From summerlike warmth to possible snowfall in a few days.Sounds just like New England.After temps soared to record-highs in the 80s on Saturday, a major cool down is coming to the region over the next few days.The National Weather Service forecast shows that in parts of Massachusetts, temps may be cold enough for the area’s first chance of light snow of the season on Wednesday and Wednesday night.It appears that there could be some snowfall across the higher elevations of central and western Massachusetts.“There is only a 10-30 percent chance of snowfall over an inch,” the National Weather Service’s forecast discussion reads. “Given the time of year and the anticipated strength of the lift, snow would be most likely during the nighttime hours, especially towards the Berkshires. As previously mentioned, it is still way too early to pinpoint snowfall totals and timing for specific locations.”Ahead of the cool down coming, people got to enjoy some u...Rangers bring 1-0 lead into World Series Game 2 against Diamondbacks

His body was found Friday at a recycling center in nearby Lisbon. Released from lockdown, many residents headed outside to enjoy a warm autumn day.“We can now begin to pick up the pieces, begin the grieving process,” said Jim Howaniec, a Lewiston native who served as mayor in the early 1990s. “We were sort of in limbo there for 48 hours, which really isn’t that long of a time, but of course it seemed like 48 years while it was going on.”Melissa Brown said sheltering in place reminded her of living in Washington, D.C., when snipers killed 10 people over a three-wee...WGN-TV presents ‘Stories of Hope: Facing Breast Cancer’
