Week of 7/26/2015 - 8/1/2015 Western MA & New England Weather Highlights

This is where I keep track of weather in New England for the current week!

Last edit: 7/31/2015 1:00PM

Fri, 7/31 - We came so close to a heat wave in Western MA yesterday but missed it once again. The showers and storms that arrived in the afternoon squashed any hope of the region reaching the coveted 90º mark. Westfield and Springfield both topped out 88º, falling 2º short of a heat wave. Windsor Locks (BDL) in Connecticut was probably among the few that recorded a heat wave. They reached 93º on Tuesday, 95º on Wednesday, and just made it at 90º on Thursday.

Tue, 7/28 - Twitter: Westfield (92º) and Springfield (91º) are on track for a potential 3-day heat wave.

Mon, 7/27 - Ready or not, the heat and humidity will make a visit starting tomorrow with our first heat wave possibly in the works. (A heat wave is 3 or more consecutive days of 90° temps or above.) We had some storms earlier today that produced localized flooding and damage but those have since gone away. However, more storms are possible tomorrow, particularly in central and eastern New England. A few could turn severe so something to watch out for. Then it looks like a dry day for Wednesday but it will be hot under mostly sunny skies with high temperatures near 95° in valley locations and typical hotspots. Thursday is our last sweltering day as a cold front blasts through but not without sparking the chance of showers and storms again. More updates to come about the upcoming potential heat wave!
