An AIR QUALITY ALERT is up for the southern four counties of Connecticut, excepting interior Fairfield County.
What a miserable day we have on tap for today!! We're looking at the mid-90s today and have a pretty decent chance of those summer popup showers and thunderstorms, especially in the afternoon hours. The humidity, although it won't be as oppressive as yesterday, will still be quite high, so it will almost certainly feel like over 100 degrees during the day today, and that is very hard to do anything in- keep your water nearby and drink as much as you can, this is going to be a brutal one. I recommend trying to avoid being outside between the hours of noon and six if you can help it! Tomorrow and Sunday look much better, with mid-80s temperatures, very low humidity, and partly sunny conditions, perfect to go to the beach or your other outdoor plans. The early look at next week suggests wet weather is possible for both Monday and Tuesday thanks to some thunderstorms.
The Atlantic remains quiet today, and weakening Tropical Storm Celia has left the east Pacific basin and therefore out of the area I typically discuss, so it's out of mind. Hurricane Darby remains at category 1 intensity, featuring 90mph winds. A different system will likely become Tropical Storm Estelle today or tomorrow though, so the basin remains cranking at a great deal of intensity.
Today in weather history will not be used today in light of the terrorist attacks in Nice, France. My thoughts go out to all those effected by these awful events that have become all too common lately.
