Published Thu, 21 Nov 2024 21:59:36 GMT

Well today was a bit of a clunker with rain, clouds, drizzle, and cool temperatures. The steady and heavy rain did clear out around midday but still left overcast skies and cool temperatures behind. I looked to see what today would be for coolest day since… but the problem is our high temperature was actually 75° which makes that stat less impressive. Rainfall amounts from this morning varied from a quarter-inch to almost a full inch.We’re not done with this storm system yet. It’s stretched out and goes all the way to Detroit. Now that said, we are done with the steady and heavy rain. While we have spotty showers back tomorrow, they’re nowhere near what it was this morning.Regardless, that moisture still has to slide through New England, so some of us will deal with more showers for tomorrow morning’s commute. It won’t be as bad, or as slow, as today. The showers will be very spotty, but they’ll be out there tonight and tomorrow morning espe...

Two departments at Brockton Hospital are back open for business roughly six months after a fire forced the entire hospital to close back in February, a hospital official confirmed Monday. Signature Healthcare Associate Vice President of Marketing and Communications Lorraine McGrath in a statement said the hospital’s wound and infusion departments are open for scheduled procedures in the Brockton Hospital building. Emergency crews responded on Feb. 7 after an electrical fire broke out inside the hospital. The response grew to 10 alarms and all patients and staff were ultimately forced to evacuate. Most Brockton Hospital departments were moved to other locations while repairs are made at the hospital. While the wound and infusion departments have reopened, there were still no emergency services at Brockton Hospital as of Tuesday.
