Today, central and southern New England are experiencing oppressive heat and humidity. Heat index values are climbing into the upper 90s, with some areas potentially reaching 100°F. Dew points in the low to mid-70s are contributing to a tropical, soupy feel. Northern New England, particularly far northern areas and the south coast, will see some relief with cooler temperatures and lower humidity.
Afternoon and Evening Thunderstorms
The high humidity is setting the stage for afternoon and evening thunderstorms, especially in southern New England. These storms may bring torrential downpours and localized flooding. While not everyone will see a storm, it’s important to stay weather-aware and have a backup plan for outdoor activities. The primary concerns are heavy rain and lightning, with a lower risk of damaging winds.
Overnight and Wednesday Outlook
Overnight, temperatures will drop into the 60s, remaining muggy in southern New England. Northern areas will experience more comfortable conditions. Wednesday morning may start with leftover downpours and thunderstorms, particularly in southern New England. An isolated storm is still possible during the day.
