Severe thunderstorm watch issued for northern VT, NH, & Maine. A cluster of storms may turn severe until shortly after midnight as they move southeast. Damaging wind gusts of 60-70 mph, small & medium-sized hail, and a possible tornado. Keep your phones on overnight for alerts. #nhwx #vtwx #mewx

Wildfire smoke arrives early across New England. Boston and the entire region lost the sun and turned a tint of yellow/brown. Wednesday will see smoke, too. #wildire #mawx #nhwx #boston @bostonglobe.com

Spying a couple of new daily high records for today. Springfield/Westfield and Manchester, NH, should set new records. Boston may fall short. #mawx #nhwx @bostonglobe.com

Northern New England severe threat for today — storms most potent between 6 pm & 12 am. NW of I-95 in Maine is best chance for wind gusts of 70+ mph, 2" hail, & a tornado. 1st 'Enhanced' threat for Northern Maine. AM showers & wildfire smoke may temper things a bit. #mawx #mewx #nhwx #vtwx

Heat returns to Boston & New England on Tuesday. Heat alerts in place. Temps in the 90s + dew points near 70 = heat index to 105° in spots. A rare Enhanced Severe Risk in extreme Northern New England on Tue. PM. 75 mph gusts, hail, & tornadoes possible. #mawx #vtwx #nhwx #mewx @bostonglobe.com

After a gorgeous weekend, a swath of heat returns to New England. Back to the 90s we go to start the week (Mon-Wed) #mawx #boston #riwx @bostonglobe.com

Here's how 2026 stacks up to the annual number of 90°+ days across Boston over the past decade. #mawx #boston @bostonglobe.com

For 7 years in a row, New England's average temp from January to June has been above the 30-year norm (1991-2020) #mawx #riwx #nhwx #vtwx #mewx #ctiwx #boston #newengland @bostonglobe.com

The Atlantic remains quiet thanks to intensifying El Niño & Saharan Dust. (strong wind shear, dry air aloft, & cool SSTs in the MDR) CSU dropped their forecast to 9 named storms (inc. Arthur), 4 hurricanes, & 1 major. Even U. of Arizona dropped the 20-named-storm forecast to 13. #tropics

Boston was having the hottest start to summer on record before Tuesday's cool day. The same goes for Concord, Providence, Milton, and the top 5 for many others. After 1 day in second place, Boston will return to the hottest summer start top spot after this week wraps. #mawx @bostonglobe.com

No quit to this rain shield! Steady rain from Lowell to Worcester. Some totals have reached 5” since early Monday. The sun returns tomorrow! #mawx #riwx

Heavy rainfall continues across Cape Cod, the South Coast, and the islands. Minor water ponding on roads is likely for Falmouth, Barnstable, Sandwich, Bourne, and Nantucket until about 2-3 pm. #mawx #boston #capecod @bostonglobe.com

Flood watches remain in place for Southeast New England through the morning. Observed rain totals across the area for the past 24 hours. Nearly 4" in SW CT, 1-3" along the RI/MA coast & Cape. Still climbing. #mawx #riwx #ctwx #boston @bostonglobe.com

Slow goes it during this morning’s commute. Much needed rain, some heavy downpours mixed in. Still watching the South Shore, South Coast and Cape for any flash flooding, but trending down. #mawx #riwx #boston

Afternoon update! High pressure to the north of Boston has blocked out the rain so far. But rain will creep north later Monday. Flooding risk remains over CT/RI & SE Mass. on Monday night & Tuesday morning. 1-3", local totals to 5". #mawx #ctwx #riwx #boston @bostonglobe.com

Heavy rain for So. New England Sun night-Tuesday am. Backbuilding storms along stalled front, between 1-4" from the Mass Pike, #Boston, & South. 4-8" local totals in Southern CT/RI. Flooding is expected there, too much for drainage systems & dry, brittle soil. #mawx #riwx #ctwx @bostonglobe.com

Boston tops 100° shortly after 3 p.m. — new daily high record. Westfield/Springfield sets new daily high record with a 97° high (old record 94° in 2018) Manchester, N.H. sets new daily high record with 97° high (old record 95° in 1968). Can still bump up. #nhwx #mawx #boston @bostonglobe.com

Thursday sees peak heat & humidity across Boston & New England. Highs pushing 100°, heat index values to 110° as tropical air blankets the region. Numerous record highs likely. Boston's all-time high sits at 104°. #mawx #nhwx #riwx #vtwx #mewx #ctwx #boston #newengland @bostonglobe.com

Folks in the Berkshires and Southern Vermont — stay weather aware during the commute home with potent storms pushing in. Damaging wind gusts up to 70 mph and small hail are possible. A very low tornado risk. The severe t-storm watch expires at 8 p.m. #mawx #vtwx #nywx @bostonglobe.com

The heat dome influence arrives Wed. across New England; sinking air holds stagnant heat over the region, increasing Thurs. and lingering Fri. Highs on Wed. to 90s & near 100. Dew points to the low 70s = heat index values pushing 110° — be careful out there. #mawx #boston @bostonglobe.com

Major heat event on the horizon for Boston starting Wednesday. Heat dome holds heat at surface while building each day. Dew points surging, too. Highs to the 100s on Thursday, challenging all-time high for #Boston (104) Heat index values into the upper 100s starting Wednesday. Stay safe! #mawx

Boston is having the driest year on record to date, with a 9" precip deficit in 2026. We need much more rain, or we're staring at extreme drought, wildfires, wells running dry, & poor crops. Especially with El Niño ramping up. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/06/24/m... #mawx #riwx @bostonglobe.com

After a beautiful day on Wednesday, Thursday will see temperatures push into the 80s with light rain entering New England during the afternoon, reaching Boston late. A couple of spot downpours, but generally light. #mawx #riwx #nhwx #boston #newengland @bostonglobe.com

Look at the streamer totals across Southeast New England, some 3"+ local totals. A few vehicles were submerged. Additional rain totals throughout Tuesday, with the highest targets the Cape with up to 1" locally. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/06/22/m... #mawx #riwx #boston @bostonglobe.com

Beneficial rain on Monday, but heavy rain early on Tuesday flooded portions of SE Mass. & So. RI. Between 2-3" of rain flooded roads, submerging vehicles in Fall River. Flood alerts have dropped, but expect another wave of showers & t-storms during the day. #mawx #nhwx #riwx @bostonglobe.com

After a beautiful weekend, Monday starts dry but ends up very soggy. A system pushes in from the west throughout the afternoon. Highs to the upper 70s and low 80s before the rain arrives. #mawx #riwx #nhwx #boston @bostonglobe.com

Not quite sure what the NWS will find for the Worcester tornado-warned cells. A little bit of anomaly on the debris detector, we'll see what the survey team discovers. Reports of funnel cloud over Spencer/Leicester. #mawx @bostonglobe.com

All is done for the night! But these two inflow V-notches were very impressive from earlier. Wouldn’t be surprised of NWS sends a team and one of these is confirmed. #mawx @bostonglobe.com

A severe thunderstorm warning has been issued for Worcester County and Southern Middlesex, pushing through 7 pm with strong wind gusts up to 60 mph and heavy to torrential rainfall. #mawx @bostonglobe.com

Two tornado warnings encroaching on Worcester for the next hour. Very tight couplets on the velocity. Could have one or both on the ground at this time. Seek shelter immediately! #mawx @bostonglobe.com
