.SYNOPSIS...
Dangerous heat and humidity through early next week peaks on 
Tuesday. The heat begins to ease on Wednesday then turning cooler 
for the end of the week into next weekend with daily chances of 
showers and possibly a few thunderstorms.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/...
Tonight:

Key Point

* Warm and humid with lows around 70F

Substantial height rises should cap the atmosphere off for the 
remainder of the afternoon and evening, even with 3000-4000 J/kg of 
SBCAPE.  There could be a few weak showers and a rumble or two of 
thunder over the eastern waters this evening, where strong westerly 
winds inland converge with strong southerly winds over the waters. 
Instability is much lower over the water, so its unlikely that 
anything that develops will become severe.  

Temperatures this afternoon have quickly jumped into the upper 80s 
to low 90s behind the showers from this morning. Temperatures could 
climb further into the mid-90s this afternoon before peak diurnal 
heating ends.  There is little relief from the heat tonight, as low 
temperatures only drop into the upper 60s to low 70s.  There could 
be some patchy fog overnight as dewpoints stay near 70F and winds 
become light.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
Key Points

* Dangerous Heat and humidity with heat index values as high as
  115F

* Not much heat relief overnight with lows still near 70F

Tomorrow:

Dangerous heat and humidity continues tomorrow as the upper-
level ridge and heat dome continue to build in southern New 
England. 850mb temperatures will warm to around 20C, which 
will translate to surface temperatures in the upper 90s to even 
near 100F in the CT River Valley. With dewpoints still near 
70F, the heat index, or feels-like temperature, will be between
105F and 115F across western Massachusetts and all of 
Connecticut. Further east, the light pressure gradient and hot 
temperatures will lead to strong sea breezes pushing inland 
across eastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island, resulting in high
temperatures in the low to mid-90s and heat index values 
between 95F and 105F. The only place to escape the heat 
tomorrow will be Cape Cod and the Islands, where high 
temperatures will range from the mid-70s to the low 80s. Skies 
remain mostly sunny with dry conditions as the ridge continues 
to suppress any precip chances.

Tomorrow night: 

A significant part of why a heat wave is so dangerous is that 
overnight temperatures offer little relief from the heat and 
humidity.  Temperatures at midnight on Tuesday will still be in the 
upper 70s to low 80s, and overnight lows will only drop to the low 
to mid-70s.  Dewpoints remain in the 70s overnight, which will keep 
that tropical feel to the airmass overnight.  With southerly flow, 
there could be more widespread low status and dense fog across the 
Cape and Islands and possibly into southeastern Massachusetts and 
Rhode Island.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Key Messages: 

* Peak of the heat will be on Tuesday with dangerously high heat 
  indices 100 to 110 degrees

* Heat diminishes Wed but still hot away from the coast, then 
  cooler for late in the week and weekend

* A few showers and t-storms possible Wed with locally heavy 
  downpours

* Daily chances of showers and perhaps a few t-storms Thu through Sun

The dangerous heat peaks on Tue as anomalous mid level ridge builds 
over the mid Atlc region. 850 mb temps around 22C and 925 mb 
temps up to 28C are about as high as you will see in SNE. This
coupled with full sunshine and westerly flow will result in 
widespread high temps in the upper 90s and low 100s, with temps 
around 90 on Cape Cod and south coast beaches. Dewpoints will be
in the lower 70s in the morning, but well mixed boundary layer 
may allow dewpoints to fall into the upper 60s in some locations
during peak heating. Still expect heat indices peaking at 
100-110F. It will be a rather warm night Tue night with temps 
above 80 through midnight away from the south coast before 
dropping to mid 70s by daybreak.

The mid level ridge begins to break down Wednesday as polar jet 
shifts southward. Slight cooling aloft and wind shift to E-NE will 
take the edge off the heat somewhat, especially along the coast as 
sea-breezes develop. But still a hot day with highs low-mid 
90s inland and mid-upper 80s along the coast, cooler Cape/Islands. 
Dewpoints will be dropping through the 60s which will keep heat 
indices in check somewhat. Peak heat indices will be 95-100F across 
CT and possibly into Springfield where heat advisories may be 
needed. Weak boundary will be hanging around SNE and we have 
instability with CAPES 500-1500 J/Kg along with elevated PWAT plume 
so can't rule out a few showers and t-storms. PWATs near 2 inches so 
any showers or storms could contain locally heavy downpours. 

Then true relief from the heat arrives Thursday through Sunday as 
weak surface boundary settles south of New Eng with easterly flow 
developing along with much cooler 925 mb temps. Temps will average 
below normal with highs mostly in the 70s but it is not out of the 
question a few days could be even cooler in some locations. There 
will be daily chances of showers through the period as deep moisture 
plume persists over the region with elevated PWATs 1.5 to 2 inches. 
There is minimal to no surface instability during this time so 
severe weather is not expected but can't rule out a few t-storms 
given some elevated instability in place.
