SPRINGFIELD – The Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency urges residents to “keep an eye to the sky” Wednesday and Thursday as the potential for record-breaking heat brings the possibility of severe weather.
Abc40 / Fox 6 meteorologist Dan Brown said the record high for both Wednesday and Thursday is 95 degrees. “We have a good chance of breaking one or both of these records, especially on Thursday.” he said.
The chances for severe weather will be strongest Thursday afternoon and evening as a cold front approaches Western Massachusetts later in the day.
The passing front will usher in cooler and drier weather on Friday and into the weekend, Brown said.
“There may be a few showers around on both Saturday and Sunday but overall the weekend is looking decent with highs mainly in the 70s,” Brown said.
