This is WBZ, Boston's news radio, redefining local news.

At is WBZ Actually weather meteorologist Joe Lundberg. Maybe some snowflakes as well. It's going to be much better and a little bit milder tomorrow. New US tariffs are expected to kick in next week, but the White House is apparently taking a bit of a step back. President Trump narrows his approach to the new levee set to begin a week from Wednesday, leaving out industry specific tariffs. But we'll continue to roll out what is considered retaliatory tariffs
all around the world. It's called Liberation Day. April second. Bloomberg reports the President is expected to plow forward by hitting back on countries that already charge the US what he considers unfair prices, but the White House is expected to hold off on those related to specific industries, which once again puts plans for Canada and Mexico very much in doubt. Easter might come with a cost this year.
The annual White House Easter egg Roll is looking for corporate sponsorships for this year's event on the South Lawn. Seventy five thousand to two hundred thousand dollars will get you logo and branding opportunities. The egg roll became a tradition shortly after the Civil War and has remained privately funded with no taxpayer dollars ever since. Plans are that all proceeds from this year's event will go to the
White House Historical Association. A Lifetime of Laughs Comedy casts its spell on Conan O'Brien.
You are, in fact, my friend, one of the quickest, smartest, funniest mind I've ever come across.
Will Ferrell, a previous winner of the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, handed this year's award to Conan O'Brien at the Kennedy Center. Accept this award in this spirit of humility, stupidity and nanity, irrelevance.
Fear, self doubt, and profound unceasing silliness.
The new chairman of the Kennedy Center Board, President Trump didn't go unmentioned.
Only he knows his priority's best and there's a lot going on in the world, but probably taking control of the Kennedy Center should be at the top of the list.
Tonan's only regret. I loves my parents in December, within three days to each other.
I would have loved this one.

Major League Baseball becomes the latest to wipe out its DEI initiatives. The career's website page removes any references to diversity, a reaction to President Trump's moves to upend recruiting efforts. The change appears on the Major League Baseball page previously known as the Diversity Pipeline Program, which Commissioner Rob Manfred launched nine years ago. Official say, however, the league's values ain't the same, and a tiger tamed on the dating scene.
Tiger Woods has posted photos on social media confirming he's dating Vanessa Trump, the former daughter in law of the President. In one of them. She is cuddling with him on a hammock. She was married to Donald Trump Junior for twelve years and they have five children together. The photos for the world to see are reminiscent of twenty thirteen, when he and Lindsay Vaughn both posted photos of them together to confirm they were dating Woods. At the time,
he and Vaughn wanted to limit this Stoker Rozzi. Both Woods and Vanessa Trump's children attend the same Palm Beach School. Matt Piper, CBS News.
Quick look at the radar this morning tells you pretty much everything we need to know or starting to see some snowfall and portions of western MASSACHUSETTSS headed this way throughout the morning where it's going to be messy. A little bit later on, we're going to see some rain. Here in Greater Boston, we might see a couple of snowflakes mixed in as temperatures really struggle to get out of the thirties this morning. Right now, it's thirty six degrees.
Tempts will be in the mid forties by this afternoon. However, overnight tonight the shower remains a possibility. The heaviest rain by the way will come this afternoon in Greater Boston and the showers will linger into the overnight hours. Tomorrow looks like it's a mix of sun and clouds with high temperatures in the mid fifties, and we're back and forth this week. We're only in the mid forties on Wednesday, but we'll bounce back into the fifties as we head
towards the weekend. Right now in Boston it is thirty six degrees and mostly cloudy skies at six oh five on this Monday morning. So this is spring.
We've waved goodbye to the winter season, but we're all still bundled up already.
So cold here.
Well, this is unbearable flashes of some nicer weather, However, a warm spring doesn't want to stick around just yet. And as we get a new week, gusty winds, rain, and there's even a little snow flying around for some of us, shorts aren't exactly on the radar just yet, despite what some of us are hoping for for it.
To be this cold in mid March.
Let's just hope we turn the tide as we close in on a new month.
Well, hopefully it will be snowing in April early spring.

The US Bureau of Labor Statistics shows for electricity, Boston Metro households that's Boston, Cambridge and Newton paid thirty and a half cents per kilowatt hour last December. That's more than seventy three percent higher than the national average cost of just eighteen cents per kilowatt hour. The Bureau also shows at natural gas prices last December for Bostonians worth
sixty five percent higher than the national average. New England relies heavily on natural gas imported from Canada, causing fears that if more tariffs are imposed on energy and Canada, prices will likely rise even higher in the region. Sherry Small WBZ Boston's News radio.
