Here Comes the Heat...
Just when we thought we were in the clear from any serious heat, the hottest air of the season is about to sneak in here for a couple of days and some records will be challenged and may fall.
High pressure is providing some wonderful weather to New England. Sunny, warm but low humidity and that will be the case again tomorrow. The gradient will remain light with that high close to us so a weak seabreeze will kick in during the afternoon where highs will range from 74-79 but inland away from the cooling ocean breeze highs will be near 85. It's there, where a brief pop-up shower or thunderstorm may develop, either over the higher terrain in Central Mass or along the seabreeze where a little extra lift will be produced.
The heat that is currently in the middle of the country will surge in on Wednesday with highs very close to 90 any seabreezes that day will be very localized so even Boston will get close to the 90 degree mark.
Thursday will be the hottest of the stretch with offshore winds and some mid-Summer heat aloft, highs in the mid 90s are definitely attainable. We will be testing records that day...the high for Boston is 96 and in Worcester it's 92...going to be close!
There is a good chance of pre-frontal thunderstorms some could be severe Thursday evening. It looks like the front may be delayed until Friday morning and could mean another round of storms on Friday too. Following that the air will dry out and cool off for the weekend. The question is will the front stall close by for the weekend and provide unsettled, wet weather...right now the answer is it will.
