What Boston meteorologists are saying about this week’s expected heat wave

[7/18 5 AM] A few strong to severe storms are possible this afternoon. Main hazards are damaging wind gusts & localized urban flooding. An isolated tornado also can't be ruled out. Then oppressive #heat & humidity returns later this week. #summer #MAwx #RIwx #CTwx #SevereWeather pic.twitter.com/IjuYZDUtls

An official heatwave is 3 days or more of 90+ degree heat in a row… we've got plenty of 90s in the forecast this week. #WBZ pic.twitter.com/GIvxKNx7z9

HEAT ON THE WAY…
Hottest week of the summer so far on the way!
So far this year Only 2 days at or above 90 in Boston- but that changes this week. High humidity on Wed and Thursday will push the heat index to near and over 100 degrees. #WCVB pic.twitter.com/pXgseSFpMZ
