A strong area of high pressure has been parked across the southeastern US all week long, bringing in a big breeze across South Florida, but some changes are ahead this weekend with a weaker wind set to return but also a higher chance for rain.At least for today and tomorrow, high pressure will remain in charge of our pattern. This will allow for mostly dry and windy conditions with gusts up to 30 mph along the coast paired with highs above average in the mid to upper 80s.Besides a quick-moving spotty shower, this period will be dry overall.Then by Sunday, an area of low pressure in the mid to upper levels of the atmosphere will approach from the east and will meader over the Bahamas.

Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas said she has “reason to believe” the multiple cases of damage to Baltic Sea critical infrastructure earlier this month are related to each other.Kallas met with Finnish Prime Minister Petteri Orpo and Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson in Brussels on Thursday, ahead of the European Council summit, to discuss the undersea infrastructure investigation.Earlier this month, the Balticconnector gas pipeline — linking NATO members Finland and Estonia — was ruptured, along with two underwater telecommunication cables, connecting Estonia to Finland and Sweden. The three incidents are likely to be related, Kallas said, though she did not publicly provide evidence for why Estonia believes the incidents are all linked.“Cooperation between the three countries in investigating cases and engaging with allies and partners has been effective and it is important that we continue to do so in the same way,” the Estonian prime minister said in an offic...

The Patriots are 2-5 because they’ve bogged down by a porous offensive line and one of the league’s least threatening receiving corps. Meanwhile the Dolphins, even after getting thumped last Sunday in Philadelphia, are cruising at 5-2 with the NFL’s most explosive weaponry.In Miami, Hill is the system, and the system is Hill. He leads the NFL in receiving with 906 yards and covers hundreds more in pre-snap motion that stretches defenses. If he retired tomorrow, Hill could safely begin to draft his speech for the Pro Football Hall of...
