[Weather] [2022.05.20 100 PM UPDATE] NWS Boston EM Briefing: Weekend summer heat & humidity, Strong Storms Possible Sunday

[BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account]

Good afternoon everyone,

We're still finalizing the forecast but we did want to send a short update
to the briefing sent this morning to discuss our current thinking. Expect a
full briefing with updated graphics to be sent by 5 PM today.

*Heat and Humidity Saturday and Sunday*

We are not anticipating any significant changes to the heat and humidity
forecast for the weekend to what was briefed this morning.

The first occurrence of true mid-summer heat and humidity arrives Saturday
and continues into Sunday. Heat Advisories remain in effect for areas away
from the coastlines and away from the Berkshires. Air temperatures in the
90s with heat indices between 95 and 102 degrees.

*Confidence in the heat forecast is high*.

*Strong to Severe Storms Possible Sunday Afternoon*

Widely scattered strong to severe thunderstorms are possible Sunday
afternoon, especially across northern & western CT into western & central
MA. Localized straight line wind damage and hail would be the greatest
risks in any strong to severe storms which develop.

Attached is the Severe Thunderstorm Outlook for Sunday from the Storm
Prediction Center.

*Confidence in the thunderstorm forecast is moderate*. The overall coverage
of thunderstorms is the largest question mark.

Thank You!

Meteorologists: Andrew Loconto and Kevin Cadima
