This was the word people across the Mount Washington Valley used to describe the weather on Thursday as temperatures soared to the mid-90s and the dew points topped 70 into the oppressive level. While Thursday was expected to be the hottest day of the week, it looks like the three H’s (hazy, hot and humid) should be here through the weekend.
