Special Weather Statement Issued for Southern Connecticut

The National Weather Service has issued a Special Weather Statement for Southern Connecticut for the possibility of dense fog developing tonight, which could cause difficulties if you're driving tonight.

In the statement, the weather service says, "Areas of fog will develop through the night as a warm front approaches from the south and passes to the north late. Dense fog is possible, especially along the coast, with the visibility lowering to 1/4 mile or less.

"Anyone out driving later tonight should be ready for rapid fluctuations in visibility, use low beam headlights or fog lamps when encountering fog, and allow extra braking distance in case sudden stops are needed."

And will it ever stop raining? More rain is likely tonight and showers and thunderstorms are possible on Sunday. However, the good news is that the chance for rain and storms on Sunday is around 50 percent, and we're definitely due for a weather break.

There is good news in the forecast finally, Monday looks great, just in time for the return to work.

The weather service says, "On Sunday clouds will remain as a cold front approaches from the north and west. Before the front moves through later in the day there will be the chance of some light showers. Temperatures will be warmer with highs in the 70s, except closer to 80 for New York City and interior sections. Behind the cold front for the late afternoon and evening some partial clearing will move in as the winds shift to the northwest, bringing in drier air for Sunday night."

"The sun will finally return on Monday with seasonably warm temperatures. Highs are expected to reach the middle and upper 70s..."
