WEST HAVEN, Conn. -

Police in West Haven, Connecticut are searching for a man they say tried to rob a Dunkin Donuts from the drive-through lane on Saturday.

Police say the suspect asked the drive-through worker to break a $100 bill.

When the clerk refused, the man tried forcing his way through the window and announced he was robbing the store; but the employee just grabbed a pot of hot coffee and threw it in the man's face.

The man jumped back in his car and quickly fled.

    A blustery and chilly start to Memorial Day weekend! It stays windy tonight but clouds slowly clear out as low pressure towards our north departs.

    We will see much more sunshine Sunday with a little less wind and warmer high temperatures around 70 degrees.

    Back to normal by Memorial Day with high temps in the mid 70s -- it will be a beautiful holiday!
