The weekend is improving, but it will be a slow process.

Lots of clouds around today. We risk a passing shower, but much of the day will be dry (and dull gray).

Glimpses – or even wholesale breaks – of sun are possible, but I don’t want to oversell any bright weather.

Highs stay in the “I’ll never complain about the heat again” range of the low 60s.

We’ll see more sunny spells tomorrow along with a steady northwest breeze. This will help us reach the mid-60s as we hold back the sea breeze for one more day.

There’s still a very small chance at a shower in the afternoon, but this is nothing to cancel plans over or throw your hands up in disgust. (OK, you’re allowed.)

Memorial Day remains the pick of the weekend, despite the fact that it may fall short of stellar beach weather. The sea breeze returns at the coast, so highs will fall just short of 70.

Away from the coast, we expect low 70s, with abundant sun for all.

Once again, we may run into a very brief, afternoon shower, predominately away from the coast.

Next week sees a return to steady highs in the 70s with occasional sea breezes at the coast. Heat stays away, humidity stays low, and the next chance for showers may hold off until Thursday.

Enjoy the holiday weekend and be safe!

Boston Red Sox star Alex Bregman left the first game of Friday’s doubleheader against the Baltimore Orioles with an apparent leg injury.

Bregman singled to left field off the Green Monster and seemed to get caught in-between whether or not he wanted to run to second. He immediately left the game.

While it’s too early to speculate on the severity, any missed time would be devastating for Boston. The 31-year-old, who was signed this past offseason, is hitting .299 with a .385 on-base percentage. In the absence of Triston Casas and the struggles of Trevor Story, he’s been a driving force in the team’s lineup, also popping 11 homers and driving in 35.

A 10-year veteran of the Houston Astros and Red Sox, Bregman is a career .273 hitter with 202 home runs. He is a two-time All-Star and a two-time World Series champion, and he is also a Gold Glover and a Silver Slugger.

Should Bregman need to miss any time, the team could elect to put Rafael Devers back at third base, however, he’s been resistant to play defense again after moving to designated hitter this offseason to accommodate Bregman.

The second game of the doubleheader will be played at 7:10 p.m. ET as Lucas Giolito takes the mound for Boston.

Boston hasn’t made the playoffs since the 2021 season, when they advanced to the American League Championship Series. They last won the World Series in 2018 when they beat the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The Red Sox are 25-26 entering play on Friday.

Futuristic technology has officially entered the historic city of Boston.

Waymo self-driving cars are driving around Boston through the end of June, gathering data on driving conditions and behaviors.

Although every Waymo car in Boston has a driver behind the wheel during this testing phase, many Bostonians are hesitant about the idea.

“I don’t think it’s the best idea. I feel like it’s kind of unsafe,” said Bella Lauzon from Arlington.

“Honestly, I think it’s crazy, cause what can you do? What if you have to brake and the car don’t brake?” said Kent Green from Malden.

Waymo has been visiting cities across the country, collecting information on a variety of areas. In Boston, that means navigating old and often confusing roadways.

“There’s a lot of one-ways, and there are very tight streets with a lot of pedestrians, so a little scary,” said Sarah Warjas from Medford.

“The streets are too small. I feel like it’s just causing more traffic — bike lanes,” added Green.

It also means learning Boston’s distinct driving culture, even during a nor’easter.

“I feel like it’s a little aggressive. You kind of have to be on your toes,” said Lauzon.

“I don’t like driving downtown to begin with, so I probably wouldn’t trust a self-driving car,” added Warjas.

Waymo is driving throughout the Boston area from Mission Hill to Cambridge, Somerville to Southie. You may also spot their cars on the Massachusetts Turnpike and Interstate 93.

The Alphabet-owned company currently operates autonomously in only four cities: Phoenix, Austin, Los Angeles and San Francisco.

“I think conceptually, I’m OK with it. I came here from California, and there was lots of self-driving cars,” said Scott William of Malden. “I’m hoping that the technology is better to the point where they’re not crashing all the time and things like that.”

Earlier this month, Waymo recalled 1,200 self-driving cars to update the software after a series of minor collisions.

Right now, there is no timeline for when a driverless rider program would be launched in Boston.
