BOSTON — Dangerous heat is expected to continue for the Boston area into the weekend, as the heat emergency declared by Mayor Marty Walsh earlier in the week remains in effect.
Highs on Friday are expected to get up into the mid- to upper 90s, but with high humidity it will feel like more than 100 degrees F, said AccuWeather.com Senior Meteorologist Tom Kines. Occasional showers and thunderstorms will spark in the evening, bringing some much-needed rain to the area, but posing some risks as well.
The terrorist group that President Barack Obama famously referred to as the "JV team" may be gaining ground in Canada and Mexico. On Wednesday an Islamic State sympathizer blew himself up in Ontario during an encounter with police, and another man arrested in Ohio reportedly told federal investigators the "Islamic state has brothers in Mexico."
According to multiple media reports, 24-year-old Canadian citizen Aaron Driver's plans to detonate a bomb in an urban area were disrupted when the FBI shared intelligence with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. The tip led police to Driver's hometown of Strathroy, Ont., located about halfway between Detroit and Toronto.
