Heavy rainfall continues across Cape Cod, the South Coast, and the islands. Minor water ponding on roads is likely for Falmouth, Barnstable, Sandwich, Bourne, and Nantucket until about 2-3 pm. #mawx #boston #capecod @bostonglobe.com

Flood watches remain in place for Southeast New England through the morning. Observed rain totals across the area for the past 24 hours. Nearly 4" in SW CT, 1-3" along the RI/MA coast & Cape. Still climbing. #mawx #riwx #ctwx #boston @bostonglobe.com

Slow goes it during this morning’s commute. Much needed rain, some heavy downpours mixed in. Still watching the South Shore, South Coast and Cape for any flash flooding, but trending down. #mawx #riwx #boston

Quick check of the # of 90° days in Boston this year — we're at 11 with peak summer ahead of us. 2025 wrapped with 19. The average sits at 12. We'll likely challenge 2025's total. #mawx #boston @bostonglobe.com

Afternoon update! High pressure to the north of Boston has blocked out the rain so far. But rain will creep north later Monday. Flooding risk remains over CT/RI & SE Mass. on Monday night & Tuesday morning. 1-3", local totals to 5". #mawx #ctwx #riwx #boston @bostonglobe.com

Heavy rain for So. New England Sun night-Tuesday am. Backbuilding storms along stalled front, between 1-4" from the Mass Pike, #Boston, & South. 4-8" local totals in Southern CT/RI. Flooding is expected there, too much for drainage systems & dry, brittle soil. #mawx #riwx #ctwx @bostonglobe.com

Boston tops 100° shortly after 3 p.m. — new daily high record. Westfield/Springfield sets new daily high record with a 97° high (old record 94° in 2018) Manchester, N.H. sets new daily high record with 97° high (old record 95° in 1968). Can still bump up. #nhwx #mawx #boston @bostonglobe.com

Boston hits 99°; that's a new daily high for this date. May get to 100! #mawx #boston @bostonglobe.com

It's before noon, and we already passed yesterday's high. Boston sits at 93°; it looks like we're on our way to triple digits! #boston #mawx @bostonglobe.com

Thursday sees peak heat & humidity across Boston & New England. Highs pushing 100°, heat index values to 110° as tropical air blankets the region. Numerous record highs likely. Boston's all-time high sits at 104°. #mawx #nhwx #riwx #vtwx #mewx #ctwx #boston #newengland @bostonglobe.com

Folks in the Berkshires and Southern Vermont — stay weather aware during the commute home with potent storms pushing in. Damaging wind gusts up to 70 mph and small hail are possible. A very low tornado risk. The severe t-storm watch expires at 8 p.m. #mawx #vtwx #nywx @bostonglobe.com

The heat dome influence arrives Wed. across New England; sinking air holds stagnant heat over the region, increasing Thurs. and lingering Fri. Highs on Wed. to 90s & near 100. Dew points to the low 70s = heat index values pushing 110° — be careful out there. #mawx #boston @bostonglobe.com

Major heat event on the horizon for Boston starting Wednesday. Heat dome holds heat at surface while building each day. Dew points surging, too. Highs to the 100s on Thursday, challenging all-time high for #Boston (104) Heat index values into the upper 100s starting Wednesday. Stay safe! #mawx

Boston is having the driest year on record to date, with a 9" precip deficit in 2026. We need much more rain, or we're staring at extreme drought, wildfires, wells running dry, & poor crops. Especially with El Niño ramping up. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/06/24/m... #mawx #riwx @bostonglobe.com

After a beautiful day on Wednesday, Thursday will see temperatures push into the 80s with light rain entering New England during the afternoon, reaching Boston late. A couple of spot downpours, but generally light. #mawx #riwx #nhwx #boston #newengland @bostonglobe.com

Look at the streamer totals across Southeast New England, some 3"+ local totals. A few vehicles were submerged. Additional rain totals throughout Tuesday, with the highest targets the Cape with up to 1" locally. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/06/22/m... #mawx #riwx #boston @bostonglobe.com

Beneficial rain on Monday, but heavy rain early on Tuesday flooded portions of SE Mass. & So. RI. Between 2-3" of rain flooded roads, submerging vehicles in Fall River. Flood alerts have dropped, but expect another wave of showers & t-storms during the day. #mawx #nhwx #riwx @bostonglobe.com

