HOLLISTON, MA — It's a gloomy Wednesday in the MetroWest as stormy weather moves into the area. High wind warnings are in effect until 2 a.m. on Thursday. Thankfully, this should be the only bit of wicked weather as the second half of the week looks cool and sunny.

While we look forward to closing out the week with some sunshine, 50 students at Holliston's Robert Adams Middle School will close out the school week from their computers after a school employee tested positive for COVID-19.
