Timeline, New Details Released On Severe Weather Threat For CT

After another sunny and pleasant day today, wet and potentially stormy weather is expected to move in on Thursday, according to meteorologists.

The National Weather Service reports a warm front lifting through the region will bring humid and unsettled weather on Thursday.

It predicts two rounds of rainfall, with showers Thursday morning, then a chance of “strong to severe” thunderstorms later Thursday afternoon.

“Showers and thunderstorms are likely mid-day into the afternoon on Thursday,” the National Weather Service reports. “It is possible some of these storms may become severe. Damaging winds are the main concern.”

WFSB is calling Thursday a “First Alert Weather Day,” due to the unsettled weather. It predicts early showers due to a warm front, followed by partial clearing mid-day Thursday before possible storms later in the day.

“In advance of a cold front during the afternoon, isolated to scattered storms will be possible,” WFSB reports. “We’ll be monitoring the potential they could become strong to severe.”

Holiday weekend

The National Weather Service is predicting dry and pleasant weather for Friday through Father’s Day on Sunday. It will be sunny each day, with high temperatures reaching around 80 degrees.

“As we see it now, the upcoming weekend looks great!” WFSB reports. “Saturday will be dry with plenty of sunshine and a northwesterly breeze. Then Sunday, as we celebrate Dad and welcome in summer with the solstice (at 4:24 a.m.), the weather cooperates! While the day starts bright we’ll see a mix of sun and clouds during the afternoon. Highs will be near or just above 80 both days and feeling very comfortable with low humidity.”
