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!
