reached a high of 93°F, heat index maxed out; in Franklin County, MA. Nearest official station (Orange, MA). Column to the right of CLR is temperature, next one dewpoint; temperature-like numbers all the way to right is heat index
...EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 10 AM TO 7 PM EDT
SUNDAY...
...EXCESSIVE HEAT WATCH NOW IN EFFECT FROM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH
MONDAY EVENING...
The National Weather Service in Boston/Norton has issued an
Excessive Heat Warning, which is in effect from 10 AM to 7 PM EDT
Sunday.
* Location...Western and Central Massachusetts, and north
central and northeast Connecticut.
* Heat Index Values...Ranging from 100 to 108 on Sunday, due to
temperatures in the mid to upper 90s, and dewpoints in the lower
to mid 70s.
* Timing...During peak heating Sunday and Monday afternoons
Interesting, actually the Albany area holds NY State's record max which was 108F in Troy some decades ago. Surprised 100 is not more common up there.
I'm skeptical of some really hot records from the early 1900s in places that haven't come close. Hudson Valley is prone to more heat than western NY, and the ocean can stop NYC from getting the hottest temperatures so Troy location is plausible, but 108°F in 1926 but nothing close in Albany in recent decades? Weird.

Especially since the two cities are at the same elevation and are so few miles apart. Also Watervliet, which is exactly on the opposite side of the Hudson from Troy.
I'm in Watervliet... NOT a happy camper right now! 83F, 86 heat index right now.
Mt. Washington's forecast is more exciting. Not good hiking weather even atop. Getting lots of morning storms; tomorrow might break a record
For Sunday, a weak frontal boundary drapped over the region will bring rain and thunderstorms for the early morning hours. Stronger convective activity will bring heavy rainfall, frequent lightning, hail, and violent wind gusts. Some flash flooding in neighboring ravines and notches could occur during the morning hours as heavy precipitation lingers over the summits. The convective cells are expected to taper briefly during the morning hours as the front shifts out of the region a bit. Another weak front Sunday afternoon could spawn some additional showers and isolated thunderstorms on and around the mountains prior to tapering late overnight as the front exits towards the international border. As daytime heating returns Monday, the proximity of the front could once again spawn some afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms on and around the summits. Temperatures will climb ever higher Sunday and Monday likely setting new daily record highs and approaching the summits all-time record high. In addition to hot and humid weather heading this way, the large ridge will result in hazy conditions over the weekend limiting visibility of incoming unsettled weather in time to seek shelter. Additionally, the haze will be affecting air quality in the coming days affecting the young, elderly, and those with heart and lung conditions.
what's with the warm temperatures on the NY-Canadian border? Clouds must have kept it warmer
