Before you enjoy another day of warm weather like Wyc Grousbeck on the Common, let’s get to the news:

The downside of this beautiful weather: The National Weather Service warns there is an increased risk of wildfires across much of Massachusetts today. WBUR’s John Bender reports that state fire officials say drought, falling leaves and unseasonably warm temperatures have combined to create a higher brush risk.

• Zoom in: Crews have largely contained the five-acre fire that started Sunday at the popular Blue Hills Reservation in Milton. Although no trails have been closed, the fire is expected to continue to smolder until heavy rain falls. “There will be light smoke up there,” said Dave Celino, the state’s chief fire marshal. “Nothing to worry about. But those are the conditions we can expect going forward until we get some kind of so-called seasonal closure, whether it’s snow or heavy rain.”
• Zoom out: That means the risk is unlikely to change anytime soon, Celino said. “It’s the fall season,” he said. “And so we want people to really enjoy themselves there. But to be aware of the super dry conditions.” Celino noted that more than 95% of all forest fires are caused by human activity.

The last laugh? Even if voters approve the ballot question to get rid of MCAS as a graduation requirement, top lawmakers from Beacon Hill leaders suggested yesterday they could have the final say. State law allows the Legislature to make changes to — or even completely eliminate — measures approved by voters on the ballot. House Speaker Ron Mariano, Senate President Karen Spilka and Governor Maura Healey have all publicly expressed opposition to Question 2, which is leading in the polls.

• What they’re saying: Mariano told reporters that it would be “premature” to “walk away” from the standardized test. Spilka also said “we’ll have some discussions when it’s over.” They also did not rule out that they would also adjust other questions.
• Flashback: It wouldn’t be the first time Beacon Hill intervened to improve a voting law. In 2003, the Legislature repealed a 1998 voter-approved law to establish public financing of elections.

Meanwhile on Beacon HillSpilka said negotiators are “close” to an agreement on an economic development bond bill that would invest more money in the life sciences and climate technology sectors – and maybe even paving the way for a New England Revolution stadium in Everett.

• The bond bill — a major priority of Healey — was among the bills the state House failed to pass before formal sessions ended this summer. Beacon Hill leaders would have to hold a special formal session to pass the bill now. According to State House News Service, Mariano said he hopes this will happen before the elections – which are only 13 days away.

Election update: About one in seven registered voters in Massachusetts have cast ballots so far in this fall’s general election. That includes more than 116,000 people who voted early in person and more than 602,000 who returned their mail-in ballots yesterday as of 4 p.m.

• PSA: That leaves more than 755,000 Bay Staters who have requested and received mail-in ballots but have not yet returned them. If that’s you, Sec. from Secretary of State Bill Galvin recommends returning your ballot by next Tuesday to ensure it is counted. If you wait longer, Galvin says you should take your ballot to a drop box or the county clerk’s office, or vote in person. “The Postal Service itself has said they can’t guarantee it if it happens within seven days,” Galvin told WBUR’s Dan Guzman.

NB: The B branch of the Green Line was suspended this morning between Kenmore and Blandford Street due to what the T is calling a “switching issue.” Commuters are encouraged to use bus 57 or the C or D branches of the Green Line for alternative services.

PS – Massachusetts may not have fun “I Voted” sticker contests like New Hampshire or Michigan, but some local communities are taking the initiative, including Brookline, which is offering voters these branded turkey stickers.
