RIGHT ALONG THE SHORE LINE
HEADLINES TODAY IT'S GONNA BE
HOT. IT'S GOING TO BE REALLY
SIZZLING HOT TEMPERATURES IN THE

AMOUNT OF SUNSHINE, SO
DEFINITELY VERY DIFFERENT THAN
THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS. IT WILL
BE A GOOD BEACH DAY, A GOOD POOL
DAY AND THEN WE'VE GOT THE
CHANCE FOR OUR FIRST HEAT WAVE

MARK THERE BECAUSE WE NEED TO
GET TO 90 DEGREES OR MORE WITHIN
THE NEXT THREE DAYS IN ORDER TO
MEET THAT HEATWAVE CRITERIA AND
THEN UNSETTLED WEATHER AGAIN FOR
THIS WEEKEND, WE'RE TRACKING
SOME MORE SHOWERS AND
POTENTIALLY MORE STORMS. SO
WE'LL KEEP YOU POSTED ON THAT.

A LITTLE MORE CLOUD COVER AND
MAYBE THE CHANCE FOR A COUPLE OF
SHOWERS BUT OTHERWISE WE WILL
STAY DRY. OUR EARLY WARNING
PINPOINT DOPPLER SHOWING US JUST
VERY DRY CONDITIONS OUT THERE
TOTALLY DIFFERENT STORY THAN

EVEN TROPICAL IN SOME LOCATIONS

FIREWORKS ALSO IN NEW HAVEN
TONIGHT, AND IT'S GOING TO BE
PRIME CONDITIONS FOR FIREWORKS
AND LIKE THE LAST COUPLE OF
NIGHTS, ACTUALLY LAST NIGHT THAT

STORM SYSTEM DID MOVE OUT EARLY
ENOUGH TO SEE THAT THE SEVEN DAY
FORECAST SHOWS US TEMPERATURES
ONCE AGAIN IN THE NINETIES. LOTS
OF SUNSHINE ON YOUR SCREEN FOR
THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS, BUT
THAT CHANGES HEADING INTO THE
