Boston, MA, and surrounding areas are experiencing very warm and humid conditions today, with high temperatures reaching near 90°F in several cities.
According to the National Weather Service, scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms will affect the south coast and Cape Cod this morning, with stronger thunderstorms expected later in the afternoon and evening.
The heat will be widespread across Massachusetts, including cities like Springfield, Hartford, and New Haven, where highs will also hover around 90°F. Along with the heat, the humidity will make conditions feel particularly muggy, which could lead to discomfort for outdoor activities.
Strong thunderstorms are forecast to develop in the late afternoon as a cold front moves in, bringing the potential for heavy downpours and gusty winds.
Travelers are advised to prepare for sudden weather changes, especially on the roadways where reduced visibility due to rain and strong winds could make conditions hazardous.
Areas such as Providence, Cape Cod, and the south coast are most vulnerable to thunderstorms this morning.
Temperatures are expected to cool by tonight, but conditions could remain unsettled. The passage of the cold front may provide some relief from the intense heat but could also lead to further changes in weather.
Stay tuned for updates as thunderstorms develop and warnings may be issued if conditions intensify.
