comes out every day and measures the level at darby pond, the pond helps officials determine the levels in the underground well, used for drinking water. the problem, when the pond gets down to a certain level, the town has to deal with two cranberry bogs that it has reduce withdrawal by 50%. >> they have to. it's their business. >> the reporter: public works officials say they have more than enough water. the concern is overworking the entire system to move the water. >> so we're moving water to north and west plymouth to really service that demand and that put weaknessss on the other area. the darby pond well provides 1.25 million gallons of water. now the town can only take about 500,000 gallons. the town declared a water the systemwide demand by a million gallons of water per day. the town is also counting on people to conserve water to just take the burden off the system as a whole. >> if one of our pumps went down, if we had a major water break, and we couldn't move necessary water to meet demand, then we would have to come up with some other means to move water into plymouth. the water level here has to come up at least six inches. the town is also asking the state for a waiver, so they can use the well during fox 25 news. >> vanessa: the rainfall. >> sarah: the rainfall deficit in boston is over 7 inches and in worcester, past 8, so we do definitely have a severe drought situation occurring across more than 60% of the state. extreme drought north and west of boston, and in the plymouth area, sure enough, that moderate drought really causing some problems an when you have very dry witness conditions, the -- dry conditions, the heat and humidity does not help anything. an excessive heat warning continues for the next 15 minutes for the boston area, as well as back towards 495, for heat index values up to 108. that's the combination of high temperatures and humidity, or dewpoints, creating that feels-like condition. otherwise, a heat advisory out there. you're probably wondering, ok, you've got some other colors going on too. i'm going to talk about what's happening right now, because with the heat and humidity, we've also seen showers and thunderstorms blossom, and push through the region. it actually pushed through the boston area, although we're seeing the clouds break apart now, it dropped the temperature, it was in the upper 90's a couple hours ago, temperatures dropped into the 80's. it's now 88, but with the dew point, it feels like the 90's, so hey, if you're headed to the red sox games, be prepared for warm and humid conditions. that heat index in the 90's to near 100, as you travel into the merrimack valley, as well as the seacoast of new hampshire. temperatures there with some sunshine in the upper 80's to low 90's, but you're also noticing the currents conditions, we've got some thunderstorms, a severe thunderstorm in parts of this particular storm, as well as some very heavy rain. we've seen about one to three inches of rain in some localized spots, leading to some flash flooding in parts of connecticut, as well as western rhode island, so we're going to continue to monitor that storm as it pushes southward in to the providence area, even further south. we've got a few showers too along the south shore and in through the cape cod bay, heading towards the arm of the cape, no lightning associated and this storm that's pushing through richmond, new hampshire, we've t do hear thunder, you want to head indoors, but this storm very dangerous that's been pushing through the area as we're going to continue to see the risk of some showers, at least for the next couple hours, but once that sun sets, the severe threat diminishes and then the activity will begin to lessen as we head through the overnight thunderstorms. it's going to be another mile one, as temperatures only fell back into the 70's. you're probably noticing hints of green here by early saturday. there's going to be a front that actually pushes southward into our area, and that means out of wind change direction, and bring some cooler air into the region, with some clouds, so look at the temperatures along the coast. 70's, low 80's, but further west you go, you're still going to see the very hot conditions, and we'll be watching for the risk of more showers and thunderstorms. especially to the north and west, as the day goes on. there is a marginal threat, which means an isolated strong to severe storm is possible with heavy downpours as well as some damaging winds. so futurecast takes you through the afternoon on saturday, you're noticing those showers and storms and then again on sunday, the heat and humidi feels-like conditions, back to 100 degrees, if not higher, and the risk of afternoon and evening showers and storms, finally some relief comes later monday into tuesday, as a cold front will sag to our south. there's the latest look at your forecast. >> after watching last night's preseason other than, how are you feeling about jimmy g. leading the patriots? might be feeling better about hanley ramirez. it looks like this injury might public charter schools are among the best in the country. our charter schools are public, and we have longer school days with more personal attention. we have a proven record of helping students in underperforming areas succeed. announcer: question 2 will expand charter school access and result in more funding for public education. every parent should be able to choose the public school that's best for their child. announcer: vote yes on question 2. >> so football is back. last night's preseason opening win over the saints in foxborough, teased us with some good things that could be in store for the patriots this upcoming season, but with jimmy garoppolo at quarterback for the first four games of a year, will it be a good thing? last not, not exactly convincing either way. garoppolo played the first half, was 11-18 for 168 yards. he did not throw a touchdown for a pick, although this screen to and should have been touchdown pass. jimmy g's first two drives, three and out and he was sacked. it wasn't the start garoppolo or the patriots were looking for but they made adjustments. >> it wasn't our best start, no question, we started slow, which we never want to do, but that's going to happen sometimes. you're not going to always start the right way. it was a good experience, and i've been put in a difficult situation and seeing outraged the guys responded, how everyone responded and i think we reacted in the right way. >> a feel good story last night, definitely run. it was a long time coming. the 25-year-old running back has missed his first two nfl seasons, with major injuries. but the former stanford cardinal has worked hard to get his shot and his coach has noticed. >> nobody worked harder than tyler. he's there early, stays late, you know, never complains, always does extra, yeah, happy for him. happy that he's out there and you know got through the game, and you know, can just keep performance. >> the reporter: not so lucky last night, wide receiver malcollin balester mitchell, the rookie dislocates his elbow on this play when he puts his arm down after making the catch and his elbow just oh, snaps. a bad break for the fourth round pick out of georgia. mitchell was having a good camp so far. he also caught four balls, 55 yards, up to that point last night. expected to be out for four weeks. yes. ouch. red sox and hanley ramirez may have dodged a bullet last night. in the eighth inning, it look like hanley hurt his back pretty badly when he sanchez. hanley awkwardly backed into sanchez' path when he tried to scoop pedroia's low throw. he winced in pain for a while, but hanley is back in the lineup, playing first and batting fifth. red sox send david price to the mound in game one against arizona and he needs to deliver tonight. sox are 0-5 in price's five starts since the all-star break. 49 games left and only 19 are at fenway. they trail the j's by three jays host houston tonight and the orioles are in san francisco and coming up right after this newscast right here

dh'ing and you're going to like it. >> if you head to fenway, it's going upper 90's. heat and humidity, and more showers and storms heading our way this weekend. we'll have the full timeline coming up after the baseball game. >> daniel: thanks for making fox 25 your source for local news. our next newscast is after that game. >> vanessa: we'll see you tonight. introducing dunkin's new cold brew
