.WHAT HAS CHANGED...
The slight risk (level 2 of 5) of severe weather today remains in 
effect for far western CT and MA. The chance of severe weather also 
remains low, but not zero, for eastern MA/RI.

&&

.KEY MESSAGES...

- Heat Advisories advisories remain in effect for northern
  CT, central and northern RI, and most of MA through 8pm this
  evening.

- A few scattered strong to severe thunderstorms are
  possible this afternoon and evening. 

- Above normal temperatures continue into early next week, but humidity
  will be on the decrease. The weekend looks mostly dry with 
  the next round of showers and thunderstorms Sunday night, some
  of which could be strong.

- Cooldown to more seasonable temperatures with drier weather 
  for early next week.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...Heat Advisories advisories remain in effect for
northern CT and much of interior MA from noon today to 8pm 
Friday.

The worst of the heat and humidity peaks today away from the 
coastline. Temperatures soar into the mid 90s inland (low to mid
80s across the eastern coastal communities with onshore flow). 
Dewpoints near 70 combined with the high heat and sunny skies 
will lead to "feel like" temperatures in the upper 90s to near 
100 (in the CT River Valley) this afternoon. Therefore, the Heat
Advisory remains in effect through this evening.

KEY MESSAGE 2...A few scattered strong to severe thunderstorms 
are possible this afternoon and evening.

The lingering hot and humid airmass clashing with a mid-level 
shortwave over southern Quebec and northern New England will 
provide enough lift to produce a few rounds of thunderstorms 
today. Earliest storms are likely to pop over eastern MA and RI 
along a stagnating sea breeze boundary this afternoon. A 
secondary round of thunderstorms, with the highest change of 
becoming severe, likely fires later in the evening over western 
MA and CT as a cold front approaches. Some uncertainty remains 
this morning in exactly how far east storms could push, as the 
latest suite of guidance is indicating CAPE values upwards of 
1200 J/kg quickly decaying around sunset. Model soundings 
continue to show DCAPE values near or above 1000 as well as 
PWATs 1.5-2.0", which lean confidence to the greatest risks with
any storms that do form to be heavy to torrential rainfall as 
well as severe wind gusts. 

KEY MESSAGE 3...Above normal temperatures continue into early 
next week, but humidity will be on the decrease. The weekend 
looks mostly dry with the next round of showers and 
thunderstorms Sunday night, some of which could be strong.

While temperatures remain well into the 80s through the 
weekend, dewpoints will drop to the mid to upper 50s Saturday, 
leading to some much needed relief from the sticky airmass we've
been seeing. A ridging pattern will also move into New England,
bringing generally dry conditions through the weekend.

Expecting the next round of potential showers and thunderstorms
Sunday night into Monday with another approaching cold front. 
Despite the return of southwesterly flow, and thus higher 
dewpoints, guidance is indicating instability remains on the 
lower side, potentially limiting the chances for storms to 
become severe in nature. Regardless, quite confident in at least
showers with some embedded rumbles of thunder.

KEY MESSAGE 4...Early next week could feature a brief cooldown 
to more seasonable temperatures.

Once the cold front from Sunday pushed offshore, 850mb 
temperatures cool to near single digits (C) compared to the 
upper teens we've been seeing. This will help moderate 
temperatures down to the upper 70s or low 80s with lower 
humidity Monday and Tuesday.
