The 00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:41.920 nearshore gooey at Cape Cod Bay reads 54 degrees 00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:46.140 for the water temperature. Looking ahead in the 00:01:46.140 --> 00:01:50.060 weather.

In local news, Massachusetts 00:02:53.020 --> 00:02:55.960 is moving forward with a 50 -year coastal climate 00:02:55.960 --> 00:03:00.180 plan as federal support diminishes. Increased 00:03:00.180 --> 00:03:03.659 storm surges, flooding, and erosion pose significant 00:03:03.659 --> 00:03:07.159 challenges for the state's 78 coastal communities. 00:03:08.460 --> 00:03:11.000 The plan, known as the Resilient Coasts Initiative, 00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:13.919 was announced in Chelsea during King Tides, which 00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:17.560 are known for causing coastal flooding. Massachusetts 00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:20.180 Secretary for Energy and Environment Rebecca 00:03:20.180 --> 00:03:22.860 Tepper emphasized the importance of protecting 00:03:22.860 --> 00:03:26.800 vulnerable communities. Local leaders, including 00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:30.180 State Senator Sal Dey Domenico, noted the federal 00:03:30.180 --> 00:03:32.800 government's withdrawal of crucial funding for 00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:36.219 resilience projects. Experts stressed the need 00:03:36.219 --> 00:03:39.419 for collaboration and funding to address immediate 00:03:39.419 --> 00:03:41.860 community needs while planning for the future. 00:03:46.699 --> 00:03:52.000 Now on to sports. NHL officials are set to inspect 00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:55.419 Milan's Olympic Hockey Arena next week amid ongoing 00:03:55.419 --> 00:03:59.060 concerns about construction progress. Deputy 00:03:59.060 --> 00:04:01.900 Commissioner Bill Daley expressed, it continues 00:04:01.900 --> 00:04:04.759 to be concerning following a meeting with general 00:04:04.759 --> 00:04:09.139 managers. Derek King and Di Matsuzaki will assess 00:04:09.139 --> 00:04:12.620 the situation as the Olympics are just 90 days 00:04:12.620 --> 00:04:16.620 away. Daily noted the lead receives weekly updates 00:04:16.620 --> 00:04:21.180 but requires first -hand observations. The International 00:04:21.180 --> 00:04:24.319 Olympic Committee confirmed the arena is scheduled 00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:27.180 for completion mid -December, with a new event 00:04:27.180 --> 00:04:31.660 planned for early January. In other news, NHL 00:04:31.660 --> 00:04:34.920 executives discussed roster reveal dates and 00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:39.480 pre -season lineup regulations. In local sports, 00:04:40.660 --> 00:04:44.339 Tyrese Maxey scored 21 points, And Kelly Oberjr 00:04:44.339 --> 00:04:47.319 made the go -ahead basket on a follow with 8 00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:51.540 .7 seconds left, leading the Philadelphia 76ers 00:04:51.540 --> 00:04:56.060 to a 102 -100 win over the Boston Celtics on 00:04:56.060 --> 00:04:59.560 Tuesday night. Justin Edwards had a team -high 00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:03.379 22 points for the 76ers, who played without Joel 00:05:03.379 --> 00:05:07.040 Embiid due to right knee soreness. Jalen Brown 00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:11.079 hasted the Celtics with 24 points. Philadelphia 00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:13.920 coach Nick Nurse stated that tests revealed no 00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:16.379 structural issues with Embiid's knee, and he 00:05:16.379 --> 00:05:19.839 is day -to -day. The Celtics will host Memphis 00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:25.600 on Wednesday night. In top news, the upcoming 00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:29.040 weather forecast is chilly with a chance of falling 00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:33.079 iguanas. Due to a potentially record -smashing 00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:36.420 cold snap, iguanas could fall from trees in parts 00:05:36.420 --> 00:05:40.259 of Florida. Temperatures in South Florida may 00:05:40.259 --> 00:05:43.939 dip into the high 30s this week. The Florida 00:05:43.939 --> 00:05:46.579 Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission states 00:05:46.579 --> 00:05:49.959 that iguanas become sluggish below 50 degrees. 