Timeline Of When The Rain Arrives And Ends Sunday In Connecticut

Because it’s Labor Day weekend many people have outdoor plans and if you have a barbecue scheduled Sunday, here’s an updated timeline of when to expect the rain to arrive and end. The rain is expected to move into the southern and western part of the state after 9 p.m. Saturday, 11 p.m. in the central portion of Connecticut and after midnight in the northern part of the state, according to the National Weather Service.

A steady rain is expected to fall until around 10 a.m. Sunday before it tapers off to showers. The chance for showers and possibly a thunderstorm continues until around 3 p.m. After 3 p.m. there is only a slight chance of some scattered showers up until 8 p.m. Up to an inch of rain is possible between late Saturday night and Sunday morning and early afternoon.

The actual Labor Day forecast is beautiful and a return to summer temporarily as we’ll see a lot of sun and temps around 80 degrees. (To sign up for free, local breaking news alerts from more than 100 Connecticut communities click here.)

WTNH News 8 Meteorologist Gil Simmons wrote on Facebook, “...rain tonight-Sunday midday. Lots of moving parts with the #Irma2017 forecast track. We all need to watch this one VERY closely. I think the forecast track will fluctuate & possible US East Coast impact will vary... Will be updating you on the scenarios. If you have friends & family near the Atlantic from Florida all the way up here through New England, tell them I said to watch this one closely! Please share the info & my page so we can watch this together.”
