Weather Forecast: Rainy Days to be Followed by Sunny, Warmer Stretch

By |

Eastern Massachusetts is in for a classic spring rollercoaster this week, beginning with a dreary, windswept rain event on Friday and Saturday before transitioning to a prolonged stretch of dry, sunny, and increasingly warm weather. A slow-moving coastal low brings widespread rain and gusty onshore winds to end the workweek. Conditions improve gradually through the weekend, and by Sunday, high pressure takes over — ushering in sunshine and a steady warming trend. Expect highs in the 50s and 60s to start, climbing well into the 70s and even low 80s by midweek. Patience will be rewarded.

Entertainment

WEEKEND FUN: Mother’s Day Brunch, Children’s Theatre, Film on Greek Singer, Medicinal Plant Walk, Eco Fest

By |

May flowers may have been brought by April showers, but there do seem to be plenty of May showers around as well. This weekend there are fun activities to accommodate both flowers and rain. You can start Friday evening with a unique film about a famous Greek musician, Stelios Kazantzidis at the Majestic 7. There is a Watertown Children’s Theater production of Hadestown with their high school aged actors on the weekend evenings or Saturday and Sunday matinees. On Saturday there is the first Watertown Eco Fest at the Commander’s Mansion that will be educational and fun.

LETTER: Demolition Delay Ordinance Needs Revising

By |

Dear Editor,

I write to express my dismay at some of the testimony at last night’s Committee on Economic Development and Planning. Council President Sideris was correct to bring this to the committee.  This ordinance needs extensive re-writing to remove substantial subjectivity and clarify scope.
