Officially a heat wave is defined when temperatures reach 90F or above for 3 consecutive days. However, due to the time of year, March. And temperatures 40 degrees above normal, this will be considered a heat wave. It is vast, and expansive as well.
Boston will make a run at its first 80 degree temperature since October 10! A stronger west wind today will help keep the sea breeze from coming onshore and only locations at the immediate coastline will be cooler. The exception being the south facing shores and the Cape.
 |
| The Merrimack valley and the western suburbs of Boston will see the highest temperatures today. South facing Coastal areas will be cooler and out on the Cape. |

Boston officially takes its temperatures at the airport in East Boston,
which is directly on the water. Temperatures will greatly rise from the
coast to inland today by as much as 5-10 degrees from the Harbor to Fenway.
 |
| Thursday will be the warmest day of this heat wave with the typical hot spots possibly reaching 90 degrees around Nashua and Lowell. Once again south facing coastal areas and the Cape will be much cooler. A pop up thunderstorm is possible, but unlikely tomorrow afternoon |

Sadly I must report, that the weather will turn cooler come this weekend, however, it will still be above normal. Keep in mind that normal though is 48 degrees!
