Following is an update on the continued expectation of summerlike heat and humidity expected to develop over most of Southern New England early to mid this week. 

Warming trend to temperatures begins today, with heat indices in the upper 80s to lower 90s today and Monday. We expect even warmer weather to develop by Tuesday and continue into Wednesday, with mid to possibly upper 90s heat indices both days. The highest heat indices are expected away from the southern and eastern coasts. 

While confidence continues to grow on heat index values at least approaching Heat Advisory levels, there is still a level of uncertainty on the exact heat index values. Thus there are no heat-related headlines currently active, however Heat Advisories may be needed in the next day or two for portions of Southern New England.
