As we wrap up June, get ready for a day filled with mostly sunny skies! The warmth is on the rise, with temperatures hitting a sizzling 90 degrees but feeling more like a steamy 95. Those gentle southwest winds at 5-10 mph might provide a slight relief, but don’t forget to stay hydrated and enjoy the summer vibes!

Weather Alerts

As the July 4th weekend approaches, conditions across much of New England are expected to be highly favorable, assuming high pressure gradually settles over the region instead of shifting off the Atlantic coast. Humidity levels are anticipated to be lower than typical July standards through Saturday, which is excellent news for enjoying fireworks displays.
