« Severe thunderstorms heading into northern R.I. | Today | Man shot in Providence early this morning »

August 3, 2006

Not quite as hot today, thunderstorms likely later

The intense heat and humidity should let up a little today, but the temperature should still climb to 93 degrees in the Providence area, and afternoon thunderstorms could bring heavy rain and wind gusts of 60 to 80 mph., according to the National Weather Service.

The weather service has replaced its excessive heat warning with a heat advisory until 6 p.m. today.

Clouds this afternoon should help prevent the temperature from climbing as high as it did yesterday -- when the mercury reached 100 in the Providence area -- but the combination of temperature and humidity should nevertheless make it feel like 100 to 105 degrees.
