It’s going to be another hot and humid day for many with heat index values climbing into the middle to upper 90s in southern NH and parts of northeast MA where a heat advisory is in effect again today. Otherwise, thunder should be fairly limited today, though a hit or miss storm is possible, particularly in northern and central New England this afternoon. Details in the video – or in written form below!
The humidity remains high today, but it’s a bit less oppressive than yesterday. Dew points were well into the 70s, but they’ve come down just a notch. If you’re sensitive to humidity, you will notice the slight difference today. There’s high surf too, so use caution at the beaches. Waves are between four to seven feet in some spots, increasing the risk of rip currents.
We are still monitoring localized flooding in far northern New England with some areas seeing over 4 inches of rain in the past 24 hours. Burlington, St. Johnsbury, and Berlin, New Hampshire, have all recorded significant rainfall, extending into north-central Maine. Areas of flooding continues in these areas, and any additional rain today with a pop-up thunderstorm will only exacerbate the issue.
Areas of rain and localized flooding will be possible Friday night into part of Saturday in southern New England. Sunday looks dry and hot again with highs around 90. For more on the weekend in detail, stay tuned for our upcoming 1°Outside Insights video.
