MILFORD, MA — Welcome to a sunny, warm Tuesday afternoon. We have one more day of unseasonably warm weather before rain and temperatures in the low 60s return Thursday, according to forecasts.

Major business news is breaking this afternoon with Amazon confirming it intends to open two new sorting facilities in Milford and Northborough. Once open, they will employ about 2,000 people, according to the company.

Milford's new sorting facility will be located at 1 National Street off Route 140 near the Hopedale line. Northborough's new sorting facility is located at 350 Bartlett St. and a second facility is planned to open on the same street later in 2020.
