Thunderstorms are possible this afternoon and evening and NBC Connecticut has declared today a First Alert Weather Day.
Stronger cells could bring briefly heavy rain, frequent lightning and gusty winds that cause damage.
High temperatures will reach 90 to 95 inland, but it will feel like 100 degrees for a little while, according to NBC Connecticut meteorologist Bob Maxon.
It will be cooler on Tuesday, with high temperatures in the mid-80s.
