Good weather all the way into the fourth. Right. Uh, this week. Yeah, it looks pretty good. So, if this is your vacation week, you're looking out until the end of the week and this is where things get sticky and uncomfortable again, temperatures are going to rise and humidity levels are going to come up and the two combined will help produce more showers and thunderstorms. So, we've seen our fair share recently. This is a nice break over the next few days, but Thursday it feels muggy Friday, it's gonna feel uncomfortable and then by the time the weekend rolls around it's going to feel tropical. So, looking ahead in terms of rain, we're not looking at very much high pressures around right now. That's keeping us slightly cooler and more comfortable. There will be a chance of showers and storms Thursday and then more bubbling up towards the end of the week and into the weekend, it's not gonna be raining the entire time. They do look very scattered. But with that increase in humidity and heat, of course, it'll be much easier to get those storms to pop, very comfortable weather through the middle of the week and then things will start to change a little by Wednesday night and Thursday, you may feel the humidity levels come up, but temperatures aren't that low eighties. This is very seasonable for us. Heading into Thursday though Thursday morning, it starts to feel warmer temperatures near Orange. Bridgeport will be in the seventies for the morning. By the afternoon, highs are going to climb well into the eighties talking some middle eighties here, but feeling like the upper eighties and maybe close to 90 degrees on the holiday itself. So if you are going to be out the pool, that will be nice and comfortable, the beach will be a comfortable spot as well. But keep in mind, there could be some thunderstorms popping up and then the same thing on Friday to temperatures will be warmer and it's the feels like temps that start to climb at that point. Looking back on today, the high temperatures weren't bad at all with highs in the seventies and eighties. This was super comfortable stuff and great weather after the storms that we had yesterday. So as we take a look at future casts hour by hour tonight, it's nice and quiet. The sky is mainly clear. Waking up tomorrow morning, we have temperatures in the sixties and then we go up from there. So highs are back into the eighties the next couple of days. It's going to be pretty quiet and calm around here. But then things do start to heat up. Mother Nature tries to bring her own fireworks in for the holiday and I'll be right back with much more on that forecast.

Lawmakers consider pension changes after trooper killed in line of duty

Well support continues to roll in for the family of Trooper first class Aaron Pelletier who died after he was hit by a vehicle during a traffic stop. Last month, the family was recently told that they cannot collect on his pension. They say because Pelletier himself didn't meet the requirements to receive his pension when he was hit and killed. Now lawmakers are considering changes to the pension system. Pelletier was vested in the state system because he worked more than 10 years, but he did not meet the criteria to collect that pension, which is 25 years of employment or reaching the age of 55.
