Our skies remain mostly clear this evening, the chance for isolated showers and storms remains along the Canadian border. But the oppressive humidity increases tomorrow along with a cold front approaching, the chance for showers and thunderstorms will increase Sunday afternoon in northern New England into Monday afternoon in southern New England.
We’ve placed two first alert stamps on the 10-day forecast. One for Sunday due to the dangerous heat, possibly reaching heat records and feeling near 105 degrees for some.
Our other First Alert is for the strong to severe thunderstorms through Monday. The primary threats for now are the damaging wind gusts and heavy rainfall. Some localized flooding may happen.
