Weather Warnings End But Heat Continues To Bake Bridgeport

FAIRFIELD COUNTY, Conn.-- Breathe a sigh of relief, and say goodbye to the crazy "excessive heat warnings" and "heat advisories" from the weekend. They are over, along with the official heat wave, but it will still be pretty hot and sunny Monday, according to the National Weather Service.

Fairfield County will still see hot and sunny weather through midweek though the heat advisories have come and gone.
