in to boston, southwest, back towards worcester too. boston for the amount of rain we've seen this month so far, we saw over 2/10 yesterday, but we are well below the average for the year e. we are 7 inches below closing in on 8, and in worcester, even though they've pick up over an inch so far this month, they still are in a very large deficit, so we are going to be dealing with extreme conditions, but there is some good news, and that's th our chances of showers over the next couple of days. we've had a very dry summer. now, the chances are pretty low today and we've seen isolated showers, but they're going to increase tomorrow and then continue as we head into the weekend as the cold front will be pushing on through, and that will spark some showers, some storms, and perhaps even some very heavy couples. the reason why, is because our humidity is so high, we've got so much moisture to work with, we're dealing with dewpoints in the oppressive range. that's going to continue from

front comes on through, so that's why heavy downpours could be a good 1-2-3 for some -- good thing for some of us in that severe and extreme drought. no showers in boston, we have clouds out there. it's currently 94 degrees. the high today was 96. but look at the dewpoints, in the lower 70's. feeling very tropical, with that wind out of the southwest. so when you combine the heat and the humidity, you get your feels-like conditions. we talked about this in the winter when it's the windchill. in the summer, we call it the heat index and preparing your body for and drinking plenty of water when your heat index is close to 100. it's over 100 in boston, as well as norwood and lawrence, so very oppressive conditions out there. that's why we have the heat advisory that continues until 7:00 p.m., and it's for the majority of central and eastern parts of the state. but it's still going to feel very hot, even after 7:00 p.m., so take precautions if you do have plans outdoors. in our opinion, with the heat and humidity -- now with the heat and humidity bidding on up,

connecticut, as well as near spring field, but we have a severe thunderstorm warning still in place, this system, this storm has been parked over manchester, connecticut, pushing east ward, very slowly, producing heavy rain over two inches of rain has fallen in that area. somebody was actually struck by lightning, lots of lightning, over 1,000 strikes in a 15-minute period, so we'll continue to monitor that system. otherwise, it is pretty dry for the rest of the region, just feeling pretty oppressive. diminishing overnight as temperatures stay mild. looking at patchy fog to form, indications there could be a scattered shower early in the morning. shiri spear will be here tracking any of the showers, but really what we'll be watching is as we get through the day on friday, the clouds will bubble up, the heat comes back with us. temperatures soaring into the 90's and by the afternoon, risk of showers and thunderstorms developing. a bet they are chance, but very widespread and highs once again into the upper 90's with the humidity feeling like 100, so

place for tomorrow, starting at 11:00 a.m., going till 7:00 p.m., and then the heat continues into saturday with more showers moving on in and by sunday, we could see some of the steadiest rain overnight into monday and that should bring a break from the heat, as well as drop the humidity by tuesday. over to you. >> blair: president obama once get hitting the links today while on his vacation at martha's vineyard. he tee'd off today with yesterday's playing partners, ray allen and alonzo mourning swell attorney cy walker. on the one day the president did not play went to a private beach. >> it struggles in the snow and extreme cold. but what about the heat. what the mbta is doing right now to keep riders cool and keep the trains on track during this hot stretch. >> blair: but first, as dangerous as heroin or lsd, the important decision handed down today by the obama administration and why it could

high potential for abuse and there's no accepted scientific proof for medical use. >> marijuana is so much more dangerous than it used to be. this is not your woodstock weed. this is much stronger. >> the reporter: the decision keeps the federal government at odds with more than half the states that have legalized the drug for either medicinal or recreational use. those states will continue to defy federal rules. the dea also announced plans to make it easier for researchers to study potential medical benefits of marijuana. it will expand the number of places that can legally grow currently, only scientists at the university of mississippi are allowed to grow pot for research. >> in some cases, it means researchers are waiting years to get their hands on the certain types of marijuana that they need. and sometimes, they can't even get it ever. right. here's not enough diversity. it's unclear how many more facilities will be allowed to grow marijuana for researchers under the new rules. >> vanessa: research has shown that components of marijuana have promised as a treatment for epilepsy and chronic pain.

atlantic standard time to a state senator keenan. keenan submit it had on his behalf. >> the public health literature indicates that when we spring forward in march, we have more heart attacks, more car accidents, more accidents at work, because we're giving millions of people jet lag all at the same time. >> the reporter: so he wants to settle on one time, all the time, setting up a commission to at least study the idea is now law, signed by the governor at bill. >> this was particularly important, for some folks in the senate that there be a legislative committee put together to study it, and in deference to the senate's interest in doing that, we signed that, but my view is, the current structure we have is fine. >> the reporter: but governor baker isn't exactly in love with the idea. >> i especially worry that if head too far down this road, we can head up creating a lot of problems for ourselves with respects to all sorts of issues around work schedules, commuting

>> the reporter: the children. >> the children get extremely confused. i have self-defense grandchildren and it's about a week to ten days of getting their sleep patterns going the right way again. >> i think it's a great idea, yeah. >> i think it's not going to be a good idea. >> the reporter: the senator would like to get all of new england on board, but this is the first step. >> i believe we're so east of the eastern time zone, we actually belong in atlantic time. >> the reporter: the first meeting of the 12-member commission will happen in october. a report is due out in marchof governor's approval, final say rests with the u.s. department of transportation. in quincy, sharman sachetti, fox 25 news. >> blair: so we want to know what you think about this. should massachusetts do away with daylight savings time? log on to our facebook page, fox 25 and let us know. so far most people by the way are saying yes. >> sarah: tracking heat and humidity for the day today.

