The MBTA's Orange Line officially closed Friday night for a month of critical repairs. The leadup to the closure was swift and full of confusion, and commuters are preparing for what's expected to be a horrific month of travel. WBZ NewsRadio reporter Karyn Regal, who has been watching the situation as it develops, joins Nichole to talk about how things got to this point and what's expected to come out of the unprecedented closure. Almost half of Massachusetts is currently in what's considered an "extreme drought". Rain has been hard to come by this year across the entire state, with rivers and ponds drying up and lawns turning brown and crunchy. Vandana Rao, the Director of Water Policy for the Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs, explains what's happening with our weather patterns and has an update on how well the Commonwealth's water supply is holding up amid the dry conditions.
