1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,000 Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in Boston. 2 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:12,000 I'm your host Melissa, and it's Tuesday, September 24th. 3 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,000 You'll be interested to know. 4 00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:25,000 Thirty-three years ago, today, in 1991, the American alternative rock group Nirvana released its breakthrough album Nevermind. 5 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:33,000 This album helped make grunge an international phenomenon and gave voice to Generation X. 6 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,000 So now you know. 7 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:39,000 And now, it's time for the weather report. 8 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:48,000 It looks like we're in for some mostly cloudy skies today, with a high around 66, accompanied by a gentle northeast breeze. 9 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:56,000 Tonight, expect continued mostly cloudy conditions with a low of 57 and light winds. 10 00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:05,000 For all you beach runners out there, the first low tide Tuesday will be at 1045, with a high tide at 1130. 11 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:13,000 The nearshore buoy at Cape Cod Bay reads 64 degrees for the water temperature. 12 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,000 Looking ahead in the weather. 13 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:26,000 Expect mostly cloudy skies with a chance of rain showers on Wednesday and Thursday, highs around 67 to 70 degrees, and light winds. 14 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:34,000 Friday and Saturday will be mostly sunny, with highs near 73 and 69 degrees, and cooler nights. 15 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,000 Bonjour, food enthusiasts. 16 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:42,000 This podcast is brought to you by Versailles Café and Pastries in Encinitas. 17 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:51,000 Nestled on El Camino Real South, just north of Encinitas Boulevard, this café is a haven for culinary delights. 18 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:57,000 Indulge in their amazing Eggs Benedict or their gluten-free crepes. 19 00:01:57,000 -->

00:02:09,000 So stop on by and don't forget to tell them. 22 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,000 Sunny mornings send you. 23 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:25,000 In local news, the MBTA will receive nearly $500 million in federal funding to replace a Depression-era drawbridge over the Charles River. 24 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:29,000 This is the largest federal grant in the agency's history. 25 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:36,000 The Draw 1 bridge connects Boston and Cambridge, serving more than 11 million passengers annually. 26 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:42,000 The funding awarded by the United States Department of Transportation will facilitate the bridge replacement, 27 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:47,000 renovations at North Station, and upgrades to the train infrastructure. 28 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:58,000 Senator Elizabeth Warren called the investment a game-changer, promising a safer and more reliable public transit system, while supporting over 14,000 jobs. 29 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:04,000 Now on to sports. 30 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:10,000 Last night on Monday Night Football, we got a double-header filled with action. 31 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:21,000 The Buffalo Bills routed the Jabbors 47-10, with Josh Allen throwing four touchdown passes and leading Buffalo to a dominant victory. 32 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:27,000 The Bills defense stifled Trevor Lawrence, keeping Jacksonville winless on the season. 33 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:35,000 Meanwhile, the Washington commanders held off a late rally from the Cincinnati Bengals to win 38-33. 34 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:44,000 Washington's Jaden Daniels threw three touchdown passes, including a key late strike to Terry McLaurin that sealed the victory. 35 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:53,000 Joe Burrough's 436 passing yards weren't enough for the Bengals, as Washington's defense came up big when it mattered most. 36 00:03:53,000 --> 00:04:03,000 Both the Bills and commanders moved to 2-1 on the season, while the Jabbors remained winless, and the Bengals fall to 0-3. 37 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:11,000 Fans are already looking ahead to next week's matchups as teams continue to jockey for position early in the season. 38 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,000 In local sports. 39 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:24,000 Last night, the Sox defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 4-1, backed by a strong outing from Tanner Huck, who pitched five shutout innings. 40 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:34,000 Tristan Casas and Wilier Abreu provided key RBIs, and the Red Sox bullpen secured the win, keeping Boston's playoff hopes alive. 41 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:40,000 Tonight, the Sox continue their series against the Blue Jays at Rogers Center. 42 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:46,000 Bray and Baio will take the mound for Boston, facing Toronto's bout in Francis. 43 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:51,000 With both teams fighting for playoff positioning, this matchup is crucial. 44 00:04:51,000 --> 00:05:02,000 First pitch is set for 4.07 p.m., and the Sox will look to extend their winning streak to five games as they continue their push for a playoff spot. 45 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:17,000 In top news, a key inflation report is set to be released on Friday, with forecasters predicting the annual inflation rate will decline to 2.2% in August, down from 2.5% in July. 46 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:26,000 Price increases for goods and services have settled to pre-pandemic levels, following a surge that began in 2021. 47 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:34,000 Officials at the Federal Reserve, confident in price stabilization, have cut interest rates to support the economy. 48 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:48,000 The Bureau of Labor Statistics is expected to report a 2.3% year-over-year increase in the cost of living, reflecting a significant deceleration from the highs of June 2022. 49 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:58,000 In business news, investing wisely requires patience and discipline, traits that are essential yet challenging to maintain. 50 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:08,000 Surprisingly, the leading path to millionaire status for Americans does not rely on savvy real estate deals or early startup investments. 51 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:16,000 Instead, it is achieved through consistent and automatic contributions from paychecks into retirement accounts. 52 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:24,000 A recent report from Fidelity reveals a record number of 401k millionaires on its platform. 53 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:32,000 However, the investing landscape can be distracting, as rising markets may tempt investors to treat the stock market like a casino, 54 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:39,000 exemplified by the growing popularity of leveraged and inverse-exchange traded funds. 55 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:45,000 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just over $63,100. 56 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:49,000 Ethereum is just under $2,400. 57 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:54,000 And Solana is $144. 58 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,000 Moving on to a more local vibe. 59 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:07,000 In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio to bring you some free classes, so listen up. 60 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:12,000 Check out Club Pilates

62 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,000 Scientific research affirms its benefits. 63 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:29,000 So now you can check out Club Pilates for a free class. 64 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:39,000

00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,000 Let's talk science. 67 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:50,000 Scientists have captured Earth's climate over the last 485 million years, 68 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:57,000 revealing a history of wild shifts and far hotter temperatures than previously understood. 69 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:07,000 This ambitious effort, published in the journal Science, combines over 150,000 pieces of fossil evidence with advanced climate models. 70 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:13,000 The data shows a strong link between carbon dioxide levels and global temperatures. 71 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:19,000 At its peak, Earth's average temperature may have reached 96.8 degrees Fahrenheit. 72 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:30,000 These findings highlight the urgent challenges posed by human-induced climate change, according to researcher Emily Judd. 73 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,000 And in entertainment news. 74 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:39,000 True Detective is gearing up for its fifth season, officially titled Night Country. 75 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:47,000 The anthology series, which first captivated audiences in 2014 with Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey, 76 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:54,000 recently reignited interest after Jodie Foster won the series' first acting Emmy. 77 00:08:54,000 --> 00:09:00,000 APO's content chief, Casey Bloys, provided updates in a recent post-Emmys discussion. 78 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:07,000 Although showrunner Issa Lopez has yet to confirm if Night Country will remain in the title. 79 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:15,000 With the fourth season surpassing the original's viewership, fans are eager to see what surprises await in this new chapter. 80 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:20,000 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 81 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:27,000 And today, our quote comes from the American inventor and businessman, Thomas Edison. 82 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:32,000 And he said, our greatest weakness lies in giving up. 83 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:39,000 The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time. 84 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,000 And that's a wrap for this morning. 85 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:52,000 You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos with local news and the weather reports. 86 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:59,000 Have an amazing day, my good friends.
