This is WBZY, Boston's news radio. We defining local news. Seventy four degrees and we are starting to see some sunshine. It is six o'clock here on this Tuesday morning, August twelveth, twenty twenty five. In this hour of news brought to you by your New England Toyota Dealer, your all wheel Drive headquarters. Thank you so much for joining us. I'm Jim McKay and here's what's happening. Well, we've got another
hot one on tap. The dog days of summer are here, and we're going to be flirting with a heat wave this week.
Up today with plenty of sunshine, eyes low to mid nineties, staying in the eighties and mere ninety for the CAEP in the island.
That is wbz ACU weather meteorologist Joe Lundberg, and we continue to track these ninety degrade days and we're looking at also the air quality alerts that could also be going into effect today as it could get rather muggy out there in the midst of all of this heat. It's going to be very warm out there once again tomorrow. Well, we do have a tropical storm. Were also keeping an eye on Tropical Storm errand continues to form in the Atlantic, and there is the potential that it may advance into
a Category one hurricane. If that is the case, that would be the first of the hurricane season. And right now it is tracking to be off the Cuban coastline somewhere around Friday night around eight o'clock. Is it going to affect the southeastern US. Well, we got to keep an eye on it, and we will for you right
here on WVZ News Radio. Well, hundreds of National Guardsmen activated in the nation's capital, the President saying he is deploying National guardsmen in an effort to curb crime, the first time in American history that a president is seizing control of police in the nation's capital. ABC Stephen Portnoy with the tail.
If you look at the statistics that have been compiled and reported by the DC police, he's wrong. Mayor of this city, Muriel Bowser, gave a news conference yesterday afternoon in which she said that crime in the city's actually at a thirty year low. Now. Mayor Bowser has tried to walk a careful line here because she knows that the President in the law, arguably along with Congress and the Constitution has extraordinary powers that he may still be keeping close to his chest.
And protesters gathered outside the White House after the President's announcement yesterday denouncing the move to deploy the National Guard in DC. Well, we have new comments this morning from Ukrainian President rather Vladimir Zelensky about the upcoming summit between Russian President Vladimir Putin and President Trump, Zelensky saying that Russia is not interested in peace in Ukraine. In fact,
they're planning new attacks. This taking place right before this upcoming summit in Alaska this Friday, between President Trump and Vladimir Putin. Well, the pot keeps on growing. No winner once again. And last night's powerball jackpot it's now up over a half billion dollars and then some. It currently stands at five hundred and twenty million dollars. Excuse me, that's two hundred and forty million dollars in cash, and of course those odds of winning roughly one and two
hundred and ninety two million. And right now we are looking at sunshine here on this Tuesday morning, just starting to come up here at daybreak, and again we have another beautiful morning out there. I know these afternoons they get so hot, but these nice warm summer mornings, get a cup of coffee. If you're able to relax, you get a couple of days off. Got some real nice heat out there in the afternoon, but for the morning
it is certainly nice and comfortable. We're at seventy four right now in Boston, and again we're kind of looking at some hazy skies here. Again we're talking about those air quality alerts. We could be triggering some this week, not any right now according to the National Weather Service, but nevertheless, we're climbing up into the mid nineties later on this afternoon. A bit more of that coastal breeze,
we'll cool things off. If you're along the north South Shore Cape in the Islands for your Wednesday tomorrow sunshine and clouds once again works to be in the nineties if we get there, well, we've got ourselves a heat wave, ladies and gentlemen for the first three days of this week. Then by Thursday, high of eighty two we could see a thunderstorm in the mix. A lot more comfortable Friday heading off into the weekend, as we could be back
down in the mid to upper seventies. And right now we're looking at an outstanding weekend, but we've got a bit of a ways to go here seventy four degrees starting to see sunshine. It is sixh six now on WBZ News Radio. Well kids in need getting some new school year gear and Waltham without the financial burden that comes along with it.
So first, the most important thing, you said, ready to go to school.
Waltham Mayor Jeanette MacCarthy was on hand for the event at the Salvation Army's Community Center on Myrtle Street. Volunteers stood behind tables handing out all sorts of school supplies, books, backpacks, notebooks. Salvation Army Captain Justin Barter.
Being able to see all these people come, both the volunteers who are here helping us serve the community and the local organizations who are really helping to make this event special, and then seeing all the phases of the people who are lined up ready to be served, is just such a blessing. Being able to know that they're going to leave here with something that's going to get their family ready for the future.
There will be an even bigger donation event this Wednesday at TD Garden. Families will need to pre register beforehand. Jeremy Ross WBZ Boston's news radio, and.
It is now six oh seven on WBZ News Radio. Governor Mora Heally isn't jumping to any decisions about whether or not to call for Suffolk Sheriff Stephen Tompkins to resign after his Florida arrest, saying the accusations against him are certainly serious, but she needs more information. Tompkins is accused of extorting a cannabis retailer doing business in Boston.
They're based out of Florida. He was released on bond on Friday, but he has to report to federal court in Boston for an upcoming appearance this Friday at six seven on WBZ News Radio. Baylor versus Boston University. We're not talking about a ballgame, but rather a lawsuit. Baylor is suing Boston University over the school's use of their interlocking BU logo, saying it violates a design that Baylor
had trademarked. The suit was filed at federal court in Texas, and Baylor is asking the court to require BU to destroy all goods, packaging, signing, advertising, and Internet postings regarding that logo and then want to recover any cost for the litigation and any future potential financial relief. It's even more bizarre. This isn't the first time this has happened, as Baylor took bu to court over this in the mid eighties. Back in nineteen eighty seven, and the two schools settled out of court.
You are now in the loop for news updates throughout the day.
