PROVIDENCE -- You might have heard a heat wave could be coming, so here's the scoop:

According to their most up-to-date forecast, the National Weather Service is calling for a high temperature of 88 degrees for the Providence area today, and 91 degrees on Friday and Saturday.

A heat wave, according to Bill Simpson at NWS, means at least three days with temperatures reaching 90 degrees or higher.

"It might not be official, but it could come very close," he said from the office in Taunton.

And since temperatures are taken at T.F. Green Airport in Warwick, it's possible other parts of the state will, officially, experience a heat wave.

But with the humidity and, the south winds, and the sun beating down on a clear, cloudless day, one thing is clear about this weekend:

"Just because it isn't an official heat wave doesn't mean it's not going to be darn uncomfortable," Simpson said.
