EARLY WARNING WEATHER ALERT: Potential storms today, intense heat laterHARTFORD, CT (WFSB) - Some storms may precede what could be the state's most intense heat wave of the year so far. Channel 3 issued an Early Warning Weather Alert for the late-week heat. On Wednesday, the humidity will be noticeably higher as high pressure moves offshore allowing a warm front to pass through the region. "Temperatures peak will be a product of sunshine, likely topping out between 85 and 90," said meteorologist Scot Haney. A disturbance arrives during the afternoon and evening and will mix with the remnants of what was once storm Barry. Haney said that will lead to the potential for thunderstorms and torrential rain. "The threat for heavy rain and thunderstorms continues [Wednesday night,]" Haney said. "In fact, the wet and somewhat stormy weather actually lasts through [Thursday.]" One to 2 inches of rain is possible. Some parts of the state could see more. Temps will be held near 80 degrees for Thursday. The big-time heat comes Friday.

"We’ll end the week with a surge of heat and humidity," Haney said. "After morning fog burns off Friday, a partly-to-mostly sunny sky will help to boost temperatures into the 90s." Saturday looks to be even hotter, perhaps close to 100 degrees away from Long Island Sound. Sunday will again be hot, with highs in the mid to upper 90s. "Over the three-day period, the heat combined with high humidity will lead to dangerous conditions as heat index values could go as high as 110 degrees," Haney said. At the beaches, highs should be in the upper 80s to near 90. "The brutal heat and humidity will last into Monday, then end with the passage of a cold front that will likely produce scattered thunderstorms," Haney said.

State leaders to celebrate hemp-growing programSOUTH WINDSOR, CT (WFSB) - As the growing season continues, Connecticut's Department of Agriculture has been processing applications from dozens of farmers interested in growing hemp. Wednesday, local, state and business leaders said they'll be coming together to applaud the state's hemp-growing pilot program. They also said they'll highlight the program's impact on the state. Earlier this year, Gov. Ned Lamont signed legislation to create the program. The Department of Agriculture said it already approved more than 30 licenses for prospective growers. More applications are under review. In South Windsor, officials said the Incredible Edibles company will be allowed to grow almost 20 acres of hemp products. The farm bureau estimated an acre of hemp could generate profits ranging from about $37,000 to $150,000. Experts said that while hemp and marijuana are grown the same way and look and smell similar, marijuana has THC and hemp has CBD and can produce CBD oil. They said CBD is a non-intoxicating substance that can be useful in treating everything from anxiety to acne. Wednesday, the coalition of state, local and business leaders will gather on Main Street in South Windsor at 3 p.m. to talk about the program.
New Haven opening its cooling centers todayNEW HAVEN, CT (WFSB) - Cooling centers in New Haven opened their doors on Wednesday to give families some relief from the growing humidity, and later the heat. Mayor Toni Harp warned residents about the high temperatures expected at the end of this week. She issued an excessive heat alert, which goes into effect at noon on Wednesday. Channel 3 has been alerting viewers about the heat since earlier this week. The city also warned people to think twice about opening a fire hydrant. It called it dangerous and illegal. "Also when people start to tamper with hydrants, there is an issue too," said Chief John Alston, New Haven Fire Department. "They mess up the threads, they corrupt the threads, so now when we do connect to them, we can’t get a secure connection." The cooling centers opening as part of New Haven's alert will be open as long as the heat and humidity stick around. The centers include certain libraries, senior centers, city parks and splash pads. Officials also urged people to check on their neighbors.
