Storm Watch Team Meteorologist Steve Teeling says summer temperatures arrive early with heat and humidity sticking around for Saturday and Sunday. Highs will be in the upper-80s along the shoreline and low- to mid-90s inland.
A heat advisory was issued in Fairfield, New Haven, Middlesex and New London counties from noon to 8 p.m. Saturday as high temperatures and humidity could cause heat-related illnesses to occur.
A cold front will come through late Sunday night and will bring an end to the summer-like weather. Teeling says it will be much cooler and less humid on Monday and for the rest of the week.
