4 Day Heat Wave Coming To An End
An impressive shortwave moving through this morning triggering thunderstorms, downpours, lightning, and even some damaging winds across SE MA. This was a pre-frontal trough which will push offshore and temps are going to quickly rise again. The rainfall evaporating will make for a very humid feel to the air and make for another day with a Heat Index near 100.
One more day of intense heat is likely, but clouds so far have slowed the temp rise. Clouds are quickly starting to erode and give way to increasing midday-afternoon sunshine. The sun with west winds should be enough to spike the temps back up into the mid -upper 90's...where clouds hold on longer, temps may struggle to get into the Lwr 90's. Heat advisory remains in place through 6 PM tonight.
The heat wave breaking cold front will push through tonight with very little action. Maybe an isolated shower or storm early...otherwise skies will be partly cloudy with falling dewpoints. Drier air will be on the move with lows in the 60's and lwr 70's
The cold front will be south of new England Sunday morning. Early clouds will give way to increasing sunshine. Winds will shift to the NNE , which will make for a cooling sea breeze at the coast. Highs will still be in the mid 80's in land with 70's and Lwr 80's at our beaches.
Comfortable air Sunday Night through Monday. Clouds will be increasing Monday ahead of our next cold front. ESE winds with increasing cloudiness will keep temps in the 70's. Showers and maybe a thunderstorm will be possible Monday night through early Tuesday. Partly sunny skies emerge Tuesday with a risk of a pop up PM storm with temps near 80.
Warmer more humid air will return for the middle to end of the week with temps climbing back up into the 80's to near 90. There will be a risk for that pop up PM T'storm both Thursday & Friday.
Nice to take a break from the historical heat and return the temperatures to a more normal level.
