Beer-Weather-Sports, not necessarily in that order. Chief Meteorologist @WBZ w/reports for @CBSNews. Deep greens & blues are the colors I choose.

@patrick_osborne Oh man I feel this in my bones haha

[Eric Fisher @ericfisher]

More than a few nights in Boston when the train wasn't running, couldn't get a cab, and ended up just walking a couple miles back

Some memorable borderline hypothermic walks in January

How did millenials get home after a night out in the era before ubers?
Come to think of it,how was life actually before ubers?

[Eric Fisher @ericfisher]

Western NY having quite a night for September

Some of this action is what will move toward SNE overnight. Looks like the main push of it likely more toward CT and maybe WMass (story of the summer)

@ms3co1 d'oh...too used to talking about our side #live

[Eric Fisher @ericfisher]

The Pacific is all lined up with hurricanes. Most impressive display since 2015 when (you guessed it) we were in the midst of a developing Super Nino 🌏

In 2015 there were four Category 4 hurricanes spinning simultaneously out there

[Eric Fisher @ericfisher]

@kerryjax71 It's pretty cool! Just need to be constantly thinking of the right ways to use it for storytelling

[Eric Fisher @ericfisher]

@JetSpeed97 Yes some tech has been ordered to fix that issue! Should be here by end of the week

[Eric Fisher @ericfisher]

@BHLevesque Some of the "town crier" guys down there are some of the most interesting people you could ever meet. "Different" but definitley interesting

[Eric Fisher @ericfisher]

New England doing our best to resist this time

Very humid tomorrow, but brief

[Ben Noll @BenNollWeather]

Have you been sweating more than normal?

Peak humidity is forecast to reach extreme levels for around 140 million people across the United States in the days ahead 🥲

[Eric Fisher @ericfisher]

Mr Tux game! Yes!

What a classic

[Mazz @Mazz33]

@ericfisher Shea Hillenbrand walkoff?? Our group (shoutout Mr. Tux tickets!) made the one guy who drove in stay and all ran back to where he had parked in Back Bay postgame. Somehow all fit in his car for ride back to North Shore (safe)

[Eric Fisher @ericfisher]

Favorite was an 18-inning Sox game and trying to figure out how to get back to parking at Riverside. After maybe an hour or two standing around on the street finally found a cab willing to take us for $90, which was astronomically expensive in the year 2001

@hadik1974 Like I did here...we basically just pop up a traditional green screen for the main portion of weather

[Eric Fisher @ericfisher]

Our new virtual set is on the air! Basically a giant version of the traditional green screen

We'll start out slow with its capabilities and then let it rip as everyone gets comfy with the new tech (and yes a solution to make the audio have less of an echo is on the way)

Looking forward to geeking out with it as time goes on! #wbz

[Eric Fisher @ericfisher]

@jjrennie Yes very similar!

[Eric Fisher @ericfisher]

A pair of Category 4 hurricanes in the Pacific with Marie expected to become a hurricane as well tomorrow off the coast of Mexico. #ElNino things

[Eric Fisher @ericfisher]

@PatelTpatel79 yes indeed all the CBS network-owned stations have it

[Eric Fisher @ericfisher]

Nice drink of water in some towns from our weather watchers. Another round swings through late Wednesday night into Thursday morning...with a few more Thursday PM showers/storms likely to pop as well. #wbz

[Eric Fisher @ericfisher]

@jacobstein22 Didn't like the constant watering but for getting outdoors it was excellent

[Eric Fisher @ericfisher]

Climatological Summer has come to a close. It ended up tied for 5th warmest on record in Boston (preliminarily looks the same at Blue Hill). #wbz

[Eric Fisher @ericfisher]

@guerin_joe @davidwade yep it's in the works!

[Eric Fisher @ericfisher]

@MV02917966 yep!
