Afternoon Thunderstorms Could Bring MA Hail And Damaging Winds
Thunderstorms Monday afternoon will set the stage for a much cooler week than the weekend - before a potential surprise warm-up on Saturday.
BOSTON — Time to kiss that taste of summer goodbye and bring back the seasonably cooler temps after some afternoon storms are expected to roll through the Bay State Monday.
Record-high temperatures were met in Boston Saturday, hitting 86 degrees and tying with the record set for May 14 in 1879.
A coastal flood advisory will be starting around 9 p.m. Monday night for Massachusetts residents who live near the water. High astronomical tides may result in less than one foot of flooding above ground level, mainly in the most vulnerable low-lying areas, according to an alert from AccuWeather.

However, only some of the more vulnerable shore roads may experience some nuisance-type flooding around the time of high tide tonight.
It will start to feel cooler as the storms roll in Monday afternoon, before bringing in spring-like temperatures in the upper 60s for the rest of the week. Fog will continue to greet most along the south coast of New England with visibility below a quarter-mile through the mid-morning.
