The Boston area will have a string of hot and humid days this holiday weekend with a thunderstorm possible on Sunday. Temps will mainly be in the mid to upper 80's with rising humidity.
However, in Northern New England a shower is more probable on Friday and Sunday afternoon. Temps will hold in the upper 70's to the mid 80's thru the holiday weekend. It should be great for the fireworks Monday night.
Also, the Cape and Islands surrounded by water will be cooler and more clouds will be around. However, there is less of a chance of a damaging thunderstorm later Sunday. It will still be a great beach weekend on the Cape as water temps continue to rise.

Tornadoes in MA!
This is a picture of the Tornado headed for Springfield, MA!
3 confirmed tornadoes touched down in MA yesterday and possibly more. One went right thru Springfield and caused major damage there. Over 100 structure were destroyed in Springfield alone, causing a few injuries. Another tornado caused damage in a central MA town, in a more rural area but still caused damage. No official report yet, but my guess is that it will be rated around and EF3.

EF 0: Winds of 65-85 MPH- a weak tornado. Causes some minor damage
EF 1: Winds of 85-110 MPH- Still weak. Uproots trees and damages mobile homes
EF 2: 111-135 MPH- Strong- Can damage homes and knock over flagpoles.
EF 3: 136-165 MPH-Severe- Possibly what hit Springfield, MA. Most homes destroyed.
EF 4- 166-199 MPH- Devastating- Complete destruction of neighborhoods.
EF5 -200 + MPH- Incredible- Complete wiping out of buildings. EF5 Tornado hit Joplin, MO.
