MA Heat Wave: Here's How Hot It Will Get

MASSACHUSETTS — The thunderstorms and rain will mostly clear out and make way for hot conditions later this week, according to the National Weather Service. Three straight days of 90-plus-degree temperatures are possible in parts of the state.

Heat advisories are possible for Southern New England Thursday. Humidity is expected to be a factor as well with dewpoints in the lower 70s that will contribute to heat indices into the mid-90s.

Sea breezes will help it feel somewhat cooler near the coast, according to the National Weather Service.

The weekend sees a bit of a reprieve with highs predicted in the mid-80s. However, the National Weather Service notes conditions are "trending toward a more wet/unsettled pattern during the second half of the weekend." A chance of showers is forecast for Sunday afternoon.
