You thought Monday was hot. The heat soars to near record levels on Tuesday.

The intense heat will get hotter. Heat index values soar on Tuesday to 95 to 100 across New England. Boston Globe Heat advisories are in effect from 11 a.m., Monday through 8 p.m., Wednesday for most of Southern New England and Southern New Hampshire. Boston Globe The dew points are going to remain high even as temperatures fall toward Thursday and Friday. There are some signs that a stuck frontal boundary may bring a steady round of showers Thursday afternoon into Friday morning. It's after this boundary finally moves out that the drier air will move in, and right now the weekend is looking completely dry for both days — and sunny. Rising dew points will make it feel quite muggy through Wednesday before they taper off for a more comfortable remainder of the week. Boston Globe Advertisement The reason for the hot weather is a strong area of high pressure to our south. This is bringing a westerly flow of air across the region at the high levels. This keeps the cooler Canadian air from reaching our region and also keeps the humidity across much of the East. Wednesday's highs will be about the same as Tuesday's, although the heat index should stay under 100 degrees. Boston Globe This map shows the temperature change from Monday to Thursday across the country. Temperatures peak in the Northeast before lowering on Thursday. Some of the smoke you've been noticing this summer at times may waft across the region again on Tuesday in that flow of air. It remains to be seen just how much smoke ends up in the region, but it's possible air quality again decreases.
