A heat advisory was in place across much of Massachusetts for another day Thursday as temperatures again soared into the mid 90s in many spots.

An excessive heat warning was in place for parts of southern New Hampshire. 

As of 12 p.m., the region’s highest recorded air temperature was 94 degrees in Nashua, New Hampshire. Lawrence, Massachusetts clocked in at 90 degrees. It was slightly cooler in Worcester, which had its temperature measured at 88 degrees. 

In Boston, the city marked its third consecutive day with temperatures over 90 degrees, officially escalating this week’s spell of hot weather to heat wave status. 

With high humidity in addition to the soaring temperatures, heat index measurements included a scorching 106 degrees in Norwood. 

The heat index was 103 in Nashua near midday and 98 in Boston.

Heat and humidity on Wednesday triggered some storms across parts of New England, prompting severe thunderstorm warnings and scattered reports of damage in the storms’ wake. 

Near 1 p.m. Thursday, with conditions again ripe for stormy weather, the National Weather Service issued a severe thunderstorm watch for parts of New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine and Massachusetts.

The watch is scheduled to last until 8 p.m. and carries the potential for hail, damaging wind and frequent lighting where storms form.

While states from the Midwest to Maine sizzled Thursday, Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket were spared from the worst of the heat. 

Temperatures had claimed to just 77 degrees in Hyannis as of 12 p.m. Provincetown recorded its temperature at 78 degrees. 

Elsewhere in the state, Boston is forecast to start the day Friday with another quick warm up. But cooler air is expected to push on shore as the day goes on, likely making for a more comfortable experience at the city’s planned Celtics championship parade.

Virginia family gets keys to Habitat for Humanity’s first 3D-printed home in the US

By
(CNN) — One Virginia family received the keys to their new  3D-printed home  in time for Christmas. The home is Habitat for Humanity’s first 3D-printed home in the nation,  according to a Habitat news release. Janet V. Green, CEO of Habitat for Humanity Peninsula and Greater Williamsburg, told CNN it partnered with Alquist, a 3D printing company, earlier this year to begin the process. The 1,200-square-foot home has three bedrooms, two full baths and was built from concrete. The technology allowed the home to be built in just 12 hours, which saves about four weeks of construction time for a typical home. April Stringfield purchased the home through the  Habitat Homebuyer Program . She will move in with her 13-year-old son just in time for the holidays. “My son and I are so thankful,” Stringfield said in a  live feed streamed on Habitat’s Facebook  page. “I always wanted to be a homeowner. It’s like a dream come true.” To purchase the home, Stringfield logged hundreds of hours of

Lawsuit: High school football player says coaches forced him to eat pizza as punishment, violating religious beliefs

By
CANTON, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio high school football player who says coaches forced him to eat a pizza covered with pepperoni grease in violation of his religious beliefs is suing his former district and the ousted coaches. The former Canton McKinley High School athlete and his parents filed a federal civil rights suit this week seeking millions of dollars in damages and alleging violations of his religious freedom and constitutional rights. The athlete says in the lawsuit that coaches were notified he doesn’t eat pork or pork residue as a member of the Hebrew Israelite religious faith, but that they ordered him to eat the pizza as punishment for missing an offseason workout — and indicated his spot on the team was at risk if he didn’t. The coaches say the player chose to remove pepperoni and eat the pizza rather than an alternative food. They weren’t aware it violated his religious beliefs, according to a  defamation case they filed  previously against the teen’s father, his attorney a

Bergeron, Pastrnak and Bruins finish off Capitals in 5 games

By
WASHINGTON (AP) — Patrice Bergeron and David Pastrnak dazzled on offense, Tuukka Rask was rock solid in net and the Boston Bruins are moving on to the second round of the playoffs. Bergeron scored twice at crucial times after Pastrnak’s  highlight-reel  goal, Rask made 40 saves and the Bruins eliminated the Washington Capitals in five games with a 3-1 victory Sunday night. Bergeron delivered the dagger with 7:35 left to set up a second-round showdown against either the Pittsburgh Penguins or New York Islanders. Chants of “TUUKK!” emanated from a large group of black and gold-clad Boston fans who were part of the limited-capacity sellout crowd of 5,333. Those were occasionally interrupted by “We want the Cup!” — the trophy the Bruins last won a decade ago after a 39-year title drought. They’re 12 wins away, thanks to their best players dominating in Game 5. Pastrnak made it look easy putting the puck behind his back and through his legs, assisted on Bergeron’s first goal and was par
