10/09/11 Record Highs Expected Today

Enjoy the weather today and tomorrow. Record high temperatures are likely across much of the region.

In Boston, the old record is 82 set back in 1942.

Thanks to a large area of high pressure overhead the air will heat up very nicely.

There will be a gradual cool down over the week ahead, when the next weather system, an area of showers developing over the Bahamas this morning will likely track northward. It is uncertain at this point whether this will be a tropical system or just a good ole fashioned storm.
