SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WGGB/WSHM) - On Monday, we hit 92° at Westover in Chicopee, making it our second day in a row of 90°+.

**Heat Advisory is in effect for Central and Eastern Hampden, Hampshire, Franklin Counties from 11am Tuesday through 8pm Wednesday**

Today is a First Alert Weather Day because it will be very hot and humid. Highs are expected to range in the middle and upper 90’s. Higher humidity bringing feels-like temperatures to near triple digits. It’s also mainly sunny for the majority of the day.

Between 3-6pm, we have a chance for a few downpours to roll through with a few embedded strong thunderstorms too.

Tonight, it remains warm and muggy. Lows overnight fall into the upper 60’s to around 70°.

Wednesday is also a First Alert Weather Day. This is as temperatures remain hot in the afternoon, likely reaching 90° once again. It will also be more humid, driving feels-like temperatures into the middle 90’s.

A cold front coming through later in the day will bring the risk for some downpours and strong to severe thunderstorms too.

Once we get behind this cold front, dew points crash, and temperatures return closer to where they should be for May for the remainder of the week. Highs Thursday and Friday will range in the lower 70’s.

Memorial Day weekend right now looks cool with highs in the 60’s, as well as mainly cloudy with some spotty showers.
