Southern CT Weather: 60 MPH Wind Gusts Monday, Snow Wednesday?

SOUTHERN CONNECTICUT — The National Weather Service has already issued a hazardous weather outlook in advance of potentially strong wind gusts across southern Connecticut on Monday afternoon.

The weather service said, "A frontal system will move across the Tri-State area Monday and Monday night. There is potential for strong winds."

WFSB 3 TV meteorologist Lorin Richardson shares more details on the potentially "damaging wind gusts" on Monday. She said on social media that the region could see gusts up to 60 mph and power outages are a potential concern.

The weekend forecast details

It will feel like a December weekend forecast with temperatures only reaching into the low 40s but it will be sunny both days.

Is that snow in the forecast?

We'll see....It is possible but definitely not a guarantee either. Around daybreak Monday, rain showers are possible and temperatures rising to near 60 on Monday and of course the increased strong wind gusts.

Tuesday is back to sun and cold temperatures, and the weather service said there is a 30 percent chance of snow after 1 a.m. Wednesday and snow could continue through Wednesday morning. The chance for snow increases to 70 percent on Wednesday morning. Because this is several days away, no one has said how much snow we might receive as the forecast could definitely change between now and then.

By next Friday, we're back to near 50 degrees! Next week looks interesting from a weather standpoint, and it's something to keep an eye on at least, according to Fox 61 TV chief meteorologist Rachel Frank.
