Extreme heat today may challenge June monthly record highs at several sites: 📍BOS: 100°F (2021/1952/1925) 📍ORH: 98°F (1952) 📍PVD: 98°F (1945/1943) 📍BDL: 100°F (1964/1952) Heat indices 100–110°F. Excessive Heat Warnings & Air Quality Alerts remain in effect. #MAwx #RIwx #CTwx
Meanwhile, watch for a true late-day high temp at Boston Logan, higher than what'll show on the afternoon CLI product. Sitting on 81 with an ESE wind because of the seabreeze. HRRR is often a good estimator of when the seabreeze kicks to a SW wind, today it's ~23-00z / 7-8 PM.
If using first-order stations like ASOS/AWOS sites as a gage of regionally-representative conditions, looks like Hartford/Brainerd Airport takes the trophy for highest heat index at 115.
I can’t seem to ever have a “normal” night shift!
[Occasional 🌩️ This AM] Cluster of intense ⛈️ is moving thru central NY State & will pass well to our west. But active lightning is occurring well to its east, shown by purple & blue areas on this radar loop. While showers are expected, you could still see lightning thru late-AM!
