HEATING UP!
Humidity won’t be too bad today, but it will be quite hot with highs in the mid to upper 80s for most. Mostly sunny skies will linger much of the day, but a period of partly cloudy conditions will pass through with the slight chance for a pop up shower north and west of Boston - not a biggie. Most towns won’t see any rain.
The hottest weather of the week arrives Tuesday as temperatures climb into the upper 90s. Combined with increasing humidity, it will feel even hotter. There won’t be much relief Tuesday night either, with sweltering overnight lows near 80.
The heat continues Wednesday with highs again reaching the upper 90s and humidity levels slow to drop. If you have plans outdoors, be sure to stay hydrated, take breaks in the shade, and check on anyone without access to air conditioning.
SLOW RELIEF
Thursday will still be hot around 90, but it won’t be a muggy. Unlike some summer heat waves, we aren’t expecting widespread afternoon thunderstorms to provide much cooling this week, so the heat will be persistent for several days.
Change arrives this weekend as temperatures ease back into the lower 80s with a period of much needed rain - exact timing TBD (favoring Saturday right now)
