Weather Alert: Hot & Humid

WEATHER ALERT

Tuesday will be the hottest day of the stretch with afternoon highs climbing into the mid to upper 90s under a mostly sunny sky. Humidity will make it feel even hotter. While most of southern New England stays dry, severe thunderstorms are expected across northern New England. The greatest threats there will be damaging wind gusts, large hail, and an isolated tornado.

We won’t see relief from the heat Tuesday night either. Lows will drop to the upper 70s, and it will feel awfully muggy. An isolated downpour is possible into early Wednesday, but is not a big concern.

Wednesday will be another hot and humid day with highs in the mid 90s and heat index values once again approaching or topping 100 degrees.

The heat begins to ease slightly Thursday, but it will still be very warm with highs in the low 90s and noticeable humidity.

RELIEF ON THE WAY

Relief finally arrives Friday as temperatures settle back into the mid 80s with lower humidity, making it much more comfortable. Even cooler air moves in for the weekend with highs in the low 80s. Saturday isn’t a washout, but we’re watching for the chance of a few showers as the next weather system approaches.
