MAINE. SO THIS IS WHERE WE’RE SEEING SOME OF THE MOST EXTREME DROUGHT CONDITIONS THAT STRETCHES OVER INTO VERMONT, AS WELL. AS YOU MOVE NORTH OF ROUTE TWO, YOU CAN SEE MODERATE DROUGHT CONDITIONS TRAVELING INTO SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE. AND WE’RE ALSO SEEING SOME SIGNS OF SEVERE DROUGHT NOW STARTING TO DEVELOP AS YOU MOVE DOWN TOWARD CAPE COD. SO AS OF THIS WEEK, 26% OF MASSACHUSETTS IS UNDER MODERATE DROUGHT, 2% IS UNDER SEVERE DROUGHT. SO WE ARE LOOKING AHEAD TO OUR NEXT CHANCE FOR SOME BENEFICIAL RAINFALL. AND THAT CHANCE MOVES IN ON WEDNESDAY. RAINFALL NUMBERS LOOK TO STAY BELOW HALF AN INCH. SO WE’RE NOT TALKING ABOUT A HUGE, HEAVY SOAKING RAIN, BUT WE’LL TAKE ANY DROPS THAT WE CAN GET. AT THIS POINT. WE ARE BONE DRY OUT THERE THIS MORNING. WE HAVE 45 DEGREES IN MANCHESTER, 50 IN NEW BEDFORD, A LITTLE CLOSER TO 60 AS YOU HEAD INTO BOSTON. SUNNY SKIES AS WE MOVE PAST SUNRISE NOW. AND THOSE SUNNY SKIES ARE HERE TO STAY. WE HAVE A WIND OUT OF THE WEST SOUTHWEST AND THAT IS GOING TO BOOST THESE HIGH TEMPERATURES A LITTLE CLOSER TO 80. WE SHOULD SQUEEZE UP TOWARD ABOUT 80 DEGREES IN BOSTON. THAT’S DESPITE A LITTLE BIT OF A WEAK SEA BREEZE TRYING TO DEVELOP. BUT YOU CAN SEE SOME OF OUR LOCAL BEACHES, LIKE MARBLEHEAD, MAY BE SITTING CLOSER TO 75, 74 OUT TOWARD HULL 128 LOCATIONS PLAN ON THE LOW 80S. YOU’LL GET INTO THE LOW 80S FOR THE MERRIMACK VALLEY, TOO, WHICH OF COURSE IS OUR HOT SPOT, AND THOSE LOW 80S STRETCH OUT TOWARD WORCESTER AND DOWN TOWARD PLACES LIKE NORWOOD. A LITTLE BIT COOLER DOWN TOWARD THE SOUTH COAST, CAPE AND ISLANDS WHERE THE WIND IS OFF THE WATER. NANTUCKET TODAY, STAYING AT 72 DEGREES. WE’RE NEAR RECORD, BUT LIKELY NOT GOING TO BE TYING OR BREAKING RECORDS TODAY. WE’RE SEVERAL DEGREES BELOW THE RECORDS FOR BOTH BOSTON AND WORCESTER, BUT STILL VERY WARM. AND THAT TREND CONTINUES. WE’RE MOSTLY CLEAR NEAR THE 50S TONIGHT AND THEN TOMORROW A SUMMER FEEL. WE’RE NEARING THE MID 80S FOR THE MERRIMACK VALLEY, 70 AT THE IMMEDIATE COASTLINE WITH AGAIN THE SEA BREEZE TRYING TO DEVELOP. WE ARE DRY UNTIL THAT NEXT CHANCE OF RAIN ON WEDNESDAY, AND THIS ONE WILL LIKELY BRING THE BEST CHANCE OF SHOWERS DURING THE FIRST HALF OF THE DAY, AS THAT COLD FRONT TRIGGERS THE SHOWERS. IT WILL ALSO TRIGGER A COOLDOWN. WE GO FROM THE 80S TO START THE
