Looking really good out there right now. We have winds out of the southwest. Nay are pumping in the heat and enhanced humidity for toda mid70s. This is nearly unprecedented. These are incredibly high dew point levels. The higher the dew point the more uncomfortable it feels out there. When we get into the mid70s, it is oppress i. That is what you can expect for today. We have that excess excessive heat warning. 105 to 110 degrees for the majority of us. Noon, its 90. By 3 00 this afternoon, 95. Well feel like 107.

Cindy Something Special was happening. We dropped below 70 degrees. I thought i would comment exactly. 69 and the city. Things are changing and is all about this wind coming in off the water. A northeast wind 12 Miles Per Hour bringing down some cooler air. You can see it in beverly where it is 68. The farther north you showing up. You contrast that to near 80 degrees in hartford. There is the boundary working southward. That is quite to be the focus of our weather. There are clouds and showers across the northern new england. Cloud cover in southern new england but we will see that increasing as this front continues to drop southward. On the other side, still very hot and humid. I think the focus of potential Severe Weather is going to be across western new england. Temperatures hold basically in the 70s all day along the coastline. A lot of clouds today. You jump in land and we will still manage the 80s. 97 in hartford today. Well time things out this afternoon. Antoinette thank you.
