THIS MORNING… Strong storms are being reported in Northern Litchfield County at this time (3:24am) with frequent lightning and thunder in this part of the state. Let these storms pass on by before you think of heading out. And it’s soupy out there, temps are in the lower to mid 70s, so brace yourself for a warm and muggy start. THE REST OF THIS WEEK... The Hartford Area reached 90° yesterday, kicking off the second heat wave of 2026.

As we begin July, we enter a stretch of *First Alert Weather Days* thanks to a surge of heat & humidity that will reach dangerous levels. They start today and last through Sunday. Not only will we have our 2nd heat wave of the year, but records will likely be challenged (specifically tomorrow). Regardless, heat index values reach between 100 and 110°! We’ll also be monitoring, at times, the threat for storms. Furthermore, air quality across the region becomes unhealthy for sensitive groups.

Today, as we close out the month of June, our 2nd heat wave of the year gets underway as mugginess increases. We need 3 consecutive days 90 or higher to qualify… and we’ll easily achieve the criteria (not only inland for the Hartford Area, but also for Bridgeport). The building heat and humidity is our Next Big Thing.
