CT Weather: Another Coastal Storm To Bring More Rain, Wind

CONNECTICUT — A nor'easter dropped between 2-5 inches of rain on the state, led to flooding concerns and generated strong wind gusts that knocked out power to more than 13,000 residents on Wednesday.

And now it looks like part 2 is in the forecast beginning Friday night and all day Saturday. Another 2-3 inches of rain is forecast, especially in southern Connecticut, with wind gusts approaching 30 mph at times. This storm won't be nearly as bad as the two-day nor'easter that just wrapped up, but it still will be another significant storm.

Timeline of our next storm

Rain moves into Connecticut after 8 p.m. Friday and winds will gust up to 30 mph. Up to an inch of rain will fall late Friday. On Saturday, more rain is forecast, especially in the afternoon hours, and thunderstorms are possible too.

Another 1-2 inches of rain is possible, especially in southern parts of the state. The rain ends late Saturday and Halloween does look dry and sunny with temperatures into the mid 60s. Temperatures will dip to around 50 degrees on Halloween.

Election Day looks perfect with sunshine and temperatures around 60 degrees.
