90s expected across Massachusetts next week

UNHARMED. TEAM EFFORT THERE. EXACTLY. WELL. BEAUTIFUL DAY. YOU’RE LOOKING AT THE CHARLES RIVER. A LOT MORE SAILBOATS ON THE RIVER THIS AFTERNOON. TEMPERATURE RIGHT immediately, 81 DEGREES, WHICH DOESN’T FEEL TOO BAD, ESPECIALLY WITH COMPARED TO WHAT’S GOING TO COME. YEAH, VERY BRIGHT AND HAZY BECAUSE OF ALL THE SUNSHINE OUT THERE TODAY, DAVID. YEAH. WE DEALT WITH A BIT OF A SEA BREEZE ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COASTLINE, SO WE DIDN’T anthem THAT 90 DEGREE MARK IN BOSTON. I THINK TOMORROW WE HAVE A BETTER OPPORTUNITY OF GETTING CLOSER TO THE 90 DEGREE MARK. SO IT’S BEEN A HOTTER THAN AVERAGE SUMMER. BUT IF YOU CAN BELIEVE IT, WE’VE ONLY ACTUALLY HAD TWO HEAT WAVES IN THE CITY OF BOSTON. ONE WAS TOWARD THE END OF JUNE, THE OTHER WAS TOWARD THE BEGINNING OF JULY. WE MAY HAVE ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY, BUT IT STARTS WITH TOMORROW. IF WE DON’T anthem THAT 90 DEGREE MARK IN THE CITY OF BOSTON TOMORROW, OF COURSE, WE’LL BE JUST SHY OF THAT HEAT WAVE 84 DEGREES FOR A DAYTIME HIGH IN BOSTON TODAY, ALL THANKS TO A BIT OF A SEA BREEZE KEEPING US JUST A BIT COOLER, BUT STILL WARMER THAN AVERAGE AND A FAR CRY FROM OUR RECORD OF 101 DEGREES ON THIS DATE. TEMPERATURES OUTDOORS STILL ON THE WARM SIDE 88. IN FITCHBURG, 84 IN WORCESTER. SAME GOES FOR ORANGE AT 88 DEGREES, 87 IN NORWOOD AND THE CAPE AND ISLANDS. A LITTLE BIT COOLER THAT CONTINUES RIGHT INTO TOMORROW. SO I WOULDN’T EXPECT ANY 90S ON THE CAPE AND ISLANDS THROUGHOUT THIS STRETCH. MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES OUTSIDE OF SOME HAZE AND SOME A FEW FAIRWEATHER CLOUDS. JUST A TOUCH OF HUMIDITY OUT THERE, BUT HUMIDITY WILL REALLY START TO BUILD OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. I THINK PEAKING BY THE TIME WE GET TO AROUND WEDNESDAY TO THURSDAY, AND THAT’S WHEN WE HAVE A CHANCE FOR RAIN. NOT FOR EVERYONE. I’LL SHOW YOU THAT IN JUST A MOMENT. OUTSIDE OF THAT, JUST A TOUCH OF HUMIDITY. SO UNLIKE THE PREVIOUS HEAT WAVES WHERE WE’RE DEALING WITH PLENTY OF HEAT AND DEW POINTS NEAR THAT 70 DEGREE MARK, OR JUST OVER THAT, I DON’T THINK WE’RE GOING TO BE THAT HUMID THIS TIME AROUND. TEMPERATURES TONIGHT FALLING INTO THE 60S A FEW SPOTS CLOSE TO THE CITY NEAR THAT 70 DEGREE MARK. AND THAT JUST MEANS WE WILL CLIMB FAIRLY QUICKLY. SO WAKING UP TOMORROW MORNING, PLENTY OF SUNSHINE AND THAT CONTINUES WELL INTO YOUR AFTERNOON HOURS. MAYBE A FEW FAIRWEATHER CLOUDS, BUT THAT’S PRETTY MUCH ABOUT IT. AND THEN HERE COMES THE SEA BREEZE INTO OUR AFTERNOON HOURS. SO THE QUESTION IS, HOW HOT WILL WE BE BEFORE THAT SEA BREEZE ARRIVES? I THINK WE anthem THAT 90 DEGREE MARK IN BOSTON EARLY AFTERNOON. THEN SEA BREEZE TAKES OVER. BY MID AFTERNOON. WE START TO COOL THINGS DOWN FARTHER INLAND. NO RELIEF FROM THAT SEA BREEZE. I WOULD EXPECT THOSE TEMPERATURES TO BE IN THE LOW TO MID 90S, AND IT’S GOING TO STAY THERE THROUGHOUT THE