AND...The Heat Wave Begins
Today is the beginning of a heat wave!
It will be a 4-day stretch of hazy, hot, and humid days.
The National Weather Service has already issued an Excessive Heat Watch for our viewing area on Thursday and Friday.
Check: Interactive Radar | Current Conditions | Weather Map Center
The sun will be shining today with high temperatures reaching the 90F degree mark in most backyards... around the middle 80s on the Cape/Islands.
Watch Melissa's forecast:
Extreme heat can be expected on Thursday and Friday.
Highs will range between 95-100F along with dewpoints in the 70s.
This combo will spike the heat indices higher than 100 degrees!
There will be a slight risk of storms late-day Friday, but most of the action will stay across northern and western New England. An upper level ridge is acting as our 'protector.'
This Weekend:
Highs will remain in the 90s on Saturday before feeling some relief on Sunday with highs in the middle 80s.
There is a very slight chance of a late-day storm on Saturday. Otherwise, we can plan for a mainly dry weekend.
T.S. Bret update: 50 mph max. sustained winds...moving NE @ 7mph.
Stay Cool! Be safe!
Melissa :)
