Stormy Weather For New Year's Eve In CT: Here's What To Expect

If you have plans on New Year's Eve, please make sure you bring an umbrella with you. Heavy rain moves in Monday afternoon and Connecticut can expect downpours just before the ball drops to usher in 2019. Another inch or two of rain is expected but temps will be around 50 degrees before falling swiftly on New Year's Day.

And for those of you who are curious when we may see snow again, it looks like there is a chance for some snow late Thursday and Friday. Of course it may also be a mix of rain and snow, according to the National Weather Service.

The National Weather Service says, "Monday will start out dry. As a warm front approaches in advance of the low, will develop beginning late afternoon and continue into Monday night. Rain will be heavy at times, with one to one and a half inches of rain expected. Temperatures will rise to above normal levels for this time of the year. The rain will move out late Monday night, with gusty winds and some sunshine expected by Tuesday afternoon."
