New England Heatwave Warning | Boston News

New England braces for a brutal weekend of heat and humidity, with temps hitting the low 90s and dew points soaring into the mid-70s—making it feel like South Florida. The heat index could climb to 99–100 degrees, especially inland, while heat advisories cover most of Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and parts of New Hampshire, Connecticut, and Maine. Stay hydrated, wear sunscreen, and avoid the hottest hours. Overnight lows will stay uncomfortably warm in the mid-70s. A strong Bermuda High and jet stream ridge are fueling this heat and triggering scattered afternoon thunderstorms, particularly north and west of I-495—with Boston seeing a few isolated storms too. Saturday and Sunday will bring more highs in the upper 80s to low 90s, with heat index in the mid-90s until drier air arrives late Sunday. Expect pop-up showers both days as a front moves through. Heat stress remains a major concern—stay safe. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