After a beautiful weekend, Monday starts dry but ends up very soggy. A system pushes in from the west throughout the afternoon. Highs to the upper 70s and low 80s before the rain arrives. #mawx #riwx #nhwx #boston @bostonglobe.com

Not quite sure what the NWS will find for the Worcester tornado-warned cells. A little bit of anomaly on the debris detector, we'll see what the survey team discovers. Reports of funnel cloud over Spencer/Leicester. #mawx @bostonglobe.com

All is done for the night! But these two inflow V-notches were very impressive from earlier. Wouldn’t be surprised of NWS sends a team and one of these is confirmed. #mawx @bostonglobe.com

A severe thunderstorm warning has been issued for Worcester County and Southern Middlesex, pushing through 7 pm with strong wind gusts up to 60 mph and heavy to torrential rainfall. #mawx @bostonglobe.com

Two tornado warnings encroaching on Worcester for the next hour. Very tight couplets on the velocity. Could have one or both on the ground at this time. Seek shelter immediately! #mawx @bostonglobe.com

Nasty tornado likely on the ground or imminent just west of Worcester. Get to the shelter now, the lowest, most interior room of your home! #mawx #boston @bostonglobe.com

Severe thunderstorms continue to push through New England, with wind gusts up to 60 mph. Warnings (orange polygons) are in place for Concord, Manchester, Northern Worcester County & Western Mass. at this hour. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/06/17/m... #nhwx #mawx #boston @bostonglobe.com

Severe thunderstorms continue to roll through New Hampshire and Western Mass. at this hour. Expect these storms to stick together as they push towards Boston. Strong wind gusts up to 60 mph with heavy rainfall. #nhwx #mawx #boston @bostonglobe.com

Tornado watches extend east through 7 p.m. to include portions of Greater Boston, Central and Northeast Mass., all of New Hampshire, and into Maine. #mawx #riwx #ctwx #nhwx #mewx #boston @bostonglobe.com

Tornado watch issued for parts of #NewEngland until 3 p.m. Western Mass. and Vermont may see strong storms with a chance for a tornado or two. Strong wind gusts up to 80 mph are also possible. There may be an eastward extension of this watch in NH. #mawx #vtwx #boston @bostonglobe.com

Loads of moisture + wind shear aloft = a low chance for a tornado in New England Thursday afternoon and evening. Nothing crazy, but warrants a close eye on the sky and weather alerts. Stays west of Boston. #mawx #nhwx #mewx #tornado #boston @bostonglobe.com

Thursday turns messy. Humid, scattered showers & t-storms (some severe), and breezy. Dew points to the 70s, wind gusts of 20 to 30 mph, scattered showers and thunderstorms for both commutes. Drying late. Boston might see a dry sunset. #mawx #riwx #nhwx #boston #newengland @bostonglobe.com

Boston is currently experiencing the driest YTD precipitation deficit on record, dating back 152 years. The city cites 8.9" below the average YTD rain totals (as of 6/15). Rest of MA, RI, & CT top-10 driest with 4-8" deficits. #mawx #riwx #ctwx #boston #drought #newengland @bostonglobe.com

Tropical Storm Arthur forms a couple of days before the avg. 1st named storm. Epic rainfall and flooding across the Gulf Coast and Deep South — so much moisture in the air will hammer the region through at least Thursday night. #twxw #lawx #boston #tropics @bostonglobe.com

The 1st named tropical storm is likely (Arthur) by Wed. morning. Named or not, the Gulf Coast to see exceptional rainfall (4-10"+) with many flash flooding incidents — not good. The Gulf is currently the 3rd warmest on record, and El Niño hasn't kicked in quite yet. #tropics @bostonglobe.com

June check-in. Warmer than normal everywhere, drier along Southern & Coastal New England. Boston's avg. temp is 7° warmer than avg. Good for the 3rd warmest June so far. Top-5 elsewhere. Top-15 driest June starts on record for all of MA/RI/CT. #mawx #riwx #nhwx #boston @bostonglobe.com

World Cup Match 2 at Gillette will see near-perfect weather conditions in Foxborough! Temps slip from low 80s to upper 60s, air turns dry under mostly clear skies, & light winds. #mawx #nhwx #riwx #boston #worldcup #iraq #norway @bostonglobe.com