DAY FOR YOUR MONDAY AND CONTINUING INTO TUESDAY WEDNESDAY. THEN WE MAY GET SOME RELIEF TURNING TOWARD THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. SO HOT WITH A LITTLE BIT MORE HUMIDITY OUT THERE OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. YOU SEE THIS COLD FRONT JUST OFF INTO THE DISTANCE. THAT’S WHAT’S GOING TO COOL US DOWN THROUGHOUT THE SECOND HALF OF OUR WORKWEEK, AND MAYBE GIVE US A CHANCE FOR A anthem OR MISS SHOWER OR STORM, BUT NOT FOR EVERYONE. JUST A FEW LOCATIONS. KEEP THAT IN MIND. IT WILL BE A HOT STRETCH UPCOMING. WE’VE HAD A NICE BREAK FROM SOME OF THE HEAT, BUT THAT ALL COMES TO AN END STARTING TODAY. 92 DEGREES FOR A DAYTIME HIGH TOMORROW 94 ON TUESDAY. SAME GOES FOR WEDNESDAY. SO THE TWO HOTTEST DAYS OUT OF THE NEXT SEVERAL GOING TO BE TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. THURSDAY. I THINK MOST LOCATIONS STRUGGLE TO GET TO THAT 90 DEGREE MARK. AS FAR AS RAIN CHANCES GO. REALLY GOING TO BE WEDNESDAY NIGHT HEADING INTO THURSDAY WITH A anthem OR MISS STORM CHANCE AT BEST. TURNING A LITTLE BIT COOLER BEHIND THIS FRONT THOUGH, ESPECIALLY HEADING INTO FRIDAY, IT’S GOING TO FEEL COMFORTABLE, BUT STILL JUST A TOUCH OF HUMIDITY. SO HERE ARE OUR RAIN CHANCES WE’RE TALKING ABOUT WEDNESDAY. HEADING INTO THURSDAY, YOU CAN SEE THE BEST CHANCE FOR ANY RAIN REALLY GOING TO BE WEST OF THE CITY, OUT TOWARD WESTERN MASS, POSSIBLY EVEN NEW YORK. WE’RE ALSO KEEPING A CLOSE EYE ON THE TROPICS. WE HAVE BEEN TRACKING TROPICAL WAVE MOVING OFF THE WESTERN COAST OF AFRICA. THIS HAS ABOUT A 80% CHANCE OF DEVELOPMENT, SO THIS WILL BE POTENTIALLY THE NEXT NAMED STORM. THE NEXT NAME ON THE LIST IS ERIN. WE’LL HAVE TO SEE EXACTLY WHERE IT’S HEADED AFTER THAT. BUT STILL QUITE A WAYS AWAY FROM THE CONTINENTAL U.S. TOMORROW LOOKS LIKE A SUNNY DAY AND A HOT DAY. TUESDAY. MORE OF THE SAME. EVEN HOTTER WEDNESDAY, ESPECIALLY IN OUR EVENING HOURS. WE HAVE THAT CHANCE FOR AN ISOLATED STORM OR TWO. THE FARTHER WEST YOU HAPPEN TO

“Another potential heat wave for inland spots with a chance for 90° temps through Wednesday.” StormTeam 5 meteorologist David Williams. “Hottest days ahead will be Tuesday and Wednesday with many spots climbing into the low to mid 90s along with some humidity.”

Humidity begins to increase on Sunday night with temperatures expected in the 90s on Monday, however that sea breeze is expected to remain in place, keeping Boston and areas along the coast in the 80s. Inland areas are expected to see temperatures in the 90s on Monday and continuing through the rest of the week.

While the humidity rises, the chance of rain will not. We’re looking to stay mainly dry with only a small chance of spotty showers Wednesday night into Thursday morning.

“Best chance for rain arrives Wednesday night into Thursday on a anthem or miss basis so it will not be a widespread chance. ” Cicalese said. “Looks cooler to end the work week and head into the weekend.”
