Video: Intense heat to continue; Beryl to impact New England

NOT THAT YESTERDAY WAS ANY GREAT PICNIC, BUT HUMIDITY IS VERY HIGH TODAY. IT WILL BE VERY HIGH TOMORROW. IT MAY DROP OFF A LITTLE BIT TOWARD THE LATER PART OF THE WEEK. NOT A LOT, BUT A LITTLE BIT. SO WE’LL GET THE DEW POINTS DOWN IN THE 60S AS OPPOSED TO THE 70S WHERE THEY’RE AT RIGHT NOW. ALL RIGHT. OBVIOUSLY BECAUSE OF ALL THE HEAT AND HUMIDITY OUT THERE, THE HEAT INDEX 95 TO 100 DEGREES, THAT’S WHAT IT FEELS LIKE. AND THAT’S WHY WE HAVE A HEAT ADVISORY, NOT ONLY FOR THIS EVENING BUT FOR TOMORROW. AND, YOU KNOW WHAT? WE COULD PROBABLY JUST EXTEND IT ALL THE WAY TO THURSDAY AND FRIDAY BEFORE THE WEEK IS OVER WITH THE ONLY EXCEPTION BEING DOWN HERE TO THE SOUTH WITH THE SOUTHWESTERLY BREEZE, YOU GET A LITTLE COOLING OFF OF THE OCEAN, BUT IT’S STILL REALLY MUGGY AIR THAT WE’RE TALKING ABOUT. IN ADDITION TO THAT, AIR QUALITY IS NOT VERY GOOD. AIR QUALITY ALERT IS OUT UNTIL 11:00 TONIGHT, SO IF YOU THINK ABOUT, SAY, GOING FOR AN EVENING JOG, YOU MIGHT WANT TO HOLD OFF ON IT. BEST TIME DURING THIS KIND OF WEATHER IS EARLY IN THE MORNING. THAT’S WHEN YOU’RE HAVING YOUR COOLEST AIR THAT WE HAVE OUT THERE, AND ALSO THE BETTER AIR QUALITY AS WELL. SO YOU SEE WHAT’S HAPPENING ON THE SATELLITE PICTURE? NOT MUCH. WE HAVE THIS ONE LITTLE CELL THAT KIND OF BLOSSOMED UP OVER ALBANY, MARCHED ITS WAY DOWN ROUTE TWO, BUT SO FAR IS STAYING PRETTY MUCH SUB SEVERE. WE HAD IT A LITTLE BIT STRONGER EARLIER, BUT YOU CAN SEE THE TREND HERE. AND REALLY WITH THAT SOUTHWESTERLY WIND BRINGING IN THAT WARM AIR, THE HUMIDITY IS GOING TO BE ENOUGH THAT IT’S GOING TO HOLD THIS THING DOWN JUST A LITTLE BIT. SO I THINK AS IT GETS CLOSER AND CLOSER TO 495, YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENS. IT KIND OF FALLS APART A LITTLE STRONGER. CELLS UP NEAR KEENE RIGHT NOW AND ALSO JUST NORTH OF MANCHESTER, NEW HAMPSHIRE. WE’LL KEEP AN EYE ON THOSE. BUT YOU CAN SEE THE TREND HERE A LITTLE BIT STRONGER AND THEN KIND OF FADING AWAY. BUT THESE DO HAVE A TENDENCY TO PULSE. SO WE’LL WATCH TO SEE THAT. THAT’S WHY THAT THREAT I’M GOING TO KEEP IT GOING UNTIL ABOUT SUNSET TONIGHT. MOST OF US WON’T SEE ANYTHING, BUT THE THREAT WILL BE OUT THERE AFTER THE SUN GOES DOWN, GOES AWAY AND OVERNIGHT TONIGHT, PARTLY CLOUDY AND ONCE AGAIN, AS YOU SAW THIS MORNING, LAST COUPLE OF MORNINGS, SOUTH COASTAL AREAS, CAPE AND THE ISLANDS. YOU MAY HAVE SOME PATCHY FOG. ONCE AGAIN THERE’S THE VIEW OVER THE CITY RIGHT NOW. THAT HAZE OUT THERE, BECAUSE HUMIDITY IS SO HIGH. YOU KNOW, WE GET THOSE BRILLIANT BLUE SKIES WHEN THAT HUMIDITY IS LOW AND THE DEW POINTS DOWN, SAY IN THE 40S AND 30S. WELL, DEW POINTS IN THE LOW 70S AS REALLY MUGGY AIR FOR US. THAT MAKES THE HEAT INDEX OR HOW IT FEELS OUT THERE MAKES IT FEEL LIKE 96 DEGREES IN BOSTON RIGHT NOW. AND WORCESTER, SAME THING. YOU’VE GOT THE HAZE OUT THERE. PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES, 87 DEGREES. DEW POINT IS 70. MAKES IT FEEL LIKE AT 92 OUT THERE. THAT’S WHY I SAY TAKE IT EASY THIS EVENING. SO THE HUMIDITY IS GOING TO STAY UP THERE AS WE HEAD THROUGH WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY IT DROPS OFF A LITTLE BIT AS WE HEAD TOWARD THE WEEKEND. AND BY A LITTLE BIT, I MEAN, WE GO FROM THE TROPICAL RANGE INTO WHAT WE CALL VERY STICKY RANGE. SO NOT A BIG IMPROVEMENT THAT’S GOING TO BE TAKING PLACE THERE. SO FOR TONIGHT WE’VE GOT A FEW ISOLATED EVENING THUNDERSTORMS. OTHERWISE MOSTLY CLOUDY AND MUGGY 70 TO 74 FOR YOUR OVERNIGHT LOW. AND TOMORROW PARTLY CLOUDY. HOT AND HUMID. COULD BE AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM. BEST CHANCE FOR THAT IS GOING TO BE ACTUALLY TO THE NORTH, AND MOST OF US WON’T SEE ANYTHING OUT OF IT. SO A SPOT THUNDERSTORM POSSIBLE TOMORROW. THURSDAY AGAIN, THERE MAY BE A FEW POP UP THUNDERSTORMS THAT ARE OUT THERE, BUT NOT A BIG, BIG EVENT. FRIDAY. IT’S JUST HOT AND HUMID. WE’RE RIGHT AROUND 90 DEGREES AGAIN. YOU KNOW, AS I LOOK AT THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS, REALLY THE BEST CHANCE FOR SEEING RAIN LOOKS TO ME TO BE ON SATURDAY. AND ON SATURDAY I WOULD SAY THE FIRST HALF OF THE DAY AND SOUTH THE PIKE WOULD BE THE BEST CHANCE FOR SOME RAIN, BUT OTHERWISE YOU CAN LOOK ACROSS THE BOARD AND SEE TEMPERATURES NEAR 90. HUMIDITY IS GOING TO STAY HIGH, DROPS OFF A LITTLE BIT LATER THIS WEEK, BUT NOT ENOUGH THAT YOU’RE GOING TO FEEL COMFOR
