Get ready to find a cool place as Southern New England could soon have heat indices of over 105 degrees.
According to the National Weather Service, there will be a warming trend this week with a period of dangerous heat likely by mid to late week.
Confidence continues to increase for a period of extreme heat and as a result, an Extreme Heat Watch has been issued from 10am Wednesday to 8pm Friday for all of Rhode Island and almost all of Massachusetts and Connecticut.
This heat event will feature extremely high overnight temperatures offering very little in the way of relief from the extreme heat. Those without access to adequate cooling and hydration will be especially vulnerable to these elevated nighttime temperatures.
Some relief may arrive by next weekend, still, temperatures could reach the lower to mid 90s so heat statements may be needed even through next weekend…
