Good morning, Outlined below are potential weather hazards for the coming week. The details may shift a little during the week, but we have confidence that they will occur. Both weather events may require headlines to be issued. *1.) Remnants of Barry.* *What ...* Heavy downpours are possible from late Wednesday through Thursday, as the remnants of Hurricane Barry pass south of Southern New England. Along with the downpours, scattered thunderstorms will occur. Heavy downpours may cause flooding of poor-drainage areas. *Where ... *All areas of Southern New England could be affected. At this time, the best chance of the downpours will be across Northern Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Southeast Massachusetts. *When ... *Initial showers will arrive in Western Massachusetts and Adjacent Connecticut Wednesday morning. The heaviest showers and thunderstorms will take place between 6 PM Wednesday evening and 6 PM Thursday evening. *Forecast Uncertainty ... *Initial thunderstorms Wednesday may favor Northern Massachusetts, as a cold front moves south. The track of the remnants will determine the location of the heaviest rain.

Weekend heat and humidity* *What ...* Hot and humid weather will move into Southern New England behind the remnants of Hurricane Barry. Temperatures will reach the 90s each day, with some places reaching 100F on Saturday. Dew points will be 70 to 75 during this time. This means heat index values will be 95F to 103F on Friday and Sunday, and 100F to 107F on Saturday. *Where ...* All areas of Southern New England away from the immediate coastline could be affected. *When ... *Highest values will be during the afternoon and evening of Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Saturday will be the hottest day, with appreciable heat and humidity on Friday and Sunday as well. A warning or advisory may be needed* for one or all of these days.* *Forecast Uncertainty ...* Temperatures and dew points for these days may shift higher or lower than the forecast, which would change the heat index values higher or lower.
