Raley and Adam Ottavino have been overused at times and gone unused at others.“By and large, some of the guys pitching late in the game have been called on a lot,” general manager Billy Eppler said Friday. “The scores of our games kind of plays into that a little ...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:26:35 GMT

Elon Musk says Twitter is still losing cash because advertising has dropped by half.In a reply to a tweet offering business advice, Musk tweeted Saturday, “We’re still negative cash flow, due to (about a) 50% drop in advertising revenue plus heavy debt load.”“Need to reach positive cash flow before we have the luxury of anything else,” he concluded.Ever since he took over Twitter in a $44 billion deal last fall, Musk has tried to reassure advertisers who were concerned about the ouster of top executives, widespread layoffs and a different approach to content moderation. Some high-profile users who had been banned were allowed back on the site.In April, Musk said most of the advertisers who left had returned and that the company might become cash-flow positive in the second quarter.In May, he hired a new CEO, Linda Yaccarino, an NBCUniversal executive with deep ties to the advertising industry. But since then, Twitter has upset some users by imposing new limits on how many tweets the...

State of Texas: Compromise at the Capitol sends property tax relief to Texas voters

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:26:35 GMT

AUSTIN (Nexstar) - After a months-long stalemate that led to two special sessions, Texas lawmakers reached a compromise deal on property tax relief. The legislation passed both the House and Senate Thursday evening with near-unanimous support.It includes a measure to raise the homestead exemption to $100,000, up from the current $40,000 exemption.The plan includes $12 billion to lower school property tax rates, by having the state pay part of what school districts normally collect from homeowners and businesses. The compromise plan would cut franchise taxes for small businesses, and non-homestead properties worth $5 million or less would get a break on appraised values under a three-year pilot program.Texas voters will make the final decision over whether to put the tax relief plan into place. The legislation requires voter approval in a constitutional amendment election to be held in November.Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick told Nexstar he expects the measures will receive strong public appr...

Matt Wallner is back with Twins, but regular playing time might be hard to find

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:26:35 GMT

OAKLAND, Calif. — Matt Wallner had to work hard to make it back to the big leagues. Now that he’s back with the Twins, finding opportunities to get on the field might be just as difficult.Wallner, 25, was recalled before Saturday’s 6:40 CDT p.m. first pitch against the A’s at Oakland Coliseum and not in the lineup, which makes sense because he took a 7:45 a.m. flight from the Twin Cities to the Bay Area.That might change on Sunday, a day game after a night game, and a getaway day before the Twins start a four-game series in Seattle on Monday night. As for regular at-bats, it might be tough.The outfielder replaced infielder Jose Miranda, on the 10-day injured list because of an impingement in his right shoulder, on the active roster.Recalling Wallner instead of an infielder, manager Rocco Baldelli said, “Is a unique thing because we have left-handed hitting corner outfielders. But he’s been doing a good job.”In his last four major league games, Wallner hit .636 with a 1.692 OPS...
