September Heat Wave In Sudbury: How Hot Will It Get?

SUDBURY, MA — Meteorological fall began on Friday, but it'll be way too summer-like to enjoy any pumpkin spice this week.

The first full week of September will come with a heat wave, with temperatures and humidity conspiring to push head indices into the mid-to-upper 90s over the next few days in the Sudbury area, according to the National Weather Service.

The last real round of extreme heat hit the region the week of July 24. Temperatures haven't been as high since, and even dropped into the 40s in some areas just last week.

The heat will be worse slightly to the west where a heat advisory covers the Connecticut River Valley, but the local temperatures will also be high enough to take note. Here's the week's forecast for the area — including a relatively cool end to the week.

Tuesday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 88. Northeast wind 3 to 5 mph.

Tuesday Night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 69. Calm wind.

Wednesday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 88. North wind around 5 mph becoming calm in the afternoon.

Wednesday Night: Mostly clear, with a low around 70. Light and variable wind becoming south around 6 mph.

Thursday: Sunny, with a high near 93. Southwest wind 3 to 7 mph.

Thursday Night: A slight chance of showers and thunderstorms before 10pm. Partly cloudy, with a low around 71. Southwest wind around 6 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%.

Friday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 89. South wind 7 to 14 mph.

Friday Night: Mostly cloudy, with a low around 71. South wind 9 to 14 mph.
