Storms brought a few pockets of minor damage to Greater Boston yesterday, but they managed to put a dent in the heat and humidity late in the afternoon. We’ll continue with that theme today as the fresh, dry airmass settles in. Sunshine will be shrouded by hazy smoke moving high overhead, and sea breezes will kick in along the coast. It’s a recipe for highs in the upper 70s to low 80s this afternoon.We’ll have a comfortable night before the clouds take over late. Showers will quickly move in our direction by early tomorrow, with the first drops arriving by mid-morning. Unfortunately, they’ll still be around through early/mid-afternoon, so the day isn’t looking all that spectacular if you have outdoor plans. The heaviest rain seems to be focused on northern Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire this time around, where nearly an inch may fall. Showers across southeastern Mass. (from Plymouth to Cape Cod) on the other hand, may take their sweet time moving in, possibly arriving as late as early afternoon. Amounts look much lighter there.Heat comes roaring back early next week as highs nudge 90 (Monday) and top 90 (Tuesday). Then it vanishes again as the cooler air comes to the rescue by midweek. We’ve had both sides of summer this year: the searing heat and the swift relief. A little something for everyone.Have a great weekend!

A couple accused funeral homes in Philadelphia and Georgia of inadvertently sending them their deceased son’s brain.Lawrence and Abbey Butler filed a lawsuit against Nix & Nix Funeral Homes in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, as well as Southern Cremations & Funerals in Georgia.According to the lawsuit, the couple’s son, Timothy Garlington, died back on Nov. 15, 2023. He was 56-years-old, according to his parents. While Garlington was from Philadelphia, he lived in Georgia at the time of his death. The Butlers said they hired Southern Cremations & Funerals as well as Nix & Nix Funeral Homes to handle their son’s funeral arrangements.The lawsuit claims Southern Cremations & Funerals in Georgia transported Garlington’s body to Nix & Nix Funeral Homes in Philadelphia on Nov. 20, 2023. When the Butlers received their son’s personal items, they noticed a white, unmarked box, according to the lawsuit. The couple said they noticed something inside the box began to smell and leak fluid in their car. They then discovered their son’s brain and brain matter was inside the box, according to the lawsuit.L to R: A photo of Timothy Garlington, a photo of the box where Garlington’s parents say his brain was inside. The lawsuit accuses the funeral homes of negligence in their handling of human remains as well as intentional infliction of emotional distress.The Butlers are represented by attorneys L. Chris Stewart and Alex Perwich of Stewart Miller Simmons Trial Attorneys in Atlanta, Georgia, as well as Samuel Anyan, Jr. of Wapner Newman in Philadelphia.The couple, along with their attorneys, spoke with the media on Thursday, July 24, at 1 p.m. at the Wapner Newman law offices in Center City.“It was and it is still in my heart,” Lawrence Butler said while fighting back tears. “That I got in my car and I smelled death. I just, again, as our attorney said, we just pray that this doesn’t ever happen to anyone else again. And it’s just, I had to get rid of that car. I just couldn’t stand the idea that the remains was in that car.”Stewart told reporters that his clients have not received an apology or an explanation from either funeral home. “To this day they don’t know if their son’s remains that were in the box were buried with the body,” Stewart said. “They have no earthly idea what happened.” You can view the lawsuit here or in the document embedded below.The owner of Nix & Nix Funeral Home told NBC Philadelphia his team did not know any brain matter was inside the box. He said his team believed the box held personal effects and they did not open the box to see what was inside. The owner said when another funeral home sends remains to them, everything should be intact. They said the state board did a thorough investigation and cleared them of wrongdoing. NBC Philadelphia reached out to the Pennsylvania State Board of Funeral Directors to learn more about any investigations into the matter. A spokesperson for the Pennsylvania Department of State said they cannot confirm or deny whether any licensee is under investigation or has been under investigation. The owner also said his team is working with their lawyer to discuss next steps.
