Hazardous Weather Outlook Issued for Durham and Middlefield

Friday’s still a couple of days away but that hasn’t stopped the National Weather Service from issuing a “Hazardous Weather Outlook” for all of southern Connecticut already.

While no “Hazardous Weather Outlook” was issued for Friday in Hartford and Tolland counties as of yet showers and thunderstorms are still forecast there Friday afternoon.

In the “Hazardous Weather Outlook” statement, the National Weather Service says southern CT can expect “showers and thunderstorms ahead of a cold front and wave of low pressure may produce heavy rain capable of flooding and strong wind gusts.”

For Hartford and Tolland counties on Friday, showers and thunderstorms are also predicted for Friday afternoon and evening. The chance of unsettled weather in northern CT is currently at 60 percent.

There is also a chance of storms each day this weekend too in CT. Before we get to the weekend we’re still dealing with a heatwave on Wednesday and Thursday as temperatures will be around 90 degrees both days with sunny skies on both days.
