June-like warmth to start the week
WARMING UP! Rain cleared quickly this morning. Skies will average mostly cloudy with some breaks of sun at times today. Highs will reach the 70s in much of southern New England with some beach 60s. The Cape and Islands will be the coolest with patchy fog and clouds most of the morning. A pop up shower is possible this afternoon and early evening, but coverage will be quite limited with most towns and cities remaining dry. Still, keep that slight shower risk in mind during the evening commute in the greater Boston area. Tuesday is the pick of the entire week. Plan to soak up mostly sunny skies and highs well into the 70s. Highs may hit 80 degrees in a few interior towns. Local sea breezes will keep those beaches in the 60s again. LATER THIS WEEK

Jack Lueders-Booth’s Sensitive Portrait of an American Women’s Prison
Jack Lueders-Booth appears on my screen wearing a red jumper and crinkly brown tweed jacket, surrounded by books and neat piles of printed materials in his charming Boston home office. “I’m not quite in order,” the 88-year-old American photographer and former Harvard professor says. “I’m just waking up.
