WE CAN EXPECT. A.J. YEAH, HERE WE GO AGAIN WITH THE HEAT AND HUMIDITY STARTING TOMORROW, IT NEVER REALLY QUITE WENT AWAY, BUT IT’S ABOUT TO COME BACK IN FULL FORCE TOMORROW, TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. HIGH TEMPERATURES EACH DAY, THE ACTUAL TEMPERATURE CLIMBING INTO THE MID 90S. NOW YOU FACTOR IN THE HUMIDITY. WE’VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS. IT SEEMS GOING TO FEEL LIKE IT’S NEAR 100 TOMORROW, UP ABOVE 100 ON TUESDAY. THAT’S THE COMBINED EFFECTS. THIS IS WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO THE BODY THAT’S TRYING TO WORK EVEN HARDER TO COOL ITSELF OFF BECAUSE OF THE HUMIDITY. IT WILL FEEL LIKE IT’S UP NEAR 100 ON WEDNESDAY AS WELL. LOTS TO GET THROUGH HERE. WE’VE GOT THAT TOUGH TO TAKE HEAT OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. STORMS MONDAY AND WEDNESDAY AFTERNOONS. I THINK THOSE ARE THE BEST CHANCES TO RUN INTO THOSE. WE’LL TALK MORE ABOUT THAT AND HEAVY DOWNPOURS COMING UP MIDWEEK IN ADVANCE OF SOME LOWER HUMIDITY. YOU’LL WANT TO STICK AROUND TO FIND OUT WHEN THAT GETS HERE. RIGHT NOW, 80 IN BOSTON, 88 IN BEDFORD, 90 IN NORWOOD. SO IT’S STILL QUITE HOT OUT THERE IN MANY CASES AND QUITE STUFFY AS WELL. WASHINGTON, D.C., 98 DEGREES. THEY HIT A RECORD TODAY, 101 AT NATIONAL AIRPORT AND 101 AT BALTIMORE AS WELL. SO I MEAN, THERE’S SOME HEAT TO BE HAD OUT THERE FOR SURE. RAIN COOLED IN CENTRAL OHIO, MOVING DOWN TOWARD WEST VIRGINIA, BUT THAT’S JUST TEMPORARY RELIEF. WE’RE IN HERE WITH THE HEAT FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS ALL ACROSS THE EASTERN PART OF THE COUNTRY. I’M WATCHING A LITTLE BIT OF FOG DOWN HERE FOR YOU FOLKS ON NANTUCKET. IF YOU’RE WATCHING OUT TOWARD MAYBE CHATHAM AS WELL, WE’LL GET INTO SOME OF THIS FOG, PERHAPS OVERNIGHT TONIGHT, IF THAT FOG BANK CAN CONTINUE KIND OF MEANDERING NORTHWARD ELSEWHERE. IT’S JUST A PATCHWORK OF SOME CLOUDS THAT ARE FIZZLING. RIGHT NOW. WE’RE LOOKING AT A MOSTLY CLEAR SKY OVERNIGHT TONIGHT. THERE’S A CLOSER LOOK AT SOME OF THAT FOG AS IT’S LAPPING AT NANTUCKET RIGHT NOW. LOW TEMPERATURES TONIGHT, DRIFTING OFF INTO THE UPPER 60S TO NEAR 70 DEGREES, GOING TO BE ANOTHER STUFFY NIGHT, ONE FOR THE AIR CONDITIONERS FOR SURE. AND HEAT ALERTS GO INTO EFFECT TOMORROW. HEAT ADVISORIES TOMORROW TUESDAY AND INTO PARTS OF WEDNESDAY FOR SOME OF YOU AS WELL. HOT AND HUMID 84 ON THE CAPE. THAT’S THE SPOT TO BE TO NEAR 94 AROUND THE BOSTON AREA. HEAT INDEX NEAR 100. SCATTERED STORMS BETWEEN 2 AND 8:00 TOMORROW AFTERNOON. THERE’S A SPREAD ON THOSE TEMPERATURES. I THINK EVEN THE COAST MAKES IT UP TO NEAR 90 DEGREES. HERE’S WHAT I WANT YOU TO LOOK OUT FOR TOMORROW. YOU’RE FINE THROUGH THE MORNING. GETTING THROUGH MIDDAY, 12:00 OR SO. LUNCHTIME. IT’S AFTER THAT WHEN WE START SEEING THESE AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS STARTING TO POP UP. YOU MAY NOT GET ONE, BUT IF YOU DO, YOU’RE SUSCEPTIBLE TO GETTING SOME VERY STRONG WINDS AND SOME HEAVY DOWNPOURS AND A LOT OF LIGHTNING. WITH THESE, I KNOW DAY CAMPS ARE GOING IN FULL FORCE. TOMORROW I WANT YOU TO KEEP AN EYE TO THE SKY TOMORROW AFTERNOON FOR THOSE STORMS AS THEY START COMING THROUGH. THAT’S NOT OUR ONLY CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS. AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. NOTICE I’VE GOT AN ISOLATED STORM IN THERE FOR TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY WE’VE COLORED RED. IT’S AN IMPACT. WEATHER DAY ON WEDNESDAY FOR THE COMBINED HEAT AND SOME FEISTY AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS. THESE STORMS ON WEDNESDAY WILL COME THROUGH AND DEPOSIT SOME HEAVY RAINFALL THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT. BY THURSDAY, DEW POINTS START COMING BACK AND BY FRIDAY, MAN, IT’S GOING TO FEEL VERY REFRESHING AROUND HERE.
