Temperatures will be cooler at the shoreline thanks to the cooling influence from Long Island Sound. Water temperatures are in the refreshing 50s.
A cold front late Sunday will bring relief from the heat. Thunderstorms will accompany the front and some of the storms could be strong to severe Sunday afternoon and evening.
