  Good morning and a warm welcome to your show,
• 0:05
  Sunny Mornings in Boston. I'm your host, Melissa,
• 0:09
  and it's Thursday, September 17th. You'll be
• 0:13
  interested to know. 239 years ago today in 1787,
• 0:20
  delegates in Philadelphia signed the United States
• 0:22
  Constitution, establishing an enduring national
• 0:26
  framework for federal government with separated
• 0:28
  powers. and a system of checks to balance authority
• 0:32
  among elected branches. That compact created
• 0:35
  the living charter that still shapes American
• 0:38
  government and civic life today. So now you know.
• 0:44
  And now, it's time for the weather report. This
• 0:50
  morning, it's partly sunny and it feels like
• 0:53
  68 degrees, with two mile per hour wind. The
• 0:58
  sunset will take place at 647, and it will rise
• 1:01
  again tomorrow at 627. It looks like we're in
• 1:05
  for a mostly cloudy day with a high near 79 and
• 1:09
  a light southeast breeze, around 6 miles per
• 1:12
  hour, plus a slight chance of rain showers after
• 1:15
  5 p .m. If you're inland, it will hit a high
• 1:19
  of 80 tonight. Expect cloudy skies with a chance
• 1:24
  of rain showers, a low of 66, and a light southwest
• 1:28
  wind around 7 miles per hour. The nearshore buoy
• 1:32
  at Cape Cod Bay reads 66 degrees for the water
• 1:36
  temperature. Looking ahead in the weather. Friday
• 1:42
  will be sunny with a high near 76 and a northwest
• 1:46
  breeze around 6 to 10 miles per hour. becoming
• 1:49

• 1:54
  turns cooler and mostly sunny with a high near
• 1:56
  64, then rain showers are likely Sunday into
• 2:00
  Sunday night with highs near 64 and lows in the
• 2:03
  mid -50s. A slight chance of showers returns
• 2:07
  Monday with highs near 63 and winds near 10 miles
• 2:11
  per hour, and Monday night stays mostly cloudy
• 2:14
  with a low near 56. Bonjour, food enthusiasts.
• 2:19
  This podcast is brought to you by Versailles
• 2:22

• 2:25

• 2:44
  coffee. They are open every day from 8 to 5.
• 2:48
  So stop on by and don't forget to tell them.
• 2:52
  Sunny mornings send you. In local news, Truwerky
• 2:57
  Family Orchards in Levitt, Maine has been named
• 3:00
  the best corn maze and pumpkin patch in America
• 3:03
  by USA Today readers for five consecutive years.
• 3:07
  The farm features a four -acre maze with 60 ,000
• 3:11
  10 -foot tall corn plants. and offers guests
• 3:14
  free ice cream for solving riddles within the
• 3:16
  maze. This year's design commemorates America's
• 3:20
  250th anniversary, showcasing iconic symbols
• 3:24
  like the Statue of Liberty and the Liberty Bell.
• 3:28
  Visitors can enjoy special night events with
• 3:30
  lighted hayrides and campfires on select dates
• 3:33
  in October. Davis Mega Maze in Sterling, Massachusetts
• 3:37
  also made the top 10 list, ranking 6. Now onto
• 3:47
  sports. Tonight on Thursday Night Football, the
• 3:51
  Detroit Lions and Buffalo Bills meet at Highmark
• 3:54
  Stadium, both sitting 1 -0 in Buffalo's first
• 3:59
  regular season game at its new building. Detroit
• 4:02
  needed overtime to close out a game it once led
• 4:05
  by 21 over New Orleans. Buffalo was tighter throughout,
• 4:11
  outlasting Houston on the road, 36 -31. The match
• 4:16
  of worth watching is Detroit's patchwork offensive
• 4:19
  line against a retooled Buffalo pass rush. Guard
• 4:23
  Christian Mahogany, rookie tackle Blake Miller,
• 4:27
  and center juice scrubs all limited or held out
• 4:30
  in practice. Opposite Greg Rousseau and free
• 4:33
  agent addition Bradley Chubb, who's playing through
• 4:37
  a thumb issue. How that line holds up shapes
• 4:40
  how clean a pocket Jared Goff gets. Buffalo's
• 4:44
  health picture is minor by comparison, and Josh
• 4:47
  Allen has DJ Moore back at full strength. Nothing
• 4:51
  about seeding is decided this early. It's simply
• 4:55
  the first real measuring stick for two teams
• 4:57
  that talk themselves up all off -season in front
• 5:01
  of a crowd seeing its new stadium for the first
• 5:03
  time. In local sports, the Red Sox are reeling
• 5:08
  in Arlington. They dropped game two to the Rangers
• 5:12
  7 -3 last night, with Wilson Contreras -Homer
• 5:16
  the lone bright spot, and now trail two games
• 5:19
  to none, heading into tonight's finale. Sunny
• 5:23
  Gray gets the ball against Tyler Alexander, trying
• 5:26
  to snap a two -game skid that's left Boston 5
• 5:30
  -5 over its last 10. At 82 -70, this funk needs
• 5:35
  to end tonight, not next week. Over at Foxboro,
• 5:39
  The Patriots are waiting on word on A .J. Brown.
• 5:43
  The receiver's getting more tasks on that high
• 5:46
  ankle sprain from Wednesday's loss in Seattle.
• 5:49
  And Mike Frabel isn't sure yet if he plays Sunday
• 5:52
  against the Steelers. New England also reshuffled
• 5:55
  the practice squad this week. On the gridiron
• 5:59
  at the Heights, Bill O 'Brien's got good news.
• 6:02
  Linebacker Bodie Cahoun is progressing well after
• 6:05
  that scary stretcher exit against Rutgers. and
• 6:09
  Bo McCormack could be back as soon as this week
• 6:12
  against Maine. And Bruins camp opened at Warrior
• 6:16
  Ice Arena. Charlie McEvoy will miss the first
• 6:20
  six games on suspension, but Matthew Poitras
• 6:23
  is locked in after signing his deal Wednesday.
• 6:28
  In top news, in the final part of our three -part
• 6:32
  series, We're looking at what the approaching
• 6:34
  Kelvin wave and powerful El Nino could actually
• 6:38
  mean for Southern California. The Kelvin wave
• 6:41
  itself isn't a destructive breaking wave. The
• 6:45
  concern is what happens when other ocean and
• 6:47
  weather events are added on top of already elevated
• 6:50
  sea levels. And we just saw an example of how
• 6:54
  vulnerable the coastline can be. Large swells
• 6:57
  from Hurricane Marie caused severe erosion and
• 7:00
  coastal damage across Southern California, despite
• 7:03
  the hurricane remaining far offshore. Veaches
• 7:07
  lost significant amounts of sand, homes were
• 7:10
  damaged, and coastal flooding occurred from San
• 7:12
  Diego County through Orange County and Los Angeles.
• 7:17
  Now imagine another large swell arriving while
• 7:20
  a Kelvin wave has already elevated coastal sea
• 7:23
  levels. Looking toward winter, the combination
• 7:27
  could become even more significant. Elevated
• 7:30
  El Nino sea levels, high tides, powerful Pacific
• 7:34
  storms, and large winter surf all occurring together.
• 7:39
  Scientists stress that even a powerful El Nino
• 7:42
  doesn't guarantee Southern California will have
• 7:45
  an exceptionally rainy winter. Atmospheric conditions
• 7:49
  will ultimately determine where the biggest storms
• 7:52
  go. But the coastal threat is different. The
• 7:56
  ocean is already unusually warm, El Nino is strengthening,
• 8:00
  and some southern California beaches have already
• 8:03
  suffered significant erosion. So this fall and
• 8:07
  winter, the ocean itself may become one of California's
• 8:10
  biggest weather stories. In business news, the
• 8:16
  Federal Reserve on Wednesday delivered a much
• 8:18
  -expected interest rate hike. and Chairman Kevin
• 8:21
  Warsh stressed policymakers' commitment to tackling
• 8:24
  inflation. The Fed's quarter percentage point
• 8:28
  rate increase was unanimous, surprising many
• 8:30
  given recent, very views among policymakers.
• 8:35
  Stocks initially rose but sharply sold off after
• 8:37
  the decision, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average
• 8:40
  tumbling 631 points. The post -meeting statement
• 8:45
  was notably brief at 130 words. and Warsh's news
• 8:49
  conference lasted only 22 minutes. Warsh emphasized
• 8:54
  the independence of the Federal Reserve amid
• 8:56
  political pressures from President Donald Trump.
• 9:00
  In crypto movement, Bitcoin is unchanged at about
• 9:04
  $76 ,000. Ethereum is up half a percent to about
• 9:10
  $2 ,000. And XRP is unchanged at $1 .29. Moving
• 9:18
  on to a more local vibe. In our community spotlight

