Mercury On The Rise
It's going to be another nice day across Southern New England. However, there will be a slight risk of inland tstorms through the prime daytime heating hours (afternoon). Also, I think we will start sunny-style before some debris cloud cover passes the area from a thunderstorm complex to that affected the Great Lakes Region overnight. Highs will be in the lower to middle 80s...70s S.Coast/Cape/Islands. Tomorrow will be the same forecast-wise, but it will be hotter with highs in near 90F...80s S.Coast/Cape/Islands.
Thursday-Friday: Thursday's highs will aim for the middle 90s!!! Heat indices could come close to 100F! All models are showing a cold front spawning showers and tstorms, which may be strong (CAPE: ~1500-2000...LI -3 to -5). The models did a flip-flop today as the EURO is showing the cold front stalling south of our viewing area while the GFSx is now showing the front stalling across SE Mass. The worst case scenario is that there will be lingering clouds and showers on Friday for SE Mass. The remainder of the viewing area would see improving conditions with highs back in the 80s and decrease in humidity. If the EURO rings true, we would all be drying out Friday morning, and we would bring back another chance of rain by late-day Saturday. Highs this weekend look cooler with lower 70s on Saturday and near 70F on Sunday.
