Natalie Portman is expecting her third child at age 44. The actor told Harper’s Bazaar she is “very grateful” to be welcoming a child with partner Tanguy Destable, 45, a French electronic music producer known by his stage name, Tepr. “Tanguy and I are very excited,” she told the outlet. “I’m just very grateful. I know it’s such a privilege and a miracle.” The actor shares two older children, son Aleph, 14, and daughter Amalia, 9, with ex-husband Benjamin Millepied. Portman and Millepied divorced in 2024. A publicist for Portman, Keleigh Morgan, confirmed news of the pregnancy but did not give further details. Portman has spoken about how she grew up the child of a fertility doctor. “I grew up hearing about how hard it is to get pregnant,” she told Harper’s Bazaar. “I have so many people I love who’ve had such a hard time with it that I want to be respectful around that as well. It’s such a beautiful, joyous thing, and it’s also not an easy thing.” She als

Our forecast is a busy one! Between winds shifting and storms moving in – there’s a lot to go over with you! The sun heated us up fast this morning. Temperatures shot up quickly. We’ll see our first 80 degree days of the year for some in Massachusetts today. Boston likely isn’t in the 80-degree jackpot. Winds turn around, scoop up that chilly air over the Atlantic, and toss it up and down the coast. That cool breeze will cap temperatures at Logan Airport over the next few days. Still, today could be the hottest day of the year at Logan. The number to beat is 75 degrees – which was reached on March 10. We’ve activated a First Alert today as storms punch in. The action really gets going by about dinner time.Anywhere in the Berkshires, Worcester Hills, New Hampshire and Vermont is fair game for severe storms.

At long last it’s here! Summer-like warmth takes over this week. It’s so warm, it’s going to feel like the middle of June. Winds are driving in warmer air from the southwest today. Those brisk winds will be enough to pop our temperature up to about 70 degrees. But this is the type of wind that’ll shake you around side-to-side in your car. This week’s forecast for the coast is a tricky one. Timing is everything. And it all hinges on the sea breeze.If the sea breeze gets going too early, it’ll ruin Boston Logan’s chance at hitting 70 tomorrow. But if that chilly breeze holds off long enough, and the sun heats the ground, then we’ll push past 70. By Tuesday afternoon, radar will be lit up with showers and storms punching into western New England. Daytime heating will give extra energy to these storms. We think that action arrives in Boston later in the evening. Wednesday features more sea breezes for Boston Logan International Airport. Bottom line:

Sunday is the last day with “cool temperatures,” even though our average highs are usually in the mid-50s this time of the year.  A sea breeze will kick in late Sunday and temps fall to the 40s at the coast, staying in the 50s inland until sunset.  Overnight a warm front approaches, so our clouds increase and lows stay in the 40s. A few light showers move by before sunrise Monday, then a south wind and some breaks in the clouds by the afternoon will mean temps soar to the upper 60s and low 70s.  Another wave of sprinkles or showers move through Monday evening, but not expecting much rainfall.  The jet stream flips to the north, creating a ridge over the Northeast — that’s why our temperatures are heating up this week!  Each day, our temps in Boston and along the coast will be dependent on the wind direction…and the sea breeze.  A sea breeze happens when the land warms up and heat rises. The air moves offshore and cools. Then the air sinks over the colder ocea

Not a huge drop in temperatures this weekend, but a noticeable one. With colder air diving in, we’ll fall from the 60s/70s yesterday to nearly 60 today. Gusty winds will make it feel a little colder (and make yard cleanup a challenge). Elevated fire weather potential The winds will also elevate our seasonal fire threat. With lots of leaves, dry branches, and other woody debris scattered across the landscape, any fires that ignite could spread rapidly. Some towns institute seasonal burn bans during dry spells in spring, so be mindful before you torch that pile of branches or leaves. Click here for active weather alerts When does it rain next? Showers are out of the picture until possibly Sunday night. When is the big warmup? Daytime temps tomorrow will fall back to the mid and upper 50s after a cooler start and a developing sea breeze. This will be the last “coolish” day for the next week, however. A big warm spell
