Tuesday will warm a little more as humidity starts to gradually increase. As a result, a few rain showers will be possible by Tuesday afternoon and evening.
The big weather story this week is the large warm-up expected. Highs will be back in the 80s by Wednesday before warming to near 90 on Thursday! Dew point temperatures should warm into the 70s, so a heat index near the mid-90s is possible by Thursday ahead of storm chances.
A storm system is expected to sweep across the east coast on Thursday. It's still several days out, but if this system can roll through Connecticut during the afternoon and evening hours, it could create some severe weather close by. Stay tuned for updates.
Even after Thursday's rain chance, above average temperatures are expected through the second half of June. The official first day of summer is on Friday, which is also the longest day of the year.
