When Will the Heatwave and Thunderstorm Chances End in Ridgefield?

RIDGEFIELD, CT — Some good news concerning answering the above headline. We’re still expecting to hit 90 degrees again on Monday but the humidity will be much less of an issue and it won’t feel like 110 degrees as it did for the past few days.

And it will be mostly sunny Monday and no chance of thunderstorms, well until Tuesday and Wednesday too. So we get a one day reprieve on stormy weather. Also for the first time in a week a “Hazardous Weather Outlook” hasn’t been issued for Connecticut. We’ll gladly take it. Before we get to the 7-day forecast, next weekend as of right now looks almost-perfect, sunny skies and temps in the low 80s.
