Weather Alert: Heat, humidity, storms

SUMMERY WEDNESDAY STORMS

Heat and humidity will surge today ahead of a front. Highs will make it to near 90 again, this time feeling quite sticky. Hit or miss showers will start to pop in the afternoon, but rain and storm will likely peak at night or even early Thursday morning as a cold front interacts with the warm and muggy air mass. Storms may be on the stronger side, with locally torrential rainfall and damaging gusts. Stay alert for any Severe Thunderstorm Warning issued in your town both today and tonight.

CLEARING OUT

Stormy weather will last through early Thursday morning. By 8 AM it should be dry in Boston with gradual clearing underway. It won’t be quite as muggy or hot with highs in the 80s instead of the 90s. An isolated thunderstorm or two will pop up Thursday afternoon locally, but most will be dry and bright for the second half of the day.

Friday will be a treat with LOW HUMIDITY! Fresh wake-up 50s will warm to mild highs in the upper 70s. Expect sunny skies all day. The weather will be perfect for a visit to the Boston 25 News Zip Trip in Rockland from 6-10 AM.
