We are still expecting very hot and humid conditions today as well as scattered severe thunderstorms this afternoon. Attached are the one-page briefing, heat graphics, and experimental timing graphics for the thunderstorms this afternoon in Boston, Hartford, Worcester, and Providence.</div><div><br></div><div>
<strong>Severe Thunderstorms:</strong><br>
The greatest risk for severe storms is between 3 PM and 10 PM, primarily
across interior southern New England. The threat diminishes farther
east. The main hazard continues to be damaging straight-line wind gusts, with large
hail and a brief tornado as secondary threats. Localized torrential
downpours may also result in street flooding, particularly in urban
areas.</div><div><br></div><div>
<strong>Heat and Humidity:</strong><br>
Heat and humidity will peak during the early to mid-afternoon, with heat
index values in the upper 90s to lower 100s. A Heat Advisory will go into effect at 11 AM for northern Connecticut, northern Rhode Island, and much of
Massachusetts—excluding the Berkshires, south coast, and Cape/Islands. </div><div><br></div><div>This will be the last briefing for this event.</div><div><br></div><div>Meteorologists: Emily McMinn and Andrew Loconto</div><div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-size:small"><br></span></div><div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-size:small">If you have any questions or would like more information, please </span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-size:small">don't hesitate to contact us.
