This is WBZY, Boston's news radio, redefining local news. Well, that happened quickly, almost too quickly, as it always does. Right back at it, following the long holiday weekend for many of us. At is six o'clock Monday morning, bright and early, under clear skies. It is just twenty nine degrees in Boston. The News at six brought to us by your new England Toyota Dealer, your hybrid all wheel drive headquarters. Welcome back. I'm Jeff Brown. We're right back at it.
The start of the work week will be cold and dry, with sunshine for the most part in high's near forty.
At is WBZ acuweather meteorologist Joe Lundberg. Chance for some snow is actually coming up. Later on this week, Celtic's seven game winning streak comes to a halt. The Cavaliers outlast the Seas in Cleveland. Celtics will host the Heat tonight. Bruins celebrate a century with a big win over Montreal at the Garden.

eliminated from the NFL playoffs. In a White House one eighty, President Biden offers full and unconditional pardon to his son Hunter. The decision will clear the younger Biden of a guilty verdict in attacks and drug case in Delaware, and also clears him of his guilty plea in attacks of Asian case in California. The pardon comes just weeks before Hunter Biden was expected to be sentenced in both and faces
decades behind bars. President Biden once said he would not grant clemency to his son, but now says Hunter was selectively and unfairly treated by the US justice system. President elect Donald Trump blasts the decision on social media by raising the issue of pardons for those convicted in the January sixth attack on the US Capitol. In what is expected to be his final overseas trip as president of the United States, President Biden is currently on Air Force one.
He headed for the African nation of Angola. Once on the ground, mister Biden will become the first sitting US president to visit that country and the first president since Barack Obama to visit Africa back in twenty fifteen. The President delivers on a promise that was postponed earlier this fall following hurricanes Milton and Helene. It is a working long holiday weekend for President elect Donald Trump, who continues to fill out positions of power in his new administration.
It is becoming a bit of a family affair as well, as some in laws get some plumb assignments, starting with Charles Kushner as ambassador to France and Massad Bulos top advisor position to mister Trump, both fathers in law of the president Elect's daughters also getting the nod Republican firebrand Kash Patel as head of the FBI. He'd replace mister Trump's own appointee, Christopher Ray, three years before Ray's ten
year term expires. Can't get used to this. It is Monday, all of a sudden from a long holiday weekend, and we're right back at it this morning, and we're in pretty decent shape as far as the weather is concerned. It is a little bit frosty, though very cold, some of the coldest of the season so far. This morning. It's just twenty nine degrees in Boston out the door and barely getting to forty today. But it's going to be a bright, sunny day with some breezy conditions as well.
Overnight continued clear low's back in the twenties. Tomorrow, more sun than clouds, highs once again right around forty sort of a carbon copy of today Wednesday. We're looking at sunshine to start, clouds on the increase, and the possibility of some snow moving into the area. This is mainly going to be north and west of four ninety five, and in those areas we could see an inch or two of accumulation. But here in Greater Boston looks like it's going to be mostly rain. Right now in Boston,
mainly clear. Sky's twenty nine degrees on this Monday morning, it is six oh six. For the first time in three weeks, thousands of students on the North Shore begin a full week of classes this morning. Wb'z eas Drew m'holland is here in the aftermath of those teacher strikes.
Good morning Groop, Good morning Jeffrey. Do we also have to put in a full week?
That's what I'm told. I'm not sure I'm going to deliver, but that's what I'm doing.
Teacher strikes in Gloucester, Marblehead and Beverly are now in the rearview mirror. Teachers in all three communities winning big raises, better benefits and better working conditions. The job action costs each community school districts dearly though hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines. There are court efforts to grant the districts the ability to donate the fines to local charities. We will see how that all plays.
Out, Yes we will. It is also busy and back to reality at Logan Airport this morning, where many holiday travelers are leaving the area. Many still are coming home. Wbz's James Rojas is there.
The cold weather officially feels like it's rolled in, which for some means perfect timing to roll out for something warmer like Florida.
Yeah, yeah, it's like a cool seventy something, agrees, So, yeah, it'll be nice to get back to though.
That's Matt, originally a Boston boy who's ready to fly back to his new home, our money. He's off to vacation somewhere even hotter.
I was actually playing in the beginning of the year. I'm bringing off to Puerto Rico.
Puerto Rico, I would imagine Puerto Rico's weather is a little bit warmer than Boston.
Yeah, when I check the weather, it was it's going to be a a week so it's gonna be.
Real nice, extremely nice compared to other parts of the country that are dealing with winter warnings and feet of snow at Logan James Rojas, WBZ Boston's News Radio.
Big Weekend at the movies.
Balt Disney's More two smashed box office records with two hundred and twenty one million dollars in ticket sales over the five day holiday weekend. That's according to studio estimates. The musical Wicked took it more than one hundred and seventeen million in its second weekend in theaters, not accounting
for inflation. Wicked is now the highest grossing Broadway adaptation, followed by nineteen seventy eight's Grease and director Ridley Scott's sequel Gladiator two, also in its second weekend, collected forty four million dollars. Overall Thanksgiving weekend ticket sales surpassed four hundred million dollars of record that.
