WTNH predicts a cold front will move through the state Tuesday into Tuesday night, bringing a possible morning shower, and “another round of showers/thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening.”

The National Weather Service is predicting dry weather on Wednesday and Thursday, with highs in the mid-70s on Wednesday and mid-60s on Thursday.

According to the National Weather Service, while this week may see periods of rainy and breezy conditions, it is monitoring the potential for a stronger storm later this week.

It currently predicts “the strongest winds likely accompany a stronger rain storm Friday-Saturday.”
