A person is under arrest after an incident that left two officers injured at Boston City Hall on Friday, police say.

Our nor’easter continues to slowly move away from southern New England…kind of.
This storm continues to weaken and loop around in the Gulf of Maine over the next couple of days, keeping us unsettled and raw.
Snow showers linger but they will be rather light and scattered through Friday. The snow from Thursday really helped out ski areas!
Some of the highest totals from the storm as of Friday afternoon: 24 inches Moretown, VT; Rochester, VT 21.5 inches; Shapleigh, ME 21.5 inches; Stowe, VT 20 inches; Freedom, NH 19.5 inches.
Some light snow showers continue off and on Friday up north. South, we see a few sprinkles or showers with highs in the 40s south and 30s north. Also, a little westerly breeze with gusts up to 25 miles per hour will make it feel quite brisk under the clouds for an April day.
This weekend is interesting too as the low pressure system is still to our east and heading south. So, it swings in some snow showers to a mix then rain showers across the eastern half of New England.
Cloudy skies will be found all across the northeast, with highs in the 30s to low 40s east, and in the mid 40s west.
Sunday there is some improvement as the storm system moves farther east and out to sea. Still, clouds linger, spotty showers or snow showers will be around with a northerly breeze. High temperatures may gain a few degrees in eastern New England but still in the 40s for most.
Just in time for the big solar eclipse Monday afternoon, our sky clears here in the northeast!
A few fair weather or high-level clouds may be around but it’s not enough to cancel plans or anything. And a warmup kicks in Monday with highs in the low 60s.
Next week remains quieter with temps in the 60s through midweek and sea breezes with cooler temps at the coasts.

A 57-year-old man was killed in a hit-and-run crash in Dighton, Massachusetts, on Thursday night, authorities said.
Dighton police received a 911 call around 10 p.m. from an off-duty Taunton police officer who saw something in the breakdown lane on Route 44 and then realized it was a man, the Bristol District Attorney’s Office said Friday morning.
The victim, later identified as Paul DeMoura, was taken to Morton Hospital in Taunton, where he later died.
The district attorney’s office said preliminary investigation revealed that DeMoura appeared to have been struck by a motor vehicle that left the scene. He is believed to have been walking on Route 44 westbound when he was hit.
Police had said Thursday night that they were looking for a Toyota, but did not know the year or model. The investigation into the incident is ongoing, the district attorney’s office said, and anyone with information is asked to call Dighton police at 508-669-6711.

A Massachusetts man is facing charges after authorities say he intentionally hit a 26-year-old woman with his car in a road rage incident in Hopkinton on Thursday night.
Ryan Sweatt, 36, of Milford, is charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon causing serious bodily injury, operating to endanger and a marked lanes violation, the Middlesex District Attorney’s Office announced Friday morning.
The district attorney’s office said their preliminary investigation suggests that Sweatt was driving a Honda Civic on Route 85 in Hopkinton on Thursday night when he became engaged in an apparent road rage incident with another vehicle. At some point, some of the occupants of the other vehicle, including the victim, exited the car. Sweatt then made a U-turn at a high rate of speed and struck the victim in the road.
The victim was taken to an area hospital with life-threatening injuries, prosecutors said.
Sweatt is expected to be arraigned Friday in Framingham District Court.
The investigation into the incident is ongoing and involves the district attorney’s office, Hopkinton police and state police.
