Today's Top Headlines

Monday, June 23

We're going to be simmering again today, with the heat only set to intensify through tomorrow. How hot it'll get is in our forecast. Plus, all the latest developments from overnight on the situation in Iran — including how Gov. Maura Healey is coordinating with federal agencies to monitor the situation. Also, as "Amity Homecoming" weekend wraps up on Martha's Vineyard, we look at 50 years of "Jaws". I'm Matt Fortin with today's top stories.

Monday morning starts warm and muggy, and by the afternoon, highs soar into the mid 90s inland, and upper 80s at the coast.

When you factor in the humidity, it will easily feel triple digits. Even coastal areas will be hot, though places like Cape Cod will get some relief with highs in the 70s and 80s.

Skies stay mostly sunny and dry, but don’t expect much of a break after sunset, overnight temps only fall into the 70s, with a tropical, sticky feel lingering through the night.

Governor Maura Healey said she’s been briefed on the “heighted threat environment” amid the escalating conflict in the Middle East, writing online that there are no specific threats to Massachusetts at this time.

Healey said she was briefed by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem as state officials coordinate with federal agencies to monitor the situation.

“Our thoughts and gratitude are with the brave men and women of our armed forces deployed in the Middle East and their families,” Healey wrote in her post.

Iran has spent decades building multi-tiered military capabilities at home and across the region that were at least partly aimed at deterring the United States from attacking it. By entering Israel’s war, the U.S. may have removed the last rationale for holding them in reserve.

That could mean a wave of attacks on U.S. forces in the Middle East, an attempt to close a key bottleneck for global oil supplies or a dash to develop a nuclear weapon with what remains of Iran’s disputed program after American strikes on three key sites.

A decision to retaliate against the U.S. and its regional allies would give Iran a far larger target bank and one that is much closer than Israel, allowing it to potentially use its missiles and drones to greater effect. The U.S. and Israel have far superior capabilities, but those haven’t always proven decisive in America’s recent history of military interventions in the region.

If you spend some time on Martha’s Vineyard, and talk to some longtime islanders, you’re bound to hear some “Jaws” stories that will blow your mind.

The legendary film — which premiered on the island on June 20, 1975 and filmed there the year prior — has become an undeniable part of Martha’s Vineyard history and culture. The picturesque New England getaway remains unchanged in many ways, so many of the movie’s settings are instantly recognizable even 50 years later.

Five decades later, stories of the film remain clear as day in locals’ minds, too. And with so many islanders involved in the production of the movie, it’s not hard to find Vineyarders with unique ties to “Jaws.”

Another juror from the Karen Read murder retrial has come forward, speaking exclusively with NBC10 Boston Sunday.

During a sit-down interview, the juror explained the process of coming to the decision that Read was not guilty of killing her Boston police officer boyfriend John O’Keefe.

She says she’ll never forget the sound of the crowd outside the courthouse in Dedham last Wednesday, erupting after the verdict was read that Read had been found not guilty in O’Keefe’s death.

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye is having a memorable offseason.

Maye married his longtime love, Ann Michael Hudson, this weekend, sharing wedding photos to Instagram on Sunday.

“What a night! Cheers to forever! I love you!” the 22-year-old QB wrote.
