A HEAT ADVISORY is up for my entire forecast area except for Tolland County.
Western CT has a MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER today. The rest of the state has a SEE TEXT risk.
Today is going to be absolutely 100% awful. We're heading into the 90s again today, but this time with high humidity...ack! Thankfully, thunderstorms are likely tonight, and they could be severe, especially in the early evening hours (5-8 or so). The main threats are high wind and hail as these storms will pack quite a punch! As we move forward into the rest of the week, it looks just as bad, unfortunately. Not only will highs be in the 90s (in some cases well into the 90s), but it will be rather humid as well. Thunderstorms are possible every single day beginning on Thursday right through the upcoming weekend, but it is far too early to tell if those will be severe, so in the meantime, just keep your eyes to the skies this evening!

The Atlantic remains quiet, but Tropical Storm Darby has taken a very strange path and has passed right through all the Hawaiian Islands...yikes!!! The system did not turn north as quickly as expected, and HI payed the price. Fortunately, it wasn't particularly strong at the time, and damage appears to have been minimal. Tropical Storm Frank and Hurricane Georgette are also active at this time, but they pose no threat to land at all.
Today in weather history- July 25, 1956- Dense fog near Nantucket, MA causes the ship Andrea Doria to collide with the Stockholm, ultimately sinking the Doria and killing 52 people. Fog, for how unexciting it is to look at and experience, is undoubtedly one of the most dangerous types of weather and must be treated as such by boaters and drivers alike.
