We have some interesting weather developing over the next few days, changing seasons, basically. And by the time we get to Sunday, it's going to be warmer but rainy and windy. So much rain, about 2 to 3 inches could fall that that may lead to some flooding. We may also have some damaging winds. Winds could gust as high as about 50 miles an hour and that's enough to possibly cause some power outages. So make sure all your devices are charged that knock down or destroy some of those holiday decorations. So please secure the objects outside your home if you can before Sunday. And then we want to watch the coast for some title flooding during our high tide cycle coming in Sunday into Monday. Now, tomorrow it's a chilly start to the morning but a better finish. Much warmer by the afternoon, winds are generally, I don't foresee any major issues on the roads due to the weather. Enjoy the day because it's quiet temperatures in the forties. So you still need some nice warm layers, but you really don't need the heavy duty winter coat. You will need the umbrellas and all that rain gear. Waking up Monday morning from that storm coming in late Sunday, temperatures are going to crash after that. Highs back into the forties and lows in the twenties next week.

Ridge Recovery Center addresses the growing numbers of people fighting substance abuse

My name is Roger. My position is facility manager. My dad was a world war two veteran and he was such a patriot. I joined the service in 1981 and drinking was a big thing. And uh you know, being a loose cannon, I didn't recognize some issues that were taking place over indulging. That was me. And in 2014, I was in so much pain. My leg just uh excruciating pain. These are the results of the alcohol. Next thing, you know, I lost my leg and it's tough. And that was a great change in my life. The addictions that are taking place in Connecticut are overwhelming. You know, the building was originally built in 1959. It was kind of like a community retreat center and very much so a place of healing. I got hired on for facility manager like everybody, you have to keep the lights on in March of 2018, that was our last retreat during that three years. I heard every tiny noise there was in a building was like, you know, reflection of the past, you know, and somebody came at the door and was Hartford Health Care and Hartford Health Care from the beginning had a vision of a great recovery center. I mean, you hear of people, OD professionals, young people losing their life over drugs. The Ridge Recovery Center is going to help people like myself change what you do today. This place has been serving the people since 1959 and it's gonna continue.
