All CT swimming areas open for hot weekend

All state park and local beaches are open for swimming this weekend.

And that’s good news with temperatures continuing to rise into the upper 80s and 90s.

The state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection said all 22 swimming areas have all passed weekly water quality tests.

That includes the four Long Island Sound beaches at Sherood Island in Westport, Silver Sands in Milford, Hammonasset in Madison and Rocky Neck in Niantic.

The high temperature on Saturday will be 86 degrees. Sunday will be a tad cooler with a high of 80.

The only thing that could closed the beaches is a heavy downpour of rain from thunderstorms late Saturday afternoon and evening.

Some local health departments order beaches to be closed if more than an inch of rain falls. The concern is contamination from runoff water.
