The reporter theyre producing way better than we anticipated. From our own grapes. Vanessa well, because of the drought, there will be fewer grapes, but thats good news, with fewer grapes, each one will have more sugar, which drastically improves the quality of wine. Sarah benefits to the drought. Innings i didnt know. Speaking of rain, we had some showers today, that helps improve our severe drought conditions, and then we had a few showers develop in the evening, an we got viewer picture, rate afternoon showers are the Late Afternoon showers are best, double rainbow in arlington, massachusetts. Sure enough, i just look at the camera in boston. Im so excited, because were finally seeing break in the cloud cover. The sprinkles moved on through and weve got a little bit of sunshine before the sun sets, so current temperatures, 78 in the city. The dewpoints in the 70s. It is muggy. It is a bad hair day. Its going to continue to be so as we head over the next couple of days. The winds out of the southwest that humidity and the heat, and were actually going to be talking about excessive heat conditions coming tomorrow. With humidity so high, the rain that developed today, those showers, weve produced very heavy downpours, saw thunderstorms roll on through, northern worcester county, middlesex, in boston, we pick up 2 10. Still a few scattered showers out there right now. One over the cape, one pushing off of the coast and out through worcester as well. Temperatures in the 70s and 80s. So it is m do have plans, showers will be very hit or miss, and actually begin to do to begin to diminish once that sun sets, but look what weve got. Weve got the front to the north and as the front stays to the north, its going to allow for the heat and humidity to continue to build on in and thats what were expecting for the day tomorrow. Weve got really hot conditions out to the west, and those 90degree temperatures, moving on in, combined with dewpoints in the oppressive range in the 70s, so when you get the combination of both the heat and humidity, you get what feels is going to be about 100 to 105. Thats what it will feel like during the day tomorrow. So there is a heat advisory from noon to 7 00 p. M. For this entire area shaded in this orangepink color, so this is if youre going to be traveling around this area, if youre going to be hanging out around home in this area or working outside, you need to take some precautions, head indoors, drink a. C. , drink plenty of fluids. Its not a day you want to be outside. As for the risk of rain, it will the risk of showers this evening will be diminishing by 9 30 p. M. , just a few possibly down along the south coast. We turn partly clear overnight. More clouds and fog down across the south coast, the cape and islands, where dewpoints and temperatures will be similar and waking up to tells in the 70s, so already a mild start. By noontime, were already near 90. Some of the clouds with some sunshine will begin to bubble up and we may see an isolated shower or two. I think this may be a little overdone, but best chances really building on in, but look at the temperatures. Well up in to the upper 90s for parts of the Merrimack Valley into parts of New Hampshire, so the chances of showers, really looking to be less than 20 . I think most of us will be staying dry, but were also going to be very hot and humid again. Its going to feel like its 100 degrees in some spots. That heat and humidity will continue as we head through friday into the weekend, as that front sags southward. Well have to watch for the risk. Showers and storms to continue. Better chances through the weekend and then well start to normal as we head into next week. Over to you. Blair president obama enjoying another day of golf, with some former basketball grating.

Norv crowd of thousands on hands as its patriots and saints worked out together once again, preparing for tomorrows night game at gillette stadium. The best news of the day there you go. Julian edelman, had on the helmet and cleats. He was out there for individual work. He didnt do much. Happened yesterday, how he tweets that foot. Rob gronkowski. I was breathing totally fine. I didnt even know until someone said it, like, later that night. Its always great to see a player thats been working hard all offseasons all during cam, to get back out there on the field. Rain really was an issue throughout the day. It slowed the pace of practice with two teams that dont know each other that reins, but still, a worthwhile couple of days. Heres drew bries. Thats the design of these joint practices is the opportunity for both teams to really get a ton of repetition against a new look for a lot of veteran guys that arent going to get a lot of time in this game or in the preseason, this is really our biggest preparation for the season. The reporter ok. Youre going to flip when you hear this. Steven wright is going to miss his next start because he got injured while pinch running in doublers. Wright pinch ran for david ortiz, and he was forced to dive back into second, and he jammed his shoulder. Theres no structural damage, but there is inflammation, which means that he cant throw tomorrow night. Eddie rodriguez on thursday, david price on friday, Clay Buckholtz saturday night against arizona. Tonight, the lineup has been shaken up a little bit. Dustin pedroia is going to lead off, something he has not always loved to do, Xander Bogaerts is going to move up to two spot and mookie betts is going to slide to number three, give him a chance to knock in a few runs. A shakeup at the top to create offense for the sox as they get back to yankees. Former rutgers football player, eric la grand, who was paralyzed six years ago, he spoke to both teams as they gathered on the field. Clearly his words left an impression. I have heard of his story, from seeing him on tv and stuff, but never met him in person. Pretty amazing what hes doing. Hes very, very inspirational. His goal is essentially to walk off the field at metlife. More power to him. Thats unbelievable. The reporter that picture you saw there, all six of those guys who were in that picture went to rutgers. So la grand went to rutgers, that was one of the reasons he was there.
