Boston has now gone 11 consecutive days without any measurable precipitation. That is the longest streak of dry days this year

Talk about flipping the script! This coming Saturday will be the 7th straight without any rainfall in Boston...that coming on the heels of a horrific stretch!

Both today and tomorrow there will be a chance of some afternoon/evening showers/storms. Not expecting much severe weather, mainly some downpours and perhaps some gusty winds

Looking like another spectacular Saturday, the 7th in a row!

As of now, Boston has come up just shy of 90 degrees today, meaning no heatwave in the City...however many surrounding towns did record three consecutive days of 90+
