could possibly be our last 90 degree day that we have for this year so if you like it, then enjoy it while it's here we're still sitting in the 90's. high for boston 93 degrees. that ties the old record from last year of 93 if you remember this time last year, we were in the midst of a heat wave. the good news, if you are not a fan of the 90's is today it's one and done. we cool by at least ten degrees into tomorrow. here are your current temperatures. low 90's really across the board. 87 in worcester. we popped up another degree. 87 fitchburg this is it what's made the heat even more difficult to bear today. # the struggle is real. at least for me with these dewpoints in the mid to upper 60's and even low 70's and for a time we had this much humidity in the city of boston. what happens is the cooling process that keeps you cool is your sweat that's evaporating back out into the atmosphere. that's what keeps you cool but when the air has this much moisture in its saying, the air is saying we don't want your sweat so you kind of keep that

head threw a hot today today with humidity included with the heat. current heat index meaning it feels like mid 90's out there with both of those things couple together. to put it into perspective normal high for this time of year 75 for the city of boston. at least heading through the next couple of days we do get a cool down from today, but we still will experience above average temperatures through most of this 7 day forecast. now back to the here and now, we did get some sunshine as we made it into this afternoon. m the cloud cover tomorrow will be very similar. we have sort of a series of fronts that going to work their way through. you see where the yellow coloring is here? upstate new york and in northern new england, that's where the cooler air with this first front is and it will push through overnight tonight. we just don't get the relief from the heat right away. right now still in the 90's for us, chance of rain. we get with this series of fronts a slight chance on saturday and a slight chance on sunday as well. it looks like isolated showers

too much. running through that time line here comes that cool front, sort of stalls out and then it pushes to the north as a warm front as we get through the day on saturday. next cool front rolls through late on sunday and that pushes in some much dryer air for us. so humidity will be falling off quite significantly getting into next week. not a whole lot of rain on the way. 10th of an inform, quarter of an inch about the best we can hope for and sole of us stay dry all to the. partly cloudy, mild temperatures it's muggy overnight tonight. 56 to than today, but still a touch muggy with that chance of a spot shower. here is your 7 to 7 forecast for tomorrow. mugginess i think the humidity that we are experiencing right now is about what we'll deal with into tomorrow and then the humidity continues to improve as we make it into the beginning of next week, plus sunshine is back. how does mid 70's for a high on monday sound? then a fall like feel for the end of next week. >> anchor: all right, bri, time for fast track traffic with matt
