All of Western Massachusetts is under a Heat Advisory from the National Weather Service today. The forecast calls for heat index values up to 103 degrees in Eastern Hampden, Hampshire and Franklin counties.

Temperatures in Boston will likely reach 97 degrees today, with the heat index making it feel like 102 degrees. Springfield will see the same.
Relief is not expected until Thursday, when high temperatures are only expected to be around 75.
