Boston, MA — Very warm and humid conditions will dominate Massachusetts and surrounding areas today, with high temperatures reaching close to 90°F in several cities. According to the National Weather Service, scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms will impact the south coast and Cape Cod this morning, with a transition to stronger thunderstorms expected in the late afternoon and evening.
The intense heat will be felt across much of the state, with cities like Springfield, Hartford, and New Haven all seeing highs around 90°F. Along with the heat, the air will feel particularly muggy, making conditions uncomfortable for outdoor activities. By late afternoon, strong thunderstorms are expected to develop ahead of a cold front, potentially bringing heavy downpours and gusty winds.
Travelers should be prepared for sudden changes in weather, especially on roadways where reduced visibility due to rain or strong winds could create hazardous conditions. Areas near Providence, Cape Cod, and the south coast will be especially vulnerable to thunderstorms this morning.
By tonight, temperatures will cool, but conditions may remain unsettled. The cold front’s passage could bring a sharp drop in temperatures, providing some relief from the summer heat.
Stay tuned for further updates as thunderstorms continue to develop. Warnings may be issued as the storm system intensifies.
