Forecast Discussion 6/3:
Morning satellites imagery shows mainly clear skies across the region. After several days of seasonable temperatures, summer-like warmth is set to make a return to western Connecticut as we head toward the end of the week. With high pressure building in, temperatures will steadily climb through Thursday before reaching their peak on Friday and Saturday.
Highs on Thursday should reach the 80s across much of the region, but the real heat arrives Friday and Saturday when many inland locations surge into the lower and middle 90s.
The good news is that humidity levels will remain relatively comfortable for early June standards. Dew points are expected to stay mostly in the 50s and near 60 degrees, meaning the air won't feel nearly as oppressive as it often does during summer heat waves. While it will certainly be hot, heat index values should remain close to actual air temperatures, likely preventing the need for any heat advisories.
The forecast becomes more uncertain by the weekend. Most model guidance still suggests that the majority of Saturday will remain dry for much of the day, making it the better outdoor day of the weekend. However, a developing storm system approaching from the west could trigger scattered showers and thunderstorms late Saturday afternoon or evening, The shower and storm threat will likely linger through Sunday as a cold front slowly sags south. The exact timing and intensity windows will need to be further refined in the coming days. Temperatures get notably cooler into early next week.
