SEATTLE (AP) — It’s rare that Megan Rapinoe is at a loss for words. The retiring star was honored by club team OL Reign on Friday night in front of a National Women’s Soccer League record crowd of 34,130 fans, many of whom wore pink wigs in her honor.“I do know my impact but it’s one thing to know it, and another thing to really feel it and see it. To see some of the signs and the pink wigs and see what that means to people,” she said. “It’s hard to put just this deep sense of gratitude and joy and thankfulness for being able to have a moment like this into words.” With her family and fiancé Sue Bird looking on, Rapinoe started for the Reign in a scoreless draw against the Washington Spirit. Lumen Field’s public address system played “Ain’t No Sunshine When She’s Gone” when she took to the field with her teammates. Rapinoe had already played her final match with the U.S. national team last month in Chicago, but Friday marked her final regula...

Showers today, fall-like and breezy tomorrow

Good morning! Some of us are waking up to showers and others are waking up to overcast conditions. That’s how today will be as we keep the chance for showers around throughout the day. We clear out overnight. Sunday and Monday will be cooler and breezy, but great for any fall activities!The damp day is in part to two things: to our south, the remnants of Philippe (essentially a low pressure system) and to our west a cold front. The remnants will continue to move northward through the day and as it does this will allow the front to slide east.Here’s an idea of what radar will be like today. Showers will be off and on within MetroWest. If you’re not under a shower, you’ll get overcast conditions. Rain skims the Lower Cape. The heaviest rain sets up to our east. The only Flood Watch posted so far is for New York State and includes New York City and Long Island. The front will slide through tonight and overnight we’ll clear out. Temperatures will not budge ...

Despite overwhelming bipartisan support in Washington for stopping Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion, the failure to approve Uk...
