A Dry Saturday, Storm Risk And Strong Heat Sunday

AND THAT’S THE CASE FOR THE REST OF THIS AFTERNOON. AVERAGE HIGHS ABOUT 78. SO THAT 86 IN THE FORECAST FOR BOSTON IS ABOVE AVERAGE. I EXPECT MOST LOCATIONS TO THE SUBURBS HERE WILL HIT THOSE LOW TO MID 80S AS WELL. TODAY. NOT AS HOT ON CAPE COD AND THE ISLANDS. A REALLY NICE MILD BEACH DAY FOR THE CAPE AND ISLANDS IN THE UPPER 70S LOW 80S. AND YOU’LL NOTICE IF YOU’RE HEADING TOWARD THE TIP OF CAPE AND OUR NORTH SHORE BEACHES, GOOD HARBOR BEACH, FOR INSTANCE. UPPER 70S, LOW 80S, A REALLY MILD, BEAUTIFUL BEACH DAY. A REMINDER WE HAVE A VERY HIGH SUN ANGLE, SO UV INDEX UP TO ABOUT NINE TODAY. IF YOU ARE ENJOYING SOME OUTDOOR TIMES, YOU MIGHT WANT THE SUNBLOCK ON HAND. SUNSHINE THROUGH OUR 12 HOUR FORECAST. NOTICE THERE’S SOME CLOUDS GATHERING NEAR SUNSET. THOSE CLOUDS CONTINUE TO GATHER THROUGH THE NIGHT AND KEEP US WARM AS WE STAY NEAR 70, AND THAT WILL SET THE STAGE FOR OUR IMPACT WEATHER DAY TOMORROW. MULTIPLE IMPACTS. WE’RE TALKING ABOUT STORMS AND ALSO STRONG HEAT AND HUMIDITY. THE STORM POTENTIAL COULD TURN SEVERE. IT’S A LOW RISK, BUT IT’S SOMETHING WE’RE WATCHING WITH A GUSTY WIND AND LIGHTNING POSSIBLE AS THEY ROLL THROUGH IN THE MORNING. IT IS A MORNING ISSUE, SO WE’RE LOOKING AT 5:06 A.M. STORMS FIRING OFF TO OUR NORTH. IF YOU’RE NORTH OF ROUTE TWO, YOU MIGHT HEAR SOME THUNDER AS EARLY AS 6 A.M. THAT STARTS TO SHIFT SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE MORNING. AT 8 A.M., WE’RE KICKING OFF THE BOSTON 10-K, AND UNFORTUNATELY, I DO THINK THESE STORMS COULD INTERRUPT THE START OF THE RACE AS WE COULD SEE SOME LIGHTNING AS WELL. THE STORM THREAT IS SLIGHTLY STRONGER NORTH OF BOSTON. AND THEN ALSO MOVING INTO WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS, INTO UPSTATE NEW YORK. THIS IS PAUSED AT 9 A.M. AND STILL THOSE STORMS ARE AROUND AS WE MOVE TOWARD MIDDAY, THE STORMS START TO SHIFT SOUTH, AND WE SHOULD DRY OUT AS WE HEAD INTO THE AFTERNOON. IN FACT, I THINK WE’LL ACTUALLY SEE A LITTLE BIT OF SUN AS WE HEAD INTO THE AFTERNOON AS WELL. LIGHTNING IS A CONCERN. I DO WANT TO SHOW THE PROGRESSION OF THE LIGHTNING POTENTIAL AS IT STARTS OVER. NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND OVERNIGHT, AND THEN SHIFTS SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE MORNING. 8 A.M. YOU CAN SEE THAT LIGHTNING POTENTIAL GETS TOWARD BOSTON, ALTHOUGH IT IS MUCH STRONGER OVER THE NORTH SHORE AND HEADING INTO SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE. EXTREME HEAT WARNING KICKS OFF TOMORROW AT 11 AND INCLUDES MUCH OF OUR STATE CONTINUES THROUGH TUESDAY. BY TUESDAY, THAT’S OUR HOTTEST DAY, WITH HEAT INDICES POSSIBLY REACHING UP TO 110. THE ACTUAL NUMBERS HERE FOR TOMORROW MID 90S FOR MOST SPOTS AWAY FROM CAPE COD, BUT THE FEEL LIKE TEMPERATURE. LOOK AT THIS. LOOKING TOWARD 100 DEGREES IN A FEW SPOTS. THAT’S WHAT IT WILL FEEL LIKE TOMORROW AFTERNOON. SO CERTAINLY A HOT STRETCH. OUR FIRST HEAT WAVE OF THE YEAR, THE PEAK OF IT ON TUESDAY WIT
