Good Thursday all-
A HEAT ADVISORY is up for Hartford, Tolland, and Windham counties.
Today is going to be absolutely horrendous- temps will be in the 90s with oppressive humidity and thus...treat today like it will be in the 100s. As for thunderstorms, there is a SEE TEXT risk today, but that is not my primary concern. Yes, today probably will feature some of these but it will not be the top story. That said, I was kinda expecting that to be true yesterday and look where it got me...
Although the NWS has not confirmed it, the official Steve report (:P) can confirm that a tornado hit North Haven yesterday at about 1:30 PM as a video has surfaced of the storm that shows a very blatantly obvious tornado spinning up near Montowese Ave. This was completely unexpected, but there was some low level wind shear and the air was kinda unstable. It was really a pretty pedestrian setup though, but...well the weather can do strange things sometimes, and that is exactly what it did. It's the first tornado to hit Connecticut since July 27, 2014 in Wolcott.
No development is expected in the Atlantic or Pacific basin.
Today in weather history- August 11, 1944- The all-time record high of 101 occurs in Burlington, VT.
Today also marks the end of the official "dog days of summer", which began July 3, and are denoted by the time of year when the dog star Sirius rises with the sun. It certainly will feel like them today though!
