Another sea breeze day is upon us across New England and our temperatures range from the 40s to 80s all over! 

Eastern Massachusetts has a continued easterly breeze carrying in more fog and cold temps. While outside of 495 we have summer like heat and sunshine breaking through the clouds. 

The sea breeze actually keeps most of southeastern New England quiet as storms develop along a frontal boundary this evening. Between 4-10 p.m., some severe thunderstorms pop up across northern New York, Vermont and even some of northwestern Massachusetts. 

The largest chance for severe storms will be in New York to Vermont, isolated severe in New Hampshire and northwestern Massachusetts. 

Then the storms fizzle or completely dissipate before reaching Boston late tonight. The South Coast, Cape Cod and the islands will remain dry until some predawn showers Friday. 

Scattered rain and storms remain for all on Friday as temps reach the 60s to low 70s, even to the coast. Saturday, an east breeze carries far inland so everyone cools to the 50s to 60. Sunday, scattered showers and temps go from the 60s before dropping significantly for Marathon Monday. Lows in Hopkinton start in the mid 30s with patchy frost and a gusty west wind. Temps through the race and as runners cross the finish line in Boston, in the 40s. 

Discussion surrounding the removal of parking minimums for new development in Boston cropped up again at City Council on Wednesday.

District 8 Councilor Sharon Durkan is proposing a change to the city code which would take away parking mandates from the 1950s with the goal of encouraging developers to build the number of parking spaces needed for a project instead of meeting the required city number.

Several councilors spoke in support of the idea at Wednesday’s meeting including At-Large Councilor Henry Santana and City Council President Liz Breadon.

During the meeting, Durkan also sought to clamp down on concern that this could create other issues on Boston city streets.

“Getting rid of these mandates does not eliminate or ban parking, it simply will replace arbitrary minimum requirements with flexibility,” said Durkan.

Speaking outside the chamber, Durkan expanded on the idea and cited a MAPC report that suggests much of Boston’s residential parking isn’t being used overnight.

“What we’re finding out is that over a third of parking sits empty from these residential, new residential developments overnight. So we’re building more parking than we need. The city doesn’t know the right mix here and we should let the market decide,” said Durkan.

The proposal has been sent to the Committee on Planning, Development and Transportation.

BOSTON (WHDH) – An East Boston man was arrested on April 4 and is accused of selling fake sports tickets.

Robert Cheevers, 57, was investigated after Leicester police received several complaints that he had stolen money from several people, offering fraudulent tickets to sporting events at a cheaper price.

Leicester police say Cheevers was also arrested on an outstanding warrant from Newburyport District for the same offense, and a warrant out of Clark County, Nevada for Burglary, Felony Theft, and Insufficient Funds.
