Potential heat wave begins Sunday

SUNDAY HEATING UP

Expect very warm conditions today with widespread highs reaching the upper 80s to low 90s. Coastal areas will reach at least the mid 80s, although it will be 5-10 degrees cooler on the Cape & Islands where fog may linger into the afternoon. Despite some humidity, it will be a bit more comfortable than Saturday. Just make sure to stay hydrated with feels-like temps in the mid 90s and use sunscreen if you’re enjoying the day outdoors!

HOT AND SUNNY EARLY WEEK

As we move into the work week, Monday brings a mix of sun and clouds with highs reaching around 90 one again. The trend continues into Tuesday, with temperatures climbing into the low 90s. Both days will feature a mix of sun & clouds and minimal chances of rain, although the humidity will tick back up again on Tuesday. Feels-like temps will respond by nearing triple-digits and we are on weather alert as a result.

UNSETTLED WEATHER LATER THIS WEEK

Wednesday introduces a very slight cool down with highs in the upper 80s, but the humidity will remain high. Expect a scattered showers and thunderstorms, particularly late in the day. This will occur thanks to Beryl, which will be a post-tropical storm over the Great Lakes at this point.

The latter part of the week brings a very slight break from the high heat. Thursday will see temperatures in the mid 80s with partly cloudy skies and a chance of isolated storms. Friday will also be in the mid 80s with another chance for storms in the afternoon. High humidity will keep feels-like temps around 90.
