The atmopshere will be most certainly "juiced" today due to the heating of the Sun, high dew points and humidity levels, and hottest temperatures of the year thus far across southwestern Connecticut.
Strong thunderstorms are expected to develop early this evening into tonight. Some thunderstorms may contain heavy rain, gusty winds, and small hail. In fact, there is even a two percent chance of a tornado across the region.
Here is the Storm Prediction Center's regional severe weather outlook for today, including the potential for severe weather, tornadoes, wind, and hail.
