Colder Air, Snow For Some

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:06:08 GMT

After temps drifted up into the upper 40s to lower 50s yesterday, some chillier air starts to settle back in today. Despite temps starting off in the 30s this morning, there’s not a lot of upward movement to those numbers are highs max out near 40 midday and drift back downs into the mid 30s by late afternoon. Mostly cloudy skies prevail this afternoon as a few spotty showers pass through the Cape and Islands. Elsewhere, most of us stay dry. As temps dip down below freezing tonight, scattered snow showers start to develop near Cape Ann and Plymouth County.

In these locations, a coating to a couple inches of snow is likely. If your area picks up near 2″ of snow in heavier bursts, expect some reductions in visibility.

SALISBURY, Md. (AP) — Three times a week, on average, a police car pulls up to a school in Wicomico County on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. A student is brought out, handcuffed and placed inside for transport to a hospital emergency room for a psychiatric evaluation.Over the past eight years, the process has been used at least 750 times on students. Some are as young as 5 years old.The state law that allows for these removals, known as petitions for emergency evaluation, is meant to be limited to people with severe mental illness, who are endangering their own lives or safety or someone else’s. It’s the first step toward getting someone involuntarily committed to a psychiatric hospital.A view of Wicomico Middle School appears Tuesday, August 1, 2023, in Salisbury, Md.
