Good afternoon, No real changes to the expected heat index values Tuesday and Wednesday did extend the Heat Advisory to more of MA Wednesday. Relief from the heat and humidity is still on track for Thursday, Friday and Saturday, with a return to seasonable temperatures and much more comfortable humidity. We included the graphic of the Heat Advisory as well as the expected Heat Indices Tuesday and Wednesday. We also should mention there is the risk for mainly afternoon and evening scattered showers and thunderstorms Tuesday. The activity may be more widespread later Wednesday into Wednesday night as a cold front crosses the region. There also is the potential for scattered strong to severe thunderstorms during the afternoon and evening of both Tuesday and Wednesday.

Good morning everyone! The only change to the forecast was to add northern Worcester county to the Heat Advisory. Otherwise...the Heat Advisory remains in effect through Wednesday for all but the Cape/Islands and Berkshires. Relief from the heat and humidity is still on track for Thursday, Friday and Saturday with a return to seasonable temperatures and much more comfortable humidity. We included the graphic of the Heat Advisory as well as the expected Heat Indices today, Tuesday and Wednesday. We also should mention there is the risk for mainly afternoon and evening scattered showers and thunderstorms today and Tuesday. The activity may be more widespread later Wednesday into Wednesday night as a cold front crosses the region. There is the risk for isolated strong to severe thunderstorms later today and we have included a graphic for that. There also is the potential for scattered strong to severe thunderstorms Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon & evening. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. Thank You!

[2024.07.14 AM] NWS Boston EM Briefing Dangerous Heat & Humidity Monday through Wednesday
by BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account 14 Jul '24

14 Jul '24

Good Afternoon All, The forecast remains consistent with previous updates regarding the heat and humidity building into the region tomorrow through Wednesday. The most significant change with this update is that the Excessive Heat Watch for Tuesday has been converted to a Heat Advisory. Thus, there is a heat advisory in place for much of the region tomorrow through Tuesday. The Heat Advisory extends into Wednesday for northern Connecticut, northern Rhode Island, and portions of SE Massachusetts. The attached graphic shows the maximum extent of the heat advisory, which will be on Tuesday. Please find graphics attached showing the expected heat indices through Wednesday, as well as high temperatures on Monday and Tuesday. Thank you, Matt Belk and Kristie Smith If you have any questions or would like more information, please don't hesitate to contact us.

[2024.07.14 AM] NWS Boston EM Briefing Dangerous Heat & Humidity Monday through Wednesday
by BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account 14 Jul '24

14 Jul '24

Good morning everyone... No changes have been made to any of the Heat Headlines early this morning. A Heat Advisory remains in effect Monday for much off the region excluding the south coast and the higher terrain. An Excessive Heat Watch is in effect Tuesday for the potential for Heat Indices to reach or exceed 105 degrees, particularly across the CT and Merrimack River Valleys and across MetroWest. This watch does NOT include the Cape and Islands. This watch will be converted to either a heat advisory or excessive heat warning in future updates depending on forecast trends. On Wednesday, Heat Indices will likely reach between 100 and 105+ degrees. Later shifts will have to consider adding Wednesday to the Excessive Heat Watch or at the very least a Heat Advisory will be needed. Regardless of what Headlines are in effect...the main idea is that dangerous Heat and Humidity is on tap for the Monday through Wednesday time frame. We also will have to watch for the potential of scattered showers and thunderstorms...particularly during the afternoon and evening hours each day. There will be some severe weather/localized flood potential that will have to be evaluated as well in future updates. The good news is the heat and humidity will come to an end by Thursday with seasonable temperatures and lower humidity right through Saturday. Attached are the graphics of our current Heat Headlines as well as the forecasted maximum Heat Index for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. Thank You! Meteorologist: Hayden Frank If you have any questions or would like more information, please don't hesitate to contact us.

13 Jul '24

Good afternoon all, With the threat for localized flooding over and rain moving off the coast, our attention turns to the dangerous heat and humidity that will build into the region Monday. This heat is expected to peak on Tuesday, and may persist through Wednesday; though, we expect a cold front to swing through the region late Wednesday/Thursday which, depending on timing, could impact heat index values on Wednesday afternoon. On Monday, heat index values are expected to climb to between 95-100F across the region; excluding the immediate coastline and the high terrain of western and central Massachusetts. We have issued a Heat Advisory for much of the interior from 8 AM to 8 PM Monday. On Tuesday, heat index values have the potential to exceed 105F, particularly across the CT and Merrimack River Valleys and across MetroWest. Given this potential, we have issued an Excessive Heat Watch from 8AM to 8PM Tuesday, which does NOT include the Cape and Islands. This watch will be converted to either a heat advisory or excessive heat warning in future updates depending on forecast trends. On Wednesday, there is a high likelihood that heat index values will again exceed 95-100F if the cold front is delayed until the evening hours, thus, there will likely be heat headlines issued by later shifts to encompass Wednesday. Confidence in heat index values of 105F or greater on Wednesday was not high enough at this time to extend the Excessive Heat Watch.

[2024.07.13 AM] NWS Boston EM Briefing Localized Flooding Today Followed By Dangerous Heat & Humidity Monday through Wednesday
by BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account 13 Jul '24

13 Jul '24

Good morning everyone A Flood Watch remains in effect today for most of southern New England...excluding the Cape and Islands. Showers and a few thunderstorms will bring the risk for localized flooding. The greatest risk for this appears to be south of the MA Turnpike...where localized areas may see 1 to 2 inches of rain within an hour. While any flooding will be localized...the greatest risk exists if these heavier bands occur over any vulnerable urban center. Otherwise...the main concern shifts to the return of Dangerous Heat and Humidity for the first half of next week. The heat will begin to return on Sunday, but the greater concern will be in the Monday through Wednesday time frame when the humidity arrives too. This is when afternoon Heat Indices of 95 to 105 degrees are expected...with Tuesday and Wednesday expected to be the worst of the heat and humidity. A cold front will bring relief from the Heat and Humidity by Thursday and Friday. Attached is a brief one-pager detailing the localized flood threat today, followed by the Dangerous Heat and Humidity during the first half of the upcoming week. We have attached the expected Heat Indices for Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns! Thank You!

[2024.07.12 AM] NWS Boston EM Briefing Flood Watch Overnight Into Saturday & Dangerous Heat Next Week
by BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account 12 Jul '24

12 Jul '24

Good morning everyone... A Flood Watch has been issued for much of southern New England overnight into Saturday...except for Cape Cod and the Islands. Showers and embedded thunderstorms with pockets of torrential rainfall are expected to develop overnight into Saturday. While rain amounts may vary considerably over short distances...there is the potential for very localized 2" rainfall amounts in just 1 hour and 3-4" within 3 hours. This will result in the potential for localized flash flooding...particularly if this were to fall over vulnerable urban centers. In addition...another extended period of Dangerous Heat and Humidity is expected in the Sunday through Wednesday time frame. Afternoon Heat Indices of 95-100+ degrees are likely much of the time and Heat Headlines will once again be needed. We have attached a brief one pager highlighting the potential concerns and a separate image of the Flood Watch. We also included the expected afternoon Heat Indices in the Sunday through Wednesday time frame. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns! Thank You!

Good afternoon everyone, While tomorrow will continue to be warm and humid, the Heat Advisory has only been extended for portions of northeast MA where the highest heat indices are expected. The forecast for today remains on track, with the vast majority of the region remaining dry, but we can't rule out an isolated strong to severe storm in northwest MA.
