Highs today, once again climbed into the 80s for most...even Boston saw a high of 81. The air was also very humid today with dewpoints in the mid to upper 60s.

One day in and Summer has taken a mini vacation. Today, the rain came in early and was steady all afternoon and soaking this evening. Many towns have picked up close to 1" already and this is only round one of several over the next few days.
Day one of Summer did not disappoint but it's day three and four that we have to worry about.
