the fog and the clouds this morning in Boston. It's fifty six degrees right now in the city and really another rather cool day in the offing here for this time of year in Greater Boston will see temperatures in the mid to upper sixties, maybe seventy in localized areas, but this is going to be a mostly cloudy day. We'll see some peaks of sunshine from time to time, but it's a gray day overall, and it continues cloudy overnight tonight and tomorrow too, clouds limiting the sunshine once again.

High near seventy. We're going to turn a corner as we get towards the middle of this week, as we will finally get to see some sunshine again and the humidity levels will be on the rise, temperatures will be two, will be in the eighties beginning on Wednesday, and very close to ninety on Thursday as well. And it does look like right now going to break this string of thirteen consecutive weekends with precipitation. We're going to have to keep a close eye on it and fingers crossed, but

right now it looks pretty good for the weekend. As this moment in Boston, it's fifty six here in the city, six h six on this Monday morning.

Harvard is suing the Trump administration over its decision to stop processing foreign student visas for those who intend to study at the school. The White House says the President has the right and obligation to ban the visas and the interest of national security. Foreign students make up more than one quarter of the student population. The government will also urge the court to reject claims that the ban is discriminatory, violates the First Amendment, and would cause the

school irreparable harm. Matt phipps WBZ Boston's news radio. For the first time in half a century. Researchers say more immigrants are on track to leave the United States than arrive in this country this year.
