Pattern change brings nice weather

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 09:47:20 GMT

After several weeks of being stuck in an active pattern, a dry pattern is expected to move in for the next several days. The jet stream is expected to retreat north and remain in “zonal flow” (west to east) which will allow for some calmer, drier days ahead. Sunday’s forecast is one of the nicest days of the week, with sunshine expected, lower humidity, and highs in the upper 70s to mid 80s!We remain dry through Monday, but an isolated storm or two is possible on Tuesday as a quick-moving system passes by.After Tuesday, it’s right back to the dry pattern, but the heat builds in as a strong high pressure system makes its way north and east from the Southern Plains.

Chris Sale talks teammates, trade deadline, top prospects

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 09:47:20 GMT

At this point, Chris Sale is as used to watching the Red Sox from the sidelines as any fan who’s followed the team over the last four years.Tommy John surgery, several fractures, and now, shoulder inflammation, have cost him more than two full seasons of his career. Since mid-August 2019, when he landed on the injured list for what turned out to be the rest of the season, he’s only made 22 regular-season starts totaling 107 ⅓ innings. He missed all of ’20 after undergoing Tommy John in April of that year, and didn’t return until August ’21 nearly two years to the day of his last start in ’19. A rib stress fracture pushed his ’22 season debut back to mid-July, when, in the first inning of his second start, a line drive fractured his pinky. While he recovered from that injury and subsequent surgery, he fractured his wrist. That required a second surgery and ended his season after just 5 2/3 innings.This year, the lefty made it through his firs...
