HEAT ADVISORYPatchy fog will lift around 8 AM, leading to a mostly sunny, hot and muggy day ahead. Brace for highs in the lower 90s in the entire greater Boston area. A HEAT ADVISORY will be in effect from 11 AM to 8 PM for “feels like temperatures” around 100 degrees thanks to the tropical humidity. Isolated thunderstorms will pop up locally after 4 PM. Keep an eye on the Boston 25 Weather App during the PM drive home and evening as that’s the best bet for mid afternoon Thursday.

SEVERE STORMS FRIDAYGet set for temperatures in the 70s and 80s instead of the Thursday’s 90s. It won’t be as hot today, but humidity will remain high. Most towns will remain dry this morning with isolated downpours on radar. Things will “heat up” this afternoon with scattered strong and severe thunderstorms. Localized flooding will likely develop in areas hit hardest with torrential rainfall. Stay alert for Severe Thunderstorm Warnings for damaging gusts and large hail within those storms.

HAZY, HOT, AND HUMIDWe have a Weather Alert Thursday for the hottest weather of the week and of the year (so far). Brace for our first 90s of the summer, especially away from the coast. The local beaches will climb well into the 80s with some 70s far south. It will be bright and blazing. While most of the day looks dry, an isolated storm or two could pop up during the second half of the day. Coverage will be very small. The main concerns are a localized downpour and lightning.
