Boston Braces for a Sizzling Start to the Week

Scorching Heat and Humidity Expected

Boston and much of New England are bracing for a scorcher, with a heat advisory stretching into Monday evening. While today's humidity might be bearable, tomorrow and Tuesday will bring sticky conditions, with dew points climbing into the low to mid-70s.
