CT Weather: Freeze Warning, Frost Advisory Issued

CONNECTICUT — We knew that it would get cold sooner than later, and it looks like that time has arrived. We'll see the coldest temperatures of the fall season so far over the next couple of days.

A freeze warning is in effect for interior sections of Fairfield County tonight to 8 a.m. Wednesday. Sub-freezing temperatures as low as 30 degrees expected.

"There is potential for a hard freeze (temperatures 28 degrees or below) Wednesday night into early Thursday morning," the weather service said.

For interior sections of New Haven, Middlesex and New London County, a frost advisory is in effect from 2 a.m. until 8 a.m. Wednesday. Temperatures as low as 34 degrees will result in frost formation.

"There is potential for widespread freeze conditions across interior southern Connecticut, with frost and local freeze conditions for the rest of the area, Wednesday night into early Thursday morning," the weather service said.
