Sunny and mild today, then snow wraps up the weekend tomorrow

If you enjoyed yesterday’s sunny, mild weather, you’re going to love what’s in store for today. In fact, we’re tracking even more sunshine and high temperatures in the mid to upper 40s. Highs MetroWest will likely reach the low 50s! And with weather like this, the snow melt will continue. But all good things must come to an end. We’re tracking big changes, starting on Sunday.Boston snow SundaySunday is a First Alert day. A cold front will bring a period of light accumulating snow to our area Sunday morning through the early afternoon. This is not a major storm, and we’re not expecting major impacts. Still, some of us here in Boston and the Greater Boston area could see a coating up to 1 inch of snow.Areas generally west of the I-495 corridor toward central Massachusetts could see between 1 and 3 inches of snow here and there. This could make travel a little messy at times on Sunday, but we don’t believe this will be a crippling event for our area at this time. Much of the snow will likely push east by Sunday evening. We’ll let you know if conditions change. High temperatures will rise into the mid 30s Sunday. But by Sunday night, arctic air from the north will send our temperatures way down into the single digits and teens into Monday morning.Bitter cold returns before more snow and rainWe’ll start our Monday will bitter cold weather. High temperatures will only reach the mid 20s. Temperatures will rebound to near 40 on Tuesday and in the mid 40s by Wednesday. Just as our temperatures are beginning to warm up, another winter system is expected to bring a period of rain and snow to Greater Boston. In fact, the precipitation will likely start as snow Tuesday evening, then transition to rain into Wednesday. It’s a bit too early to tell how much snow we could see. So, check back in with your NBC 10 Boston First Alert Weather Team for updates.A much more significant warmup is possible late next week into the weekend.

Dynamical freezing can protect quantum information for near-cosmic timescales

Preserving quantum information is key to developing useful quantum computing systems. But interacting quantum systems are chaotic and follow laws of thermodynamics, eventually leading to information loss. Physicists have long known of a strange exception, called dynamical freezing, when quantum systems shaken at precisely tuned frequencies evade these laws. But how long can this phenomenon postpone thermodynamics?

How immune cells spot viral RNA fast: LGP2 helps MDA5 respond to short dsRNA

A study reveals how two proteins cooperate in a key early step of antiviral detection, as reported by researchers at Science Tokyo. Using cryo-electron microscopy and high-speed atomic force microscopy, they found that LGP2 binds to viral RNA and recruits MDA5 molecules, as if threading beads on a string. This creates a scaffold that facilitates the formation of a large signaling complex, which ultimately triggers an innate immune response.

For nearly two decades, two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors have been studied as a complement or possible successor to silicon transistors, promising smaller, faster and more energy-efficient processors. To ease their production and testing process, much of the field has been benchmarking the potential of 2D semiconductors using an architecture that causes a phenomenon called "contact gating."

Cellular switch casts light on why humans are active in the day

Early mammalian ancestors were nocturnal, sleeping during the day while the dinosaurs dominated the land. However, some mammalian lineages, including human ancestors, independently transitioned to diurnality (active during the day). Scientists have now discovered why humans are not nocturnal. A new study published in Science reveals that the answer is in the genes.

Jack Smith's Secret Orders Targeting Patel And Wiles Should Alarm Us All

Jack Smith's Secret Orders Targeting Patel And Wiles Should Alarm Us All

Jack Smith's Secret Orders Targeting Patel And Wiles Should Alarm Us All Authored by Jonathan Turley,Former Special Counsel Jack Smith has long operated under Oscar Wilde’s rule that “the only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it.” Over the last few months, the public has learned of a wide array of secret orders targeting members of Congress, Trump allies, and others.Now, the Administration has learned that FBI Director Kash Patel and White House Susie Wiles were also targeted by Smith in 2022 and 2023 when they were private citizens.Smith was a controversial choice as Special Counsel because of his history of excessive legal arguments and tactics, including his unanimous loss before the Supreme Court in tossing out the conviction of former Virginia Governor Robert McDonnell.His tendency to stretch the law to the breaking point also did not play well with juries in high-profile cases, as in his case against John Edwards, which ended in acquittal.Despite such criticisms, Smith immediately returned to his past pattern of tossing aside any restraint or caution. Even Democrats this year expressed objections to his targeting of Republican members of Congress, including former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.Smith told carriers not to tell members of Congress that their calls were being seized. Not only did such records reveal potentially confidential sources, ranging from journalists to whistleblowers, but Smith’s gag order prevented Congress from responding to check the abusive demand.Now, the Administration is alleging that Smith and the prior Administration effectively buried the targeting of Patel and Wiles. It took a year into the new Administration for these orders to be uncovered.The early accounts of the orders contained equally disturbed elements. Reuters reported that “in 2023, the FBI recorded a phone call between Wiles and her attorney, according to two FBI officials. Wiles’ attorney was aware that the call was being recorded, and consented to it, but Susie Wiles was not.”It is astonishing to hear of a lawyer agreeing to the FBI recording of an attorney-client meeting as a general matter. However, to do so without informing your counsel would be a breathtaking invasion of such protected communications.There is much we still do not know.On its face, these orders appear consistent with the earlier abusive demands. Smith had virtually no basis for targeting Republican members and Trump allies. It was a fishing expedition in which Smith simply compiled lists of every well-known ally of President Trump.There are also concerns over the response to this controversy. There are reports of 10 FBI employees being fired. Agents often carry out the orders of superiors in such investigations. The Administration should assure the public that these agents were afforded due process before being ousted due to their work on orders.The recently disclosed files from these investigations are an indictment of Smith himself. He was given a historic mandate to investigate a former president. Rather than exercise a modicum of restraint to show the public that this was not a partisan effort, Smith yielded to his worst temptations in targeting a long list of Republicans.In his prior testimony, Smith offered little to justify these orders beyond a shrug that such secret orders routinely occur. However, he was targeting a “who’s who” listing of top political opponents to President Biden and the Democrats.To make matters worse, Smith struggled to release damaging information (and even schedule a trial) on the very eve of the 2024 presidential election. Every action that Smith took only magnified his agenda to influence the election. He became a prosecutor consumed by his antagonism toward Trump and his unchecked power.Nothing was sacred for Smith. His demands in the investigation from the courts included a wholesale attack on free speech values.Ultimately, these files are not only an indictment of Jack Smith but also of former Attorney General Merrick Garland, who failed to exercise his authority to oversee Smith and protect core constitutional values.It is essential that Congress and the Administration fully investigate Smith’s surveillance demands. Smith has long demanded accountability for others while evading such accountability for his own actions.If past orders are any indication, the Patel and Wiles orders were likely based on sweeping generalities and demands for absolute secrecy. That is the signature of Jack Smith. Indeed, Smith appears to have replicated his increasingly infamous record with the collapse of two high-profile cases and lingering questions over his judgment and actions.He has again yielded to his temptations, and the public has paid the price.Jonathan Turley is a law professor and the author of the New York Times bestselling “Rage and the Republic: The Unfinished Story of the American Revolution.” Tyler DurdenFri, 02/27/2026 - 09:40
