Will be the hottest day of the year so far with highs 90-95° away from SE MA. This will be the first 90° for Boston and close to when we typically hit it. Average is early June and we did it on June 18th last year. #WCVB pic.twitter.com/mrw9lWpxRk

90s for highs common away from the immediate coast tomorrow. pic.twitter.com/PgJHR1OnoZ

Low risk for a pop-up summer shower/storm tomorrow. Few and far between. pic.twitter.com/LJNMhiLYCd

Higher risk for showers/storms is on Friday afternoon. Issue is that steering winds are light, so slow moving storms could produce localized downpours that create poor drainage/street flooding. pic.twitter.com/6KKDr99szr

Temps back in the 70s over the weekend. Not washed out, but some showers/storms possible, especially Saturday. pic.twitter.com/qhQwAGE4fk
