Pro Lacrosse and Pop Culture Icons During a Cambridge Heatwave
Prepare for a high-intensity weekend as temperatures climb toward 98 degrees. Despite the heat, it is a great time to be in the city with the Premier Lacrosse League at Harvard Stadium and Fan Expo taking over downtown.
Expect near triple-digit heat with highs averaging 98 degrees and overcast skies throughout the weekend. Friday late afternoon offers the best outdoor window before light drizzle potentially arrives on Saturday.
