[Weather] [2023.09.02 AM] NWS Boston EM Briefing - Heat and Humidity To Return Early Next Week

[BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account]

Good morning,


We  wanted to provide you with an update on the weather forecast,
especially for the upcoming week.


As mentioned in our previous email, it appears that we are in for a return
of summertime heat in the early to mid-part of next week. While there
hasn't been significant change in the forecast, our confidence in this is
increasing. Afternoon temperatures are expected to climb back into the
middle and upper 80s, with isolated areas possibly reaching the lower 90s.
Alongside this, we anticipate rising dewpoint temperatures and elevated
relative humidity levels, which will make it feel like temperatures are in
the low to mid-90s on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.


We kindly request that you continue to monitor your emails over the weekend
for any further updates. While no official advisories have been issued at
this time, it's not beyond the realm of possibility that a Heat Advisory
may become necessary for select areas of southern New England.


Attached below, you will find the maximum heat index forecast, indicating
the highest expected heat index values.


For your reference, here are the criteria for a Heat Advisory:

   - Daytime heat indices of 95°F to 99°F for two or more hours over two
   consecutive days, or
   - 100°F to 104°F for two or more hours over one day.


We will issue another update email by 5:00 AM on Sunday to keep you
informed about any developments.


Thank you for your continued attention to this matter,

Torry Dooley and Andrew Loconto
