none in june. you may have thought maybe it is a piece of cake in terms of heat. we with all know that is certainly not the case. 12 times in july we did it. two times in august gu t. that is boston. areas have done it any more than 15. ton the average summer does it 13-16 times so already above average. these were all storm damage reports, some with flooding due to tremendous ams of lane. others lightning a way. a few to the north. they were not quite as severe. we see the streps of rain here. but down in here, eastern connecticut, northwest rhode island, parts of worcester county. they had the heaviest in are as to be sure up to four inches fell according to top ler estimates that was matched by the reports that we actually had. now we see very he, very little activity at this time, andp there is still some action just

look that down here, though. around westerly rhode island. we have a toon ny cell that has lightning with it. so that is moving off to the east and if it holds together. that may get close to the islands an hour or two from now moving east. but it also could weaken so we'll see whatpp pens. meantime, it is 83 degrees in downtown boston with a westerly wind at five miles per hour. d notice it is cooler where the wind has shifted to the northeast. this is the key. it is very muggy everywhere. we obviously knee. and in terms of any future storms, yeah, could be a brief shower overnight. not much, though. look at this. see how low clouds around as we go through tomorrow morning, boston, the north shore. we have north early wind as the back door cold pron comes lug. not going to be cold in boston

but going to be anywhere nar the 98 that is going to be 15-20 cooler but jump top the other side of this front, and from worcester, west, and it is till going to be hot in the 90's again, and springfield hartford and possibly providence, so the heat advisories for tomorrow is in that area and which stays very, very hot. now, for the beach and boating entrance tomorrow. there will be ocean clouds at times and keep an eye to the sky and 0's right at the shore and the other side of thep front. red sox tomorrow evening, about 78, light east winds, slight chance that could be a thunderstorm. but listening at what happened if you saw quickly the numbers went by quick and going to feel like it is over 100 again sunday afternoon because we go back in the warm air in boston. you get a one-daybreak in boston. don't get a broke to the west then we have to watch for scattered storms that could develop tomorrow afternoon, tomorrow night and also sunday.
