**** The information in this email pertains to the following areas only:****

*- In Connecticut: Litchfield County*

*- In Massachusetts: Berkshire County*
*- In Vermont: Bennington & Windham Counties*

Dear Emergency Managers and other partners,

Happy Independence Day!

*Heat and Heavy Rainfall Potential the next several days.*

Our confidence in a three day period of hot temperatures and humid
conditions extending from today July 4 to Saturday July 6 remains unchanged.
Such conditions may produce dangerous heat conditions with heat index
values reaching into the mid-90s in portions of the Hudson and Mohawk
Valley.

Humidity values are expected to be the highest on Saturday which means
areas from the mid-Hudson Valley into the Greater Capital Region could see
heat index values near 95F. Should confidence continue to increase, heat
advisories will need to be issued.  Heat safety tips and resources are
available at:  https://www.weather.gov/safety/heat (also linked from our
web page)

In addition to the heat, the chance for thunderstorms increases Friday into
Saturday. Some thunderstorms may produce very heavy rainfall as our region
has been highlighted within a 'Slight Risk' of excessive rainfall.  See
attached graphic for details.
