Connecticut Weather Forecast: Rainy Period Continues

But we need the rain right?

For the first time this summer Connecticut is in the midst of a sort of prolonged rainy stretch which began Friday night, picked up again Saturday night and continues Sunday through Tuesday.

The rain from this period of time won’t restore us to normal rainfall levels but we’ll take all that we can. It also won’t be a complete washout during this time as showers and storms will be off and on throughout this time period.

There is also some good news though if you have outdoor plans later on Sunday.

NBC CT Meteorologist Darren Sweeney writes “It will not rain the entire day, in fact, most of the showers will take place this morning. Lots of clouds but showers will be widely scattered.”

Here are the latest details on the rain and how much we can expect over the next few days via the National Weather Service:

Sunday: Showers and thunderstorms are possible and up to an inch of rain is expected in southern CT and up to a half inch of rain in Hartford and Tolland counties. It will be mostly cloudy with temps in the upper 70s.

Some thunderstorms are possible this afternoon and evening. Another tenth or a quarter of an inch of rain is possible tonight.

Monday: Another chance of showers and storms and some of the rain could be heavy. Temps will be in the upper 70s again. Showers and storms are also possible on Monday night too.
