Heat, humidity, and some storms

WEATHER ALERT FOR HEAT

Plan for a mild night with temperatures holding in the 60s. The heat ramps up quickly Tuesday with temperatures soaring into the mid 90s by the afternoon. Plan on record warmth in Boston too! The current record of 90° set back in 2017 will likely be shattered with highs near 95° in Boston. There will be a touch more humidity too.

A Heat Advisory is in effect from 11 AM Tuesday through 8 PM Wednesday for feels-like temperatures near 96 degrees.

While much of Tuesday stays dry, an isolated pop-up thunderstorm is possible during the afternoon or evening. Any storm that develops could produce brief heavy rain and gusty winds.

The heat and humidity stick around Wednesday with highs back into the low 90s. A boundary approaching from the west will bring a better chance for scattered thunderstorms during the afternoon and evening. Some of those storms could pack a punch with strong wind gusts, heavy rain, and frequent lightning.

COOLER END TO THE WEEK

Behind the storms, it will be much cooler through the rest of the week. High temperatures will drop back into the 60s Thursday and Friday.

And yes… we are already watching Memorial Day weekend. Right now, it looks cooler with highs in the low 60s and the potential for periods of rain. That forecast is still several days away, so be sure to check back as we continue to fine-tune the holiday weekend outlook.
