One Down Two To Go...1st Heat Wave of 2013

We need three days of 90+ temps to call this an official heat wave.  One down, two to go.  I think we got this one in the bag!

Bridgeport hit a new daily record high temperature on Thursday.  89 degrees breaks the previous record of 87 set back in 2007.  On Friday more records will be challenged as temperatures soar into the 90s away from the shoreline. The next couple of days will be partly to mostly sunny and muggy with an isolated thunderstorm late in the day.  Showers and thunderstorms will become more numerous late Sunday into Monday as a cold front approaches, bringing an end to the first heat wave of 2013.

Tonight: Early shower or storm, clearing and humid. Low: 60s

Tomorrow: Sunny to partly cloudy, hot and humid. Chance for an isolated late afternoon storm. Low 90s to mid inland, low to mid 80s along the shoreline. 

Saturday: Sunny to partly cloudy, hot and humid. Chance for an isolated late afternoon storm. Low 90s inland, low 80s along the shoreline.

Sunday: Partly to mostly cloudy, warm and humid with scattered showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon. High: Mid to upper 80s

Monday: Mostly cloudy with scattered showers and thunderstorms. Not as mild as recent days. High: Mid to upper 70s

Tuesday: A lingering shower possible early. Otherwise  turning considerably less humid with some clearing. High: Mmid to upper 70s.
