A severe thunderstorm watch that was in effect for northern Connecticut has expired.

A severe thunderstorm warning was issued for Hartford county Tuesday afternoon but has since expired.

A severe thunderstorm watch has been issued for Hartford, Litchfield, Tolland and Windham counties until 10 p.m.

Earlier today, the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection issued an air quality alert for all of Connecticut except for Litchfield County due to the western wildfires and the resulting unhealthy fine particle levels.

Yesterday, the smoke and haze became so dense, dispatchers across northern Connecticut received dozens of 911 calls from people who believed there was a fire nearby.
