Tremendous day for the final World Cup match at MetLife

Dry air, nice breeze, and the last of the significant smoke has been pushing off to the south

[Eric Fisher @ericfisher]

July rain hot spot South Coast -> Cape Cod and the Islands. 4-8" of much needed water so far this month. More coming Tuesday PM into Wednesday

If you think the smoke today is bad, tomorrow looks absolutely hideous.

As little as 83 miles separates no thunderstorm risk from enhanced risk for Tuesday.

With the heat on today in parts of the Carolinas and Georgia, here is a look at how many times it has reached 100 degrees at the main weather station. Noticeably absent? Columbia, SC. It hasn't been above 99 there yet this year.

Latest drought map is out...no change since last week.

[Ryan Breton @RyanBretonWX]

Fryeburg and Portland were among the places hitting 90 degrees today. We've already hit the average annual number in Fryeburg (11 days) and are just one shy in Portland (4 so far). Looks like we'll heat back up again next week too...

We continue to be on pace for a huge El Nino this year into winter. Possibly the strongest on record

[Eric Fisher @ericfisher]

It's the first time we've had two 100F days total in a year since 1952. First back to back since 1944. #wbz

[Eric Fisher @ericfisher]

With easy 90s tomorrow and Saturday, we'll be up to 11 days of 90F+ in Boston through the 4th of July. That's good for the 3rd fastest pace for days above 90F on record. Racking them up quickly so far. #wbz

[Eric Fisher @ericfisher]

Can we do it again tomorrow? Back to back 100s has only happened once at Logan airport...in 1944. (and two other times when records were kept inside the city). 1911 remains the most infamous heat wave locally. #wbz

Lightning over Chocorua Lake from the first of two lines of storms that moved across New Hampshire late Wednesday night.

Whoop there it is

Boston officially has hit 100F, per NWS. Providence and Hartford still hanging at 99F for now. #wbz

[Eric Fisher @ericfisher]

If you're seeing lightning out there tonight, it's from these storms out by the Berkshires. What many call "heat lightning" is just lightning from storms too far away to hear the thunder. #wbz

[Tyler Jankoski NBC5 🌪️ @TylerJankoski]

Watching storms blow up on satellite — wind flow halfway up storm added on to show general direction. Severe Thunderstorm Watch until 11 p.m.

[Eric Fisher @ericfisher]

Some big numbers possible out there tomorrow, along with high humidity. Thursday and Friday are the hottest 2 days of this stretch. #wbz

[Eric Fisher @ericfisher]

July by the numbers in Boston

Just 0.3% of July days have reached 100F. We will have a chance tomorrow and Friday, pending any seabreeze fighting back at Logan. #wbz

[Eric Fisher @ericfisher]

As we embark on a hot stretch, June winding down as either the 4th or 5th warmest on record in Boston. Final place official after today is finished. 19 days with highs 80F+ was the 3rd most on record. The only day under 70F was the 1st of the month, tying fewest on record. #wbz
