Hail, Strong Thunderstorms, Wind For Southern CT Again: Timeline

SOUTHERN CONNECTICUT — Rinse and repeat seems to be the motto concerning the recent weather in Connecticut. More storms, more rain, more hail and more wind gusts are expected in southern Connecticut this afternoon and evening.

This will be the fourth straight day that stormy weather is expected in the state.

The National Weather Service said "Numerous showers and scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop this afternoon into early evening. These storms will produce heavy downpours, strong wind gusts and small hail. The threat for an isolated severe thunderstorm with damaging wind gusts and one inch hail is low. In addition, there is potential for localized urban and poor drainage flooding."

The storms are expected to develop anytime after 1 p.m. and continue through the evening but they will be scattered throughout the state.

And we can expect the same forecast on Wednesday too.

"Numerous showers and scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop Wednesday afternoon into early evening," the National Weather Service said. "A few storms may become severe, able to produce damaging winds gusts and hail at least one inch in diameter. In addition, there is potential for localized urban and poor drainage flooding."

As for the storms on Monday, New London County clearly got hit the hardest, according to the weather service's storm reports.

In Old Lyme, golf ball sized hail was reported near Sterling Hill Road at 3:50 p.m. One inch hail was reported in New London, and also in Old Lyme half dollar sized hail was reported. Additionally, one inch hail was also reported in the Sound View section of Old Lyme and one inch hail on Halls Hill Road in Colchester.
