It's not just "like" a heat wave, it is a heat wave. After a couple of 90-degree days already - according to Bostonist's thermometer - there are possibly three more coming. On Thursday and Friday, most forecasts are calling for temperatures closing in on 100 degrees.

Usually, if you see the word "weather" on Bostonist then its a bad thing. Endless snow, heavy rain or cold temperatures. Now, it's floods. Yes, rain and mild temperatures combined with melting snow has caused the National Weather Service to declare a flood watch until Monday morning in the Bay State - it began at 1 p.m. today. Depending on where you live, you can look for anywhere from an inch to 2.5 inches of rain.
A small plane crashed in Orange, Mass. Saturday. Remember to follow Bostonist on Twitter and like us on Facebook.
Hurricane Earl is apparently coming to Massachusetts on Friday. Save yourselves!
Thunderstorms are on the way, with a chance of hail. The National Weather Service has issued a flood warning for "urban areas and small streams in Norfolk County, including the cities of Weymouth, Quincy, and Franklin," reports the Globe. Plymouth County has a flood warning as well, and Norfolk and northwestern Bristol County have severe thunderstorm warnings.
People are taking the incoming snow seriously. Bostonist heard word that state employees are leaving work early, at 1:00 pm, because of the weather.
Not all clouds are cute little cotton puffs. Here's a photo of low-hanging clouds that made Boston look like a winter night – at about 3:30 pm this afternoon. We just went to the National Weather Service website, which provides the latest updates. As of 3:41, "the severe thunderstorm warning for central Middlesex county has been cancelled … wind gusts up to 40 miles per hour and heavy rains can be expected through 4:30 pm."...
At first it seemed like it was just a ploy for sweeps. Deemed the first big snow storm of the season initial reports had upwards of eight inches falling on Boston. Local TV news stations have fired up the severe weather graphics, pulled in their storm teams, and gone to almost all weather all the time. The National Weather Service even issued a winter storm warning for the next 24 hours:... Winter Storm Warning...
Bostonist loves the Inside Track ladies at the Herald. They’ve got their finger on the tiny trickle of celebrity and athlete gossip coming from the Hub. As was pointed out earlier this year, they were the only ones who could keep track of The Departed. But this morning they’re knocking on the Internet and Bosonist’s “Weather or Not” man Todd Gross. Set to make an appearance this morning on WAAF, before Todd went live, the...
Ah, the reliable seasonal occurrences in our fair city: Snow; car accidents caused by snow; potholes caused (in part) by snow; parking disputes caused by snow; weather reports predicting fantastic, super-duper, cripple-the-region-and-rock-your-world snow, and, inevitably, the failure of said snow actually to materialize. How disappointed was Bostonist? Very disappointed. Imagine the scene: At 6:15 (15 minutes before our alarm is set to go off), we hear the clarion call of Toddler Bostonist, a firm believer in early-to-bed-early-to-rise. Usually, a pre-alarm wake-up is the occasion for some grumbling on our part, or at the very least a moment of looking longingly at the clock as we savor the last soft touch of our pillow. But today, we thought, "Snow! When we emerge from our darkened bedroom and go through the kitchen to Toddler Bostonist's room, we will look out the back window and see Somerville blanketed in pure, white, early-morning snowy glory!" And so we dashed from bed and up to the window only to see . . . the remains of the weekend's dusting and a bruised-looking gray sky with no white stuff falling from it. As the kids say, WTF? On the radio later, we heard a very apologetic fellow from the National Weather Service explain that the storm unexpectedly sucked dry air from northern New England and evaporated the snow before it hit the ground. Whatever. We think the recently fired Todd Gross is probably to blame.
The first thing Bostonist thought yesterday when we awoke to the sight of snow - it's time to put on the snow tires on our rear wheel vehicle. Ugh.
"The sun is hitting at a more direct angle. It has less of the atmosphere to go through," Simpson said. "It's enough to do its thing - which is melt the snow."
Yeah, it’s that cold outside. Apparently it’s not cold enough for Boston to qualify for an advisory, but we do get a special weather statement. "The Wind Chill Advisory for much of southern New England has expired.
Nonetheless... wind chills remain 10 to 15 degrees below zero... and
noaas National Weather Service advises that common sense precautions
to avoid frostbite continue."
