A.J.: LET'S TALK ABOUT WHAT WE HAVE FOR WEATHER HEADLINES. EXTREME HEAT TODAY AND TOMORROW. ISOLATED STORM THREAT LATE ON SUNDAY. AND EVENTUALLY SOME RELIEF STARTS TO MOVE IN AS WE ARRIVE TOWARD MONDAY. YOU KNOW, IN TERMS OF 100-DEGREE DAYS IN BOSTON, THE LAST ONE WE HAD WAS BACK ON JULY 22 IN 2011. IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME. WE'VE HIT IT 25 TIMES IN BOSTON, BUT 15 TIMES AT LOGAN AIRPORT. FOR MANY YEARS BEFORE IT WAS AT LOGAN AIRPORT, THE OFFICIAL OBSERVATION STATION WAS CLOSER TO DOWNTOWN BOSTON. BUT SINCE ABOUT 1936, THEY'VE BEEN TAKING THE READINGS AT LOGAN AIRPORT. ALL-TIME RECORDS FOR BOSTON, 104 DEGREES SET BACK IN 1911, AGAIN, WHEN THAT THERMOMETER WAS LOCATED DOWNTOWN. BUT AT LOGAN, 103 DEGREES THE ALL-TIME RECORD SET THE LAST TIME WE MADE IT TO 100 BACK ON JULY 22 OF 2011. LET'S LOOK LIVE OUT TOWARD BOSTON. HAZY, AND IT LOOKS EVERY BIT AS WARM AS IT IS OUTSIDE. 82 DEGREES AND CLIMBING. THIS WAS AT THE TOP OF THE HOUR. IT'S PROBABLY A LITTLE WARMER THAN THAT. DEW POINT 73. IT IS TAC OUTSIDE. SUN ROSE AT 5:25 THIS MORNING. HEAT INDEX RIGHT NOW 87 AND CLIMBING. PROBABLY 90 OR SO. DON'T FORGET THAT READING WAS TAKEN AT THE TOP OF THE HOUR 82 BOSTON. LAST CHECK WE WERE IN THE 70'S AND I'LL BET YOU NEXT HOUR WE'LL BE UP WELL ABOVE 80 DEGREES IN MOST LOCATIONS AS WE CHECK AREA-WIDE, 75 WORCESTER, 77 IN HYANNIS. NOT MUCH IN THE WAY OF CLOUD COVER. JUST SOME HAZE OUT THERE. KEEPING AN EYE ON A COUPLE OF COMPLEXES OF STORMS. THIS IS A DYING AREA OF STORMS THAT MOVED THROUGH WISCONSIN WITH SOME REA DAMAGING WINDS. ANOTHER COMPLEX ON THE BACK SIDE OF THAT THROUGH T DAKOTAS. THESE ARE RIDGE ROLLERS OR RIDGE RUNNERS. THEY RUN AROUND THE PERIPHERY OF A HEAT DOME LIKE WE'VE GOT RIGHT NOW. AND SO ONE OR TWO OF THESE MAY TRY AND MOVE IN TO NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND OVERNIGHT TONIGHT. WE'RE GOING TO KEEP O EYES ON THAT. IT COULD SPELL OUT A FEW EXTRA CLOUDS IN OUR SKI FOR TOMORROW, WHICH MAY TAP TEMPERATURES JUST A LITTLE BIT. IT'S GOING TO BE EVERY BIT AS HOT BUT MAYBE TAKE THE EDGE OFF BY A COUPLE OF DEGREES. RELIEF COMES IN THE FORM OF SOME SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS BY MONDAY AND ON INTO TUESDAY. YOU'LL START TO NOTICE A BIG CHANGE IN THOSE TEMPERATURES UNTIL THEN, THOUGH, IT'S HOT AS WE PUMP IN THE HOT AND HUMID AIR FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. HERE COMES A COLD FRONT OFF TO THE NORTH. ON SUNDAY IT SINKS SOUTHWARD. IT MAY TOUCH OR A SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM OR TWO THROUGH NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND AND PERHAPS EVEN IN OUR NECK OF THE WOODS ON SUNDAY LATER IN THE DAY. THEN THAT FRONT GETS HUNG UP. LOW PRESSURE RIDES ALONG IT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A PROLONGED PERIOD OF SOME ON AND OFF WET WEATHER WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY MAKE IT A LITTLE COOLER FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY. 100 IN WALTHAM TODAY. NORWOOD LIKEWISE. 98 BOSTON. 89 MARBLEHEAD. NATURAL AIR CONDITIONING. BIG DEAL. 90 DEGREES STILL AT SOME OF THE BEACHES UP ON THE NORTH SHORE. 93 IN WORCESTER. 91 IN HYANNIS. AGAIN, YOU FACTOR IN THE HUMIDITY, IT'S JUST FEELING EVEN WORSE OUT THERE BY THIS AFTERNOO HEAD TO THE BEACH. U.V. INDEX WILL BE AT A 9. WAVES 1-2 FEET. YOU HAVE ANOTHER LOW TIDE COMING UP AT 8:27 THIS MORNIN CHECK OUT YOUR SEVEN-DAY FORECAST. A COUPLE OF IMPACT WEATHER DAYS TODAY AND TOMORROW BECAUSE OF -- SAY IT WITH ME -- THE HEAT. 84 ON MONDAY AS IT TURNS WET TOWARD MIDDAY INTO THE AFTERNOO TEMPERATURES TAKE A BIG BACK-OFF AND WILL PROBABLY BE CLOSER TO 80 DEGREES
