CT Weather: Feels Like 100 Degrees Tuesday, Severe Storm Chance

CONNECTICUT — The heat and humidity we've been dealing with for the past several days shows no quit, at least for now.

The National Weather Service has issued a hazardous weather outlook and a heat advisory for all of Connecticut Tuesday. Temps will climb once again into the mid 90s and it may feel hotter than 100 degrees too.

There is also a chance for thunderstorms this afternoon and evening, though that appears to be more isolated. And if we get a storm it won't really cool things down as temps will remain above 90 degrees on Wednesday too.

Temps begin to dip below 90 on Thursday but it will still be warm with temps into the upper 80s. There is a slight chance of storms on Thursday too.

WTNH News 8 Chief Meteorologist Gil Simmons said, "Sunny and very warm through early afternoon! I am expecting the heat index or how it feels outside to get all the way up between 95° and 105° today. Make sure you are drinking some water! Please pay attention this afternoon there could be a couple of severe thunderstorms moving through. A strong wind gust would be the main threat!"
