Weather Alert: Heat Advisory Today and Friday
 
Good morning. It’s going to be a scorcher the next few days! A “Heat Advisory” has been issued for both today and tomorrow and may be extended into the weekend. We’re expecting the heat index to approach 100 today and to be in the low 100s tomorrow as both the temperatures and the humidity soar. Patchy fog early this morning will quickly clear with hazy sun and rapidly warming temperatures through the 70s and 80s this morning. Highs are expected to reach the low to mid 90s inland this afternoon. Hour-by-Hour // A look at the next hours’ conditions » On the plus side, the winds will pick up through the day, with breezy southwest winds gusting to 20mph in the afternoon. Those winds will keep the coast about 10 degrees cooler than inland areas, making it a nice beat the heat at the beach. Ocean, Bay & Beach // A look at the conditions by the coast » As we head into Friday, we’ll be keeping an eye on a weak cold front that will be approaching southern New England and then stalling out over the area on Saturday, acting as the focus for scattered showers and thunderstorms. The risk of storms in our area is low through tonight and early tomorrow, but chances go up Friday afternoon and evening. These storms will be hit or miss, but for those communities that do get them, expect some heavy downpours. If you have outdoor plans on Saturday, you’ll need to be prepared for a few pop-up showers and thunderstorms again in the afternoon. If you’re looking for signs of change, look to the middle of next week. That’s when the heat and humidity finally start to wane. Until then, the stifling hot and humid weather continues through …
