CT Weather: Several Rain Chances, Strong Wind Gusts In Forecast

Rain and wind will be impacting Connecticut at various points this week, but we will also experience sunny days, according to meteorologists.

WFSB is predicting a cold front could bring showers or even downpours tonight, between 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. Tonight could be breezy also, with winds of up to 20 miles per hour, according to the station.

Election Day forecast details

For Election Day on Tuesday, both the National Weather Service and WFSB are predicting dry, sunny weather, with temperatures reaching into the upper 50s.

It is expected to be windy Tuesday, however. The National Weather Service predicts gusts will be up to 17 miles per hour, while WFSB cautions that winds could gust up to 35 miles per hour at times.

Forecasters predict a dry day on Wednesday, with highs in the upper 50s again, with another chance of showers Wednesday night into Thursday.

WFSB anticipates Thursday will be “delightful,” with sunny skies and temperatures in the mid-50s again, though it will be “breezy.” It predicts Friday will be partly cloudy with highs reaching into the mid-50s.

Weekend forecast details

The National Weather Service is predicting rain again on Friday night. Temperatures on Friday and Saturday will reach into the upper 50s or even hit 60 degrees, it predicts.

“There is still some disagreement to the model guidance, but it appears another quick-moving cold front overnight Friday into Saturday could bring another chance for some shower activity,” WFSB reports.

The National Weather Service and WFSB predict a cooler day Sunday, with temperatures reaching into the low 50s, and the potential for showers again.

Next week is expected to bring cooler temperatures.

“Models are indicating a cool start to the following week,” WFSB reports.
