We’ve had a lot of rain, have you noticed?Yeah….me too. Unfortunately, we have more rain on tap for Wednesday as a cold front will come plowing into New England during the day. here is the forecast surface map for Wednesday..The good news about this front is that it will sweep all this gross, muggy air out to sea by Thursday but the moving process will result in another round of scattered showers and downpours on Wednesday. The potential is there to pick up 1-2″ of rain and even an isolated 4″ amount of rain is possible and because of this a flood watch is in effect for Wednesday…Right now, it appears the timing for the downpours will be after the Wednesday morning commute but be with us during the midday and afternoon hours. Here are some futurecast timestamps…first up 7am WEDNext up, 1pm WED…And finally, 7pm WED…Again….if you come across a flooded roadway, do not attempt to drive through it as you don’t exactly know how d...

WATCH: SKY7-HD shows aerial view of Leominster after flooding

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:53:54 GMT

SKY7-HD provided an aerial view of Leominster Tuesday after severe flash flooding swept through parts of the city on Monday. Floodwaters rose through several areas within Leominster and its surrounding communities beginning late Monday afternoon. By Tuesday morning, some streets and homes were left in ruins. On Pleasant Street, the surge of water left one home literally on edge with a moat-like hole eroded around it. Pleasant Street itself was ripped up with underground pipes exposed. An indoor flea market off Spruce Street was torn apart. Overhead, the view from the sky showed how part of the building collapsed. Another section was left severely cracked. At the Meadowbrook Acres mobile home community elsewhere in Leominster, a major cleanup was underway just hours after rescue crews had to evacuate people from their flooded homes. Though some of the floodwater had receded, there was still lots of water in parts of Leominster on Tuesday, with enough in one s...

Reports: Revolution decline to practice due to a lack of transparency over Arena

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:53:54 GMT

Richie Williams will continue to have the word “interim” attached to his job title.Williams became the de facto head coach on the New England Revolution on Saturday night when his mentor, Bruce Arena, resigned as the club’s head coach and sporting director.The news Arena’s resignation broke following the Revolution’s 1-1 draw with Minnesota United FC at Allianz Field in St. Paul, Minn.Williams has severed as the Revolution’s field manager in four straight MLS matches since replacing Arena on Aug. 1. Arena was placed on administrative leave pending an investigation by MLS for making “insensitive and inappropriate remarks.”The fact that Arena resigned suggests there was substance to the allegations levied against him, but Williams referred all inquiries in that regard to MLS during a news briefing on Tuesday afternoon.“In terms of the staff and me being interim head coach, they have asked me to take over as coach until the end of the season and hopefully into the playoffs and win a ch...

Howie Carr: Adult-type bills onerous, to Democrats

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:53:54 GMT

Another day, another “existential crisis” facing the planet.Have you noticed these existential crises are coming at us faster and faster these days, at least in state-run media?If it’s not a heat wave, it’s a cold wave threatening to wipe out humankind. If not a drought, a flash flood will suffice as the latest portent of doom. If it’s not the polar bears going extinct, it’s the penguins.As always, the emergency – and the panic — seems largely confined to Democrats and the non-working classes, but I repeat myself.This week, it’s just not Hurricane Lee threatening all life on earth. Another existential crisis looms for the Tattoo-American community.I refer of course to the end of the three-years-plus “moratorium” on paying back student-loan debt. The deadbeats haven’t had to make repayments for more than three years, and haven’t been accruing interest on their debt, but now the end is near.Literally. The… end… is… near.Just ask them.According to the Wall Street Journal, there i...

The carry on the ball, he always makes sure his shoulders are square. He’s good… He has a very good feel about what he can do there.”Rafaela is already considered an elite d...