over 100. that's why we had that heat advisory that went in to effect at noon, still goes till about 7:00 p.m. and it was for this area shaded in this orange color here, away from the south coast, the cape where temperatures were cooler, thanks to that influence of that southerly wind over the water. but that heat index, although it expires, heat advisory expires at 7:00 p.m., it's still extremely hot out there. this is the current heat index, the combination of temperatures, as well as humidity, making it feel like -- f lawrence, as well as norwood. feels like 102 in boston rights now. so oppressive out there, the air is very thick with those dewpoints in the 70's and the temperature in boston, still at 94 at this hour with that wind out of the southwest. so we're going to hold on to the humidity, staying pretty high in the oppressive range. at least through sunday. and with that, we're also going to be dealing with a very hot conditions, and our chances of rain will actually be increasing as a cold front will be pushing southward. so today, it was a very slight

tomorrow will be more scattered and then saturday and sunday, looks to see some more widespread, perhaps even heavy rainfall, because there is so much moisture to work with in the air, and speaking of that, the one isolated storm that i've been tracking for the last three hours down in connecticut, where they pick up three inches of rain, because of so much moisture out there. there's still a severe thunderstorm warning in place, for places like marlboro, as well as manchester and a flash about 8:15 p.m. otherwise, you take a look at what else is out there, and not much. sure, we had a few sprinkles that passed on through foxborough, there is some showers pushing on through parts of rhode island, but it's really been not moving too much from the hartford area. taking you through time, best chances of any shower or a storm through the evening, south of the pike, where temperatures and dewpoints are a little bit higher, the dewpoints in the 70's. but most activity will actually

out a rogue shower or rumble of thunder through the overnight hours, but a lot of us will see clouds, break and areas of fog as temperatures and dewpoints will become quite similar. we'll hold on to the humidity that will be trapped just south of this front, that will eventually push southward, and provide those showers and storms i was talking about. the increased chances of rain. so tabling you through time, this is 7 -- taking you through time, this is 7:00 p.m. tomorrow morning. you have clouds, sunshine, fog out there. by the afternoon, some of the clouds will begin to bubble be across central and northern new england, with the possibility of some strong to even severe storms, but even in our area, we could see some isolated to widely scattered showers and storms develop, and continue through the evening hours. so make sure you want to check your weather app and of course, see where some of those storms will be forming, and if the skies do look threatening, you want to head indoors. perhaps heading indoors is probably your best bet anyways, because the heat and the humidity is going to be oppressive.

southward and we'll see more chances of the showers and storms. overnight tonight, this is the temperatures. it is going to be brutally muggy. temperatures in the 70's and tomorrow, we're back in to the 90's, coolest for the cape and islands, with that wind off of the water. it's going to feel like it's going to be close to 100 once again, especially by the afternoon. these are your feels-like temperatures right around 1:30 p.m., feeling over 100 degrees, so that heat and humidity will continue, so we have a heat advisory that goes into place 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. hot conditions through your saturday, with that humidity still in check. risk of showers and storms, a little bit more widespread as we head in to sunday in to monday as that front sags southward and that may dry us out, back to this time of year. less humid conditions. back over tough. >> tom leyden coming to you live from gillette stadium. preseason game number one, almost set to kickoff. we're over 35 minutes away.

excused by the patriots. jimmy garoppolo will get the majority of the snaps. he'll turn it over to jacoby purcette eventually, but all focused on jimmy g as he gets this first opportunity. >> different feel and everything. you get the butterflies in your stomach. it's awesome. football is back. it's been back for 10, 11 days, but practice, we get to go out there and play tomorrow night. >> the reporter: understandable that a lot of attention will be on the quarterback position, but this is a big deal for a number of people organization, rookies trying to make their first impression. chris long is one. guys who came over from the rams and is trying to get things started off on the right foot. >> it's always good to get out there in a live situation. you can only simulate so much of it in a practice, whether it be a joint practice or, you know, a full-on practice with your own team. getting out there, in a game situation, it's hard to replicate that, so it's big for everybody. >> you know, if you're like me,

right around 11:30 p.m. last night when you saw david ortiz foul that ball off of his right shin. luckily, there is good news and we didn't think there would be good news when we first saw this. it was a very stunning visual, but david ortiz is in tonight's lineup as the red sox host the yankees and he spoke before the game about exactly how he feels. >> i just thankful we're going. you know, i mean, the more games you play, the more your body works, but that ain't on my mind right no my mind is just, keep 'em rolling. >> a lot of channel flipping tonight. some people watching the patriots and the red sox as they host the yankees. a-rod's final game at fenway. earlier today was in chestnut hill. boston college held media day. it got a little heated. during the opening media session, the team ran a play, the guy started pushing and shoving. he asked me, i love this stuff, there's intensity, that's what this team needs and it comes
