Heat and humidity return

SUMMER HEAT MAKING A COMEBACK

The heat and humidity are back in full force! We have a heat advisory in effect starting tomorrow morning at 11 AM which continues through Friday evening at 8 PM. High temperatures both tomorrow and Friday will max out in the lower 90s with humidity making it feel even warmer than that. Tomorrow will bring a lower rain chance with only isolated storms in the picture, most will remain dry but we cannot rule out a brief heavy downpour.

Friday and Saturday will be hot and humid with highs near 90 degrees, putting parts of southern New England on track for a potential heat wave. Each afternoon brings the chance for a few pop-up showers or thunderstorms, but many towns will remain dry. The storms that do develop will be capable of heavy rain, frequent lightning, and gusty winds.

The warm air won’t offer much relief overnight either. Temperatures will only fall into the low 70s, making for muggy nights.

RELIEF ON THE WAY

Sunday stays hot with highs near 90 degrees, although the humidity should ease just a bit compared to Friday and Saturday. A more noticeable change arrives early next week as the heat begins to break. By Tuesday, afternoon highs return to the middle 80s with slightly lower humidity.
