The record of 96° in Boston, set on Thursday's date in 1928, seems destined to fall.  Friday through Monday may not bring record heat, but will bring continued impactful heat and humidity with heat index values continuing to hit 100° at times and scattered afternoon and evening thunder.  Full details in the forecast video and remember, in addition to the NBC10 Boston and NECN station apps, to download my personal Matt Noyes Weather app to communicate directly with me!
