Connecticut saw clear skies and high temperatures Sunday, and the National Weather Service predicted more for the rest of the week.<\/p>\n

“The main story this week will be the heat”, a Sunday morning update<\/a> from the NWS forecast office in Upton, NY read.<\/p>\n

“High pressure builds up on Wednesday but weakens and we are under the influence of strong high pressure offshore,” the forecast said. “This allows a southwesterly flow and a warm moist air mass to come in.”<\/p>\n

The heat will peak Thursday, with temperatures in the mid-90s to low to mid-100s in the region, the weather service said.<\/p>\n

With dew points expected to be in the upper 60s and low 70s, conditions will look even warmer, the NWS said.<\/p>\n

Temperatures were slightly cooler Sunday than Saturday, and the weather service predicted a slight chance of rain Monday night.<\/p>\n

The heat is expected to increase as the week progresses, with highs in the 80s Monday and Tuesday with humid conditions and highs in the upper 80s.<\/p>\n

Relief from the heat could come later in the week with the arrival of a cold front that will bring showers and thunderstorms as early as Thursday afternoon, the NWS said, though more likely later in the day.<\/p>\n

“This could have an impact on high temperatures,” the weather service said.<\/p>\n
