Editor’s Note: This blog was written by 7Weather intern Tyler Hughes.A dry start to August came to an end today, and just as today’s showers are clearing out, another round of storms is heading our way for tomorrow morning. A warm front lifting into our region will bring a warmer, more humid airmass with it, the fuel for tomorrow morning’s storm chances. It also means tomorrow will be significantly muggier than it has been this past weekend.The best chance for some strong-to-severe storms will be in the early morning through the morning commute. Here’s one model’s depiction of what this could look like at around 7.The biggest threat with these storms is gusty winds and heavy rain, bringing flooding potential with it. There’s also a fair amount of “spin” in the atmosphere tomorrow morning, so we can’t rule out a chance of a tornado or two. Overall, if you get a work-from-home day, tomorrow would be a good morning commute to avoid....

Red Sox notebook: Story to return Tuesday, Sale could start Friday

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:31:40 GMT

“It’s time to go,” Trevor Story said on Monday afternoon.After a long recovery from UCL surgery, the veteran infielder will be activated on Tuesday, and finally begin his journey as Boston’s everyday shortstop.Story, who signed a 6-year, $140 million contract with the Red Sox in March 2022, has been rehabbing from internal brace surgery back in early in January. The procedure’s recovery timetable is about half that of Tommy John, but still cost the 30-year-old infielder more than two-thirds of the season.While Story originally targeted last Friday as his return date, Alex Cora announced last week that the infielder wanted to use more of his allotted rehab assignment, which doesn’t expire until Wednesday. Given his long recovery and the fact that he spent most of 2022 at second base, it’s no wonder Story wanted to utilize that time to get comfortable at his natural position before rejoining the team.“Just kind of a mini spring training,...

Tropical Storm Eugene may bring isolated storms to San Diego County “They started noticing a young boy that would hang out at the store all day,” Larson said. “They’d provide him some food, some drinks, and then as they closed down, they noticed he'd go across the street to Jack-in-the-Box.”One day in 2018, Larson and Nazario crossed paths for a conversation at the Jack-in-the-Box that the teen says changed his life. It was then that Larson learned about the boy’s situation.“I just wanted to make sure h...
