[Weather] [2022.08.02 PM] NWS Boston EM Briefing: Oppressive Heat & Humidity Thursday and Friday

[BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account]

Good afternoon everyone,

Attached is a one page briefing regarding the oppressive heat and humidity
that are on tap for Thursday and Friday. Heat Advisories have already been
issued for all of Southern New England; excluding Berkshire county as well
as the Cape and Islands. Heat Indices are expected to generally reach
between 100 and 105 degrees Thursday and Friday. It appears that Friday
will be more humid and the potential exists for a few spots to see Heat
Indices reach between 105 and 107 degrees. If that occurs; we may
eventually need to upgrade portions of the region to an Excessive Heat
Warning for Friday.

While it will not be not quite as oppressive this weekend into early next
week, heat and humidity is expected to continue. Heat Indices may still
reach into the middle to upper 90s and may require the issuance of
additional Heat Advisories.

Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.

Meteorologists: Hayden Frank and Andrew Loconto
