This is WBZ, Boston's news radio, redefining local news. Is this thing on. It's six o'clock on a Monday morning, and welcome right back to action this morning. Under partly cloudy skies, we get our day started with fifty six degrees. The News at six is brought to us by You're a New England Toyota dealer, your hybrid all wheel drive headquarters. Good morning, I'm Jeff Brown. It is not summer anymore. A drawing day today with war clouds and sun and
behind in the midwa for sixties. And is WBZ acuather meteorologist Joe Lundberg pretty much the same at least through the middle of this week. Fall is officially here and it's making its presence known. WBC's James Rojas is in Melrose with more.
It's like someone flipped the switch for fall. Our first sign of autumn showed up about a week ago when trees started shedding their leaves. Those leaves are already starting to pile up at parks and on our sidewalks, and this weekend the familiar briskol air rolled on in, letting everyone know that summer has officially sailed off into the sunset.
For many, fall is the best season. New England looks great in these colors, after all, but it's also a big reminder that winter is getting ready for her turn in Melrose. James Drojas WBZ Boston's news radio.
Cold Flu and COVID season is about to launch, and starting this month, Americans can order as many as four coronavirus test packs from the federal government. US Health and Human Services Agency is overseeing the distribution of these free tests, but no exact date for ordering the packages has been announced as of yet. Trouble on the tea this morning, WBC's Drew moholland is here break nearly with details. Good morning, Andrew, Good morning Jeffrey.
Yeah, power problems that the Kenmore stop on the Green Line. Shuttle buses are fired up for you, so are the portions of the BC and D branches. T official state is due to a power issue at Kenmore. That is
the official statement right now. All we know shuttle buses in effect from Blandford Street to Copley on the B branch, between Cleveland Circle and Copley on the C branch, and between Brooklyn Hills to Copley and Leechmere to Medford on the D branch, so that has a lot to take there, and obviously it's quite a mestic at the morning.
Started, yet certainly not the way we want to get started on a Monday morning. Can only get better from here, that's right. That's one way to look at it, right, Thank you, Andrew. And At the movies this weekend.
Bal Juice Bual Juice dominated the box office for the third weekend in a row, breaking it around twenty six million dollars domestically, Transformers One took second with twenty five million. Horror Flick's Speak No Evil and Never Let Go We're third and fourth, bringing in five point nine and four point five million dollars respectively.
That is CBS's Matt Piper. Overall domestic revenues this year are twelve percent behind the same point last year and twenty five percent off the pace in the year leading up to the pandemic. Red Sox sweep a Fenway doubleheader. They keep their slim playoff hopes alive and their final road trip gets underway tonight. Socks are in Toronto for three games beginning later today. The Chiefs survive Atlanta on Sunday Night Football, and the Bruins lose their pre season
opener at the Garden. The Bees will host Washington tomorrow night. Off to a decent start this morning on a Monday, as we get started with a mix of clouds and or partly let's call it partly cloudy since the sun is not up yet. Still got about a half hour to go until sunrise, and when the sun does emerge, we will see partly sunny skies. It's fifty six right now in Boston. High temperatures today getting back into the
mid sixties, and we will see some sunshine, cool breeze. Overall, not a bad day, and when the sun is out it will feel rather warm too. Overnight mostly cloudy tonight, lows back in the fifties for the most part. Pretty much the same story for the at least the early portion of this week, with a mix of sun and clouds during the daylight hours and high temperatures in the sixties.
Next best chance of rain arrives on Thursday, couple of showers, especially in the afternoon, high's approaching seventy and then breaks the sunshine on Friday and into the weekend. Looks like it's going to be dry. Weather, going to be holding steady right through the long term forecast. Here in Boston this morning, under partly cloudy skies, it's fifty six and
dry everywhere out the door. Six oh five on this Monday, bulls will be bulls, and while most are back in captivity from running free in North Attleborough for a while this weekend, one of those bulls remains on the run.
He was there cruising by the Emerald Square mall when the stampede started.
I was in Uber and I seen him jump the fence and everything and run in the air.
So you actually said, oh, yeah, yeah, that was wild.
Did you hear folks say this all the time? But it doesn't make it anything less true.
Definitely not something you really hear around here much, that's for sure.
Yeah.
It's just it's it's a fairly exciting thing that doesn't really happen.
It's sleeping north Eddleborough. Yeah, eight bulls from a local rodeo bowling over a fence and taking off, seven of which have since been corralled. The one, according to North Attleborough Fire, still roams free. Did it make you worry the thing could just come out of nowhere in truck you?
I mean, pretty big can hear in comment, especially on the asphalt.

New presidential polls this weekend show Kamala Harris leads nationwide while Donald Trump is gaining ground in the battleground states. The NBC News national poll gives a five point edge to Harris, while a New York Times Siena College survey shows Trump surging in Arizona and leading in North Carolina and Georgia races. A look inside these numbers with about six weeks to go until election day, suggests this will be one of the tightest presidential elections in US history.
The man seen lurking in the foliage with a rifle at Donald Trump's golf course in Florida heads to court today. Ryan Routh is so far facing charges of possession of a firearm and other related charges, but the Justice Department is weighing even more accusations, possibly related to an attempted assassination on Trump. A detention hearing is scheduled for today
in Florida. The FBI says a partially obliterated serial number on that automatic weapon and his believed presence in the woods for about twelve hours is likely to point to more serious charges on the way, leading lawmakers on Capitol
Hill will kick the can down the road again. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson says House and Senate leaders have agreed on a short term spending deal that will avoid a government shutdown at the end of this month and will keep the government's lights on till just before Christmas. The deal keeps spending levels flat, but adds nearly a quarter billion dollars to bolster the US Secret Service following two assassination attempts on Donald Trump. Lawmakers are expected to
vote on the deal this week. And look who's a birthday boy. Bruce Springsteen is seventy five.
Springsteen has sold more than one hundred and fifty million records worldwide, and he's ranked the twenty fourth greatest of all time artists by Billboard. Billboard has also certified multiple albums Diamond in the US for selling over ten million copies, including his live recording Bruce Springsteen and the EA Street Band Live nineteen seventy five to eighty five.