• 10:03
  back to the show. Let's talk science. The Roman
• 10:08
  Space Telescope is starting to wake up as NASA
• 10:11
  powers on its instruments for the first time.
• 10:14
  Still traveling to its final destination in space,
• 10:17
  NASA has begun switching on the spacecraft. Launched
• 10:21
  on August 30, the telescope is on a three -month
• 10:24
  journey to leg -range point 2. This location,
• 10:28
  nearly a million miles from Earth, is ideal for
• 10:31
  operating its primary instruments. Initial downlinks
• 10:35
  indicate nominal readings, as NASA teams continue
• 10:38
  commissioning. The wide -field instrument, designed
• 10:42
  to survey vast areas of the sky, will take time
• 10:45
  for calibration. Decontamination procedures will
• 10:49
  continue for 30 days, with first science images
• 10:52
  expected in early 2027. And in entertainment
• 10:59
  news, X -Men's Master of Magnetism is currently
• 11:04
  in a strange spot as the Marvel Cinematic Universe
• 11:07
  assembles its X -Men for the much anticipated
• 11:11
  first mutant movie in 2028. Surprisingly, Magneto
• 11:16
  was left out, with casting focusing on younger
• 11:19
  heroes like Jean Grey, played by Sadie Sink,
• 11:22
  and Cyclops, portrayed by Kit Conner. In the
• 11:26
  latest issue of X -Men comics, Quentin Quire
• 11:29
  clashes with Cassandra Nova, invoking Magneto's
• 11:32
  legacy. He learns to protect his kind while opposing
• 11:36
  oppressive ideals, symbolizing a passing of the
• 11:39
  torch to a new generation of heroes. X -Men number
• 11:43
  37 is now available for purchase. Well, all righty,
• 11:49
  folks. It's time for the quote of the day. And
• 11:52
  today, our quote comes from the American founding
• 11:55
  father and statesman, James Madison. And he said,
• 12:00
  the advancement and diffusion of knowledge is
• 12:03
  the only guardian of true liberty. And that's
• 12:07
  a wrap for this morning. You can check out our
• 12:10
  Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating
• 12:15
  aerial videos with local news and the weather
• 12:18
  reports. Have an amazing day, my good friends.
• 12:22
  We'll see you tomorrow with another episode of
• 12:24
  Sunny Mornings in Boston.
