Severe Thunderstorm Watch Issued 6/23/15

The National Weather Service has issued a Severe Thunderstorm Watch for all of Connecticut untill 4 pm est. It looks like the chance of storms is increasing since the sun is staying out longer than expected, allowing temps to rise into the 80's already with dewpoints up into the 70's! It's definitely muggy enough for a severe thunderstorm!

Severe Thunderstorm Watch!

It's the first Severe Thunderstorm Watch for southern Connecticut in a while, if not since last fall or summer! 

It's another sign that summer is getting closer! Remember any weather watch just means that the conditions are favorable for the weather (in this case thunderstorms) to occur. A warning means the storm is active and moving into your area. 

So we'll see if the conditions unfold to give us some thunderstorms this afternoon! Although, the damp and cloudy morning so far has me thinking that the air along the coast will be more stable and less conducive to severe storms.