00:05:51.019 --> 00:05:53.660 When temperatures drop into the 30s and 40s, 00:05:53.819 --> 00:05:58.120 they can freeze, lose their grip, and fall. National 00:05:58.120 --> 00:06:00.519 Weather Service stations have issued falling 00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:04.000 iguana advisories. reminding residents that these 00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:06.959 lizards are usually temporarily immobilized, 00:06:07.120 --> 00:06:11.360 not dead. As temperatures warm, the iguanas will 00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:16.180 unthaw and be able to move again. In business 00:06:16.180 --> 00:06:20.459 news, Visa Incorporated and MasterCard Incorporated 00:06:20.459 --> 00:06:23.000 have reached a new settlement agreement with 00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:26.139 a group of merchants, potentially impacting credit 00:06:26.139 --> 00:06:29.829 card rewards for consumers. The proposed settlement 00:06:29.829 --> 00:06:32.050 would allow stores to limit their acceptance 00:06:32.050 --> 00:06:35.189 of rewards cards, which typically incur higher 00:06:35.189 --> 00:06:38.870 fees. Merchants could choose to accept all cards 00:06:38.870 --> 00:06:42.170 or just specific categories, including commercial, 00:06:42.629 --> 00:06:45.230 premium consumer credit, and standard credit 00:06:45.230 --> 00:06:48.889 cards. This flexibility could lead to merchants 00:06:48.889 --> 00:06:52.670 blocking premium cards to reduce costs. While 00:06:52.670 --> 00:06:55.870 analysts suggest this may upset affluent consumers, 00:06:56.120 --> 00:06:58.939 It could also provide merchants with significant 00:06:58.939 --> 00:07:02.439 relief. The settlement is pending court approval, 00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:06.540 aiming to resolve a decades -long lawsuit. In 00:07:06.540 --> 00:07:10.800 crypto movement, Bitcoin is down 3 % to about 00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:17.300 $103 ,000. Ethereum is down 4 % to just over 00:07:17.300 --> 00:07:26.129 $3 ,400. And XRP is down 5 % to $2 .39. Moving 00:07:26.129 --> 00:07:30.430 on to a more local vibe. In our community spotlight 00:07:30.430 --> 00:07:33.350 on health and wellness, we are working with a 00:07:33.350 --> 00:07:36.189 national Pilates studio to bring you some free 00:07:36.189 --> 00:07:40.490 classes, so listen up.

And now, 00:08:11.470 --> 00:08:16.329 back to the show. Let's talk tech. Boocal is 00:08:16.329 --> 00:08:19.829 warning its 2 .5 billion Gmail users to enhance 00:08:19.829 --> 00:08:23.100 their security. While there are claims of a breach, 00:08:23.420 --> 00:08:26.620 the real advice is to stop using passwords altogether. 00:08:27.660 --> 00:08:29.839 The issue stems from a breach at Salesforce, 00:08:30.360 --> 00:08:33.019 where attackers accessed business -related Gmail 00:08:33.019 --> 00:08:37.500 data, not actual credentials. With this data, 00:08:37.980 --> 00:08:40.240 phishing attacks have become more sophisticated. 00:08:41.580 --> 00:08:44.259 Hookle emphasizes that users should never share 00:08:44.259 --> 00:08:47.080 their passwords, even with trusted individuals. 00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:50.940 Instead, users are encouraged to switch to pass 00:08:50.940 --> 00:08:53.820 keys or two -factor authentication for better 00:08:53.820 --> 00:08:58.059 security. Stain Vigilant is key, as breaches 00:08:58.059 --> 00:09:04.559 can compromise accounts indirectly. And in entertainment 00:09:04.559 --> 00:09:09.519 news, DC Studios is tapping the creators of American 00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:12.559 Vandal for a new television spinoff featuring 00:09:12.559 --> 00:09:16.779 Jimmy Olsen. The show will be led by Skyler Gesondo, 00:09:17.049 --> 00:09:19.950 who reprises his role as Daily Planet photographer 00:09:19.950 --> 00:09:23.029 Jimmy Olsen with the first season focusing on 00:09:23.029 --> 00:09:27.129 Gorilla Grodd. Dan Peralt and Tony Jacenda will 00:09:27.129 --> 00:09:30.429 write, executive produce, and show on this Superman 00:09:30.429 --> 00:09:33.830 movie spinoff. The series will center on Olsen 00:09:33.830 --> 00:09:37.049 and other Daily Planet reporters tackling cases 00:09:37.049 --> 00:09:41.149 involving super -powered villains. Gorilla Grodd, 00:09:41.490 --> 00:09:44.769 a super -intelligent evil ape, is a key antagonist 00:09:44.769 --> 00:09:48.860 for The Flash. first appearing in comics in 1959. 00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:52.559 Ben and Peter Safran will executive produce, 00:09:53.019 --> 00:09:57.779 while Galin Vazman oversees for DC. Well, all 00:09:57.779 --> 00:10:00.460 righty folks, it's time for the quote of the 00:10:00.460 --> 00:10:04.580 day. And today, our quote comes from the American 00:10:04.580 --> 00:10:08.100 author and motivational speaker, Zig Ziglar. 00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:12.559 And he said, courage is not the absence of fear, 00:10:12.840 --> 00:10:17.259 but the triumph over it. And that's a wrap for 00:10:17.259 --> 00:10:20.220 this morning. You can check out our Instagram, 00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:24.220 YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial 00:10:24.220 --> 00:10:27.360 videos with local news and the weather reports. 00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:31.340 Have an amazing day, my good friends. We'll see 00:10:31.340 --> 00:10:34.440 you tomorrow with another episode of Sunny Mornings 00:10:34.440 --> 00:10:34.940 in Boston.
