Although a warm day, our Thursday has felt rather comfortable due to low dew points.
After rising to the low and mid-80s for Thursday, it's off to the races for Friday as highs will approach 90 degrees.
More notably, this comes with an increase in humidity as dew points (a way to measure the amount of moisture in the air) also go up.
We reach the mid-60s due to a warm front that crosses overnight. Saturday is a day with truly overwhelming humidity as dew points top out in the low 70s, which is a tropical-like air mass.
A cold front moving in on Saturday will attempt to make use of all that muggy air and will bring us our next chance of strong to severe thunderstorms.
Highs stay in the 80s from Saturday to the Fourth of July, with Sunday and the Fourth itself being far better days than Saturday.
While a shower or thunderstorm is possible late Friday night into early Saturday, the main window for severe thunderstorm activity will be midday through the evening.
Outdoor plans aren't the best idea, but if you do have them, have a plan to head indoors immediately should a storm develop.
The Storm Prediction Center places Southern New England under the Slight Risk for severe weather, which is notable this far away from the front.
