New England’s Heat Wave Intensifies | Boston News

New England’s sweltering summer stretch hits its peak Friday, with heat and humidity clinging tight—temperatures soaring into the upper 80s to low 90s, feeling like 100 in spots. Heat advisories are already active and may last through Saturday as this sticky air lingers into next week, possibly marking the region’s third heat wave of the season. Coastal areas offer a slight reprieve with temps in the low to mid-80s and pleasant water temps in the mid-70s, but inland humidity will keep things stifling, potentially hitting mid-90s. Pop-up thunderstorms could pop up west of Boston afternoons, and wildfire smoke may tint the sky with haze from Saturday through Sunday. A breeze and scattered showers arrive Sunday as a front moves through, but muggy air will stick around, especially in Boston, well into the evening.
