[BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account]

Good afternoon.

Little has changed since this morning's briefing. Another day of dangerous
heat is expected Tuesday along with isolated severe thunderstorms.

*What: *Heat Advisory for heat indices of 95 to 104

*Where & When:*

   - Tuesday - All of southern New England except for the Berkshires,
   Franklin, western Hampshire and western Hampden counties, Nantucket,
   Martha's Vineyard, and Block Island.
   - The heat will be exacerbated by the duration of this event with record
   highs possible again Tuesday.  In addition, record breaking warmth is
   possible tonight when minimum temperatures may only fall to 75 to 80
   degrees in the urban centers including Boston and Hartford.

Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible across southern New England on
Tuesday as a cold front slides in. The time frame is from late morning into
the afternoon.

The main threats with any stronger storms are damaging winds and minor
street flooding.

Images attached include the heat index forecast for Tuesday, the severe
weather outlook for Tuesday, and current Heat Advisories (note this is