Dry air settles in across the region Monday and Tuesday with increasing sunshine, with temperatures in the upper 70s and low 80s. Calm start to the week. #boxton #mawx #riwx #nhwx @bostonglobe.com

El Niño has been declared after 5 straight months where the Equatorial Pacific sea surface temperatures were at least .5°C higher than average. Impacts aren't immediate, but expect significant changes in weather patterns by late summer. #elnino #climate #mawx @bostonglobe.com

Heat and humidity ramp up on Thursday! Boston is near 90 degrees with mid-90s west. Dew points to...the 70s! All in all, heat index values are pushing 100 degrees across Western Mass. & CT. Boston will feel more like the mid-90s. Plus, scattered severe thunderstorms southwest. @bostonglobe.com

73 years ago today — the 1953 Worcester tornado. It would have been likely rated an EF5 if the same twister had touched down today. It was exceptionally powerful as it is rare. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/06/10/m... #mawx @bostonglobe.com

Temperatures to the upper 80s on Wednesday with scattered showers & t-storms during the afternoon. You'll notice a bump up in humidity with dew points into the 60s. #mawx #riwx #ctwx #mewx #nhwx #vtwx #boston @bostonglobe.com

El Niño latest. Almost there. Nearly all models show SST's warming 3°C + by Nov/Dec, record-setting. Global impacts imminent. Flood, drought, wildfires, and global heat by late summer. Climate change enhances natural patterns like El Niño. Expect massive agricultural strain. @bostonglobe.com

The World Cup is fast approaching Gillette Stadium! Here's your Saturday night, first look forecast for #Haiti vs. #Scotland Warm into the 70s, a little muggy, a low chance for a spot shower. Should be rockin' at Gillette Saturday night. #mawx #boston @bostonglobe.com

Monday sees high pressure settling across New England, setting up a pleasant day with temperatures in the 70s across most of New England. A slight breeze, but nothing crazy. The immediate coast stays cooler. 90s back in play this week. #mawx #nhwx #riwx #boston #newengland @bostonglobe.com

A look at Saturday weather across New England! Hot temps, afternoon and evening strong to severe storms, poor air quality south! #mawx #riwx #ctwx #nhwx #vtwx #mewx #boston @bostonglobe.com

Northern Lights! 🚨 3 CMEs ejected from the Sun & forecast to pass by Earth TONIGHT. It's a pretty high watch issued by the SWPC, sending the view line well south of #NewEngland. Skies will be mostly clear. Let's hope they show! 9 pm - 2 am! #mawx #northernlights #boston @bostonglobe.com

Tired of the crumby weekends in New England? Me too! We haven't seen a completely rain-free weekend in 6 weeks! And when it didn't rain, it was much cooler than normal! 12 of 14 weekends since 3/1 have seen some rain in Boston & Southern New England. #mawx #riwx #ctwx #boston @bostonglobe.com

Heat builds across New England on Thursday! Start of a heat wave for some across Western Mass. & Connecticut! #mawx #riwx #ctwc #nhwx #boston @bostonglobe.com

Pretty cool to see the pressure waves picked up on Woods Hole's sensitive seismometer and pressure sensor when the meteor broke up on Saturday afternoon. I'm also trying to find my way on a boat to write a story about the meteorite retrieval efforts! #mawx #riwx #nhwx #meteor @bostonglobe.com

Meteorological spring has wrapped! - May was split (cold start, warm finish) across #NewEngland - Spring (3/1-5/31) ends warmer than normal across the Northeast - Spring snow was minimal. Boston & Southeast ends the snow season > avg. Less up north. #mawx #nhwx #riwx #boston @bostonglobe.com

How does Boston 2026's meteor compare to Russia 2013? Russia was 15-20x larger, all around. Boston: 5 ft wide, 230 tons of TNT, exploded 30 miles up Russia: 60-65 ft wide, 450-500K tons of TNT, exploded 14.5 miles above ground. Still startling, no matter what. #mawx #boston #meteor #riwx #nhwx

Latest from NASA on the #Boston meteor! Fireball was 5 FEET wide and speeding at 42,000 mph. Mass of 5.6 metric tons (weight of a full-grown elephant). Entered atmosphere NW to SE for 26 miles, broke up around 31 miles above the surface. Energy release of 230 tons of TNT. #mawx #meteor
