Monday storms, very humid week ahead

MONDAY STORMS NORTH & WEST

Early clouds will make way to partly sunny skies today. It will be muggy and warm with highs in the 80s. Boston and the MA beaches will stay dry all day.

Western MA and western CT are under Flood Watches - that’s where flash flooding is the greatest threat locally. A few thunderstorms and downpours will probably sneak into central MA and southern NH. Towns north and west of I-495 need to stay weather aware this afternoon and especially for the evening commute.

Those storms will weaken after dark. Patchy showers and fog will linger overnight with temperatures in the 70s will keeping it warm and muggy.

HEATING UP

Summer heat really starts to build in Tuesday. Highs will be close to 90°. Tropical humidity will make it feel even hotter. Generally dry weather is expected other than a few early AM sprinkles in southeastern MA and an isolated PM pop-up.

A heat wave is possible from Tuesday through Friday locally. Be ready for Heat Advisories as the humidity on top of that heat will make it quite oppressive. Be smart, take breaks, stay hydrated, limit limit strenuous activity outdoors.

MORE STORMS

Deep tropical moisture will build back in late week. Be ready for downpours and thunderstorms Thursday and Friday at times.
