Will it rain again in Boston this weekend? A look at New England's unlucky weather streak.
Boston and New England have had some serious Saturday weather issues this spring, with plenty of rain falling. That might not change this weekend, but it isn't all bad news. In New England, we are trained to endure the long winter and, many times, a rough early spring with the promise of a (sunny) light at the end of the tunnel. We feel as though we "pay our dues" and once Memorial Day hits, it is time to collect. Weekend rain in New England Would you believe it if you heard that this wet Saturday spring pattern has actually been going on for three years now? If you look at meteorological spring (March-May) in Boston: In 2023 it rained on 7 of 13 Saturdays (and that was followed by rain on all 4 Saturdays in June) In 2024 it rained on 7 of 13 Saturdays In 2025 it rained on 8 of 14 Saturdays (and now 1 of 1 in June) CBS Boston Doing a little math, that equates to rain on 55% of spring Saturdays over the last three years. This year may actually be the worst of the bunch. Some rain has fallen in parts of southern New England every Saturday going back to March 22. That is 12 in a row. CBS Boston Will it rain this weekend? We have had some all-day deluges and some grey/showery days, but very few start to finish pleasant Saturdays. This leads us to the BIG question. Can we break the streak this Saturday? The short answer is no, but there are some reasons to be optimistic. The best chance of rain this Saturday is early in the day. We expect widespread showers south of the Mass Pike in the morning and a few, scattered showers to the north. CBS Boston By midday and afternoon, the rain is mostly done. There could be just a few isolated pockets of drizzle but otherwise, we dry out. If you are looking for beach weather, you're going to have to wait at least one more weekend. Temperatures both days will be stuck in the 60s, some 10-15 degrees below the average. Skies will also be mainly cloudy with some sunny breaks here and there. Heading to the Cape? More of the same. Lots of clouds, some breaks and chilly temperatures. The best chance of rain showers comes on Saturday morning. CBS Boston Red Sox and Father's Day forecast The Red Sox will be home this weekend for a big series with the Yankees. They should get all the games in, but it will feel more like April or May rather than mid-June. Last but certainly not least, Sunday is Father's Day. Any and all outdoor plans should be good to go. Whether you're golfing or grilling, it should stay dry all day. Skies will vary from partly to mostly cloudy and temperatures will generally top out in the upper 60s, albeit a tad cooler at the coastline.

Seattle's spray parks keep kids cool — and save the city money
Going to the pool or running through a backyard sprinkler is so 1993. These days, Seattle kids can cool off at nearly a dozen city-owned spray parks — no lifeguards (or garden hoses) required. The big picture: Over the past 25 years, Seattle's parks department has steadily added spray parks — also known as splash pads — around the city, partly because they're cheaper to operate than swimming or wading pools. Unlike those water features, spray parks don't require a lifeguard or attendant. Between the lines: At times in recent years, the city has converted wading pools to water-spray features to help save money, city records show. In addition to requiring less staffing, spray parks use less water than wading pools, making them more environmentally friendly, according to city documents. Catch up quick: Seattle's parks department built its first water spray feature at Miller Park on Capitol Hill in 2000, and now operates 11 across the city, parks spokesperson Rachel Schulkin told Axios. Most recently, the city opened a renovated spray park at Pratt Park in the Central District in 2022 and built a splash pad at Yesler Terrace Park in 2018. Kids have splashed in the International Fountain at Seattle Center for decades, too — although it's not a formal spray park operated by the parks department. How it works: Spray park season began on Memorial Day weekend and continues through Labor Day, with the splash pads operating from 11am to 8pm. Wading pools have more limited hours and aren't opening this year until June 21, partly on account of the parks department needing to staff them. 💭 Melissa's thought bubble: The splash pad at Lake Union Park is one of my local favorites, offering views of boats, seaplanes and the nearby Museum of History and Industry, which make the trip enjoyable for adults, too. I'm also fond of the spray park at Pratt Park, with its bright colors and playful design, and the one at Georgetown Playfield, which offers shade for us parents.

12 things you shouldn't leave in your car in the hot Georgia summer
Georgians can expect another hot summer, and extreme heat isn't just bad for you and your family, it's bad for your belongings. Temperatures inside of your vehicle can rise by 20 degrees in just 10 minutes, and cracking the windows makes no difference. So, here are some things to keep in mind: Most of Georgia can expect temperatures one or two degrees higher than the historic average, according to AccuWeather's seasonal forecast last month. The Atlanta area alone was projected to have 45 days minimum of 90 degree or warmer weather. There are quite a few things you shouldn't leave in a hot car, according to Geico and Capital Insurance Group: Food and beverages: Certain beverages can cause a mess in your car. For example, a wine cork can easily slip out or a soda can may explode in hot temperatures. Bacteria that can cause foodborne illnesses double every 20 minutes even at room temperature, according to the FDA. Don't leave groceries or leftovers in a warm car for more than two hours – or only one hour when it's over 90 degrees. Aerosol cans: Pressurized cans are highly sensitive outside of the recommended storage temperature. The contents can expand which may cause the can to crack or explode. Sunscreen: When sunscreen is left in high temperatures for too long, this can shorten its shelf life, according to the CDC. Lighters: The flammable fuel inside of a lighter can expand, breach the lighter casing when exposed to high heat and create a fire hazard. Plastic bottles: Besides a clear plastic bottle potentially magnifying the sun's rays, there is also a risk from bisphenol A or BPA. According to the National Library of Medicine, there's an increased release of BPA from plastics at higher temperatures. Batteries: Leaving batteries in high temperatures can lead to a loss of capacity but also cause a leakage or rupture. Battery acid is dangerous when inhaled and highly corrosive, according to the CDC. Electronics: Leaving your phone, headphones, computer, or another electronic device in a hot car could cause it to shut down or suffer damage. Medicine: If medications are left in high heat for an extended amount of time, the compounds in prescriptions and over-the-counter medications can be altered and lose potency. Sunglasses/glasses: Leaving sunglasses or prescription glasses in a hot car can cause the plastic to soften and warp, changing the frame's shape and fit. If metal-framed glasses are left, the heat can make them too hot to put on your face or handle. DVDs and CDs: If left in a hot car, CDs can warp and cases can melt together. Unless you really need to take your animal with you, opt to leave your pet safely at home. The American Veterinary Medical Association says to "never leave your pet alone in a parked vehicle, no matter what the outdoor temperature or how long you think you'll be gone." As stated above, cars can heat up rather quickly. Heatstroke is one of the leading non-crash vehicle-related fatalities among children, according to the NHTSA. It can occur when a child is left in a hot vehicle, which causes their body temperature to rise quickly and dangerously. A core body temperature of 107 degrees is lethal.
