WEATHER UPDATE: Hazardous Weather Outlook Issued for the Area

We'll give you the latest weekend weather update, which includes the chance of frost!

It’s been a beautiful week of weather thus far and we’re this close to the weekend but before we get there, we’ll have to deal with gray skies across all of Connecticut on Friday with a chance of showers and a thunderstorm or two.

The National Weather Service has issued a “Hazardous Weather Outlook” for Hartford and Tolland counties for a “low-risk” of an isolated strong storm or two on Friday and Friday evening.

Friday’s forecast isn’t a washout as we’re looking at no more than a quarter of an inch of rain for Connecticut. The showers end around midnight and will lead to a pretty perfect autumn weekend.
