Durham, Middlefield's Weekend Weather Includes Slight Chance of Storms

By BRIAN MCCREADY (Patch Staff)

It looks like a tale of two states regarding Connecticut’s forecast for the weekend of Friday, June 12.

The National Weather Service issued another “Hazardous Weather Outlook” for Hartford and Tolland County for the possibility of “isolated strong to severe thunderstorms” between 5 p.m. and 10 p.m. this evening.

“The main threat will be locally strong to damaging wind gusts with hail a secondary concern. Heavy rain may result in the potential for brief very localized flooding,” the National Weather Service writes.

As for the rest of Connecticut including Fairfield, New Haven, Middlesex, and New London counties, you’ll enjoy sunny skies on Friday with temps in the low- to mid-80s, and as of now, no chance of thunderstorms or showers.

On Saturday for all of Connecticut there is a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms during the day but the weather service stresses it’s just a slight chance. It appears it will be mostly cloudy on Saturday with temps in the low 80s.

On Sunday, plenty of sunshine is predicted, with highs in the mid-80s.
