First Alert weather continues in New England for this afternoon through the evening with strong thunderstorms expected.  With a few light showers at times this morning and early afternoon, these thunderstorms will drop heavy rainfall as they feed off increasingly sultry, moisture-laden air, which is delivering clouds stubbornly breaking for sun. Some storms will grow strong enough for locally...

New England sits on the cusp of significantly more humid air to our southwest, but remains in comfort for one more day. Nonetheless, being on the battle zone of two different air masses means variable clouds through the day with the most significant periods of sunshine during the afternoon to early evening.  Aloft, there’s enough dry air to preclude thunderstorm...

We’re in the middle of some intense summer heat and humidity for the next several days.

Early morning showers and thunder Friday heralded the arrival of sticky air that will remain in New England until the passage of a cold front Saturday afternoon.  For the time-being, clouds are stubborn Friday morning and midday, and won’t give way to sun in far Southern New England today. Communities farther north, though, will find sun burning through the...

Clouds increasing across New England Tuesday won’t deliver sprinkles for most communities until late afternoon or early evening, as dry air undercuts the clouds for several hours of the day.  Temperatures will climb to around or above 70 degrees inland, while a sea breeze holds temperatures in the 60s at the coast. That’s still a noteworthy rebound from early...

We continue to see the heat and humidity build across New England. Overnight lows the next few nights will be warm in the 70s and 80s and it stays humid, so don’t count on relief from the heat then. There are a few thunderstorms across upstate New York that may travel to western Massachusetts and Connecticut tonight, otherwise, we may...

There is no question it will be hot today, but it certainly won’t be atypical. Records may be set, but the heat and humidity are relatively average for late Spring.

Wednesday started sunny for many, but an approaching disturbance coupled with a warm front delivers clouds and scattered, mostly light showers during the afternoon and evening.
