Soaking Weekend Rain But It's Not A Total Wash

A windswept soaking rain will impact the weekend.  But the timing of the heaviest rain will help salvage some of our outdoor plans. Saturday looks mainly dry with the chance for shower late in the day.  Some towns will remain dry until Saturday night when steadier rain moves in, coming down heavy at times. Early Sunday morning is a soaker with a few lingering showers through the rest of the day.  Some brightening or breaks of sun are possible in the afternoon. A warming trend arrives next week.

Tonight: Partly cloudy, great sleeping weather. Low: mid 50s to around 60 degrees.

Tomorrow: Increasing clouds, chance for a late day shower. High: low 70s. Heavy windswept rain moving in at night.

Sunday: Early morning soaking rain. A few lingering showers with clouds slowly breaking for some afternoon sunshine. High: mid 70s to around 80 degrees.

Monday: Partly cloudy, pleasant. High: upper 70s to around 80 degrees.

Tuesday: Partly cloudy, humid chance for afternoon showers or thunderstorms. High: upper 70s to lower 80s.

Wednesday: Turning sunny, less humid. High: low to mid 80s.

Heavy Rain This Weekend

Friday will start off cloudy with the chance for a shower or two (mainly in the morning).  Some clearing is possible in the afternoon, especially late day.  This weekend will feature a period of heavy rain and cooler than average temperatures. But at least it won’t be a total wash out. Saturday morning looks dry with the chance for a few afternoon showers.  Luckily, the heaviest rain holds off until Saturday night.  Early heavy rain Sunday will taper to scattered showers for the rest of the day.

Tonight: Shower or two. Low: Low to mid 60s.

Tomorrow: Chance for a few showers, mainly in the morning. Clouds break for some afternoon sunshine. High: mid 70s to around 80 degrees.

Saturday: Increasing clouds, showers possible in the afternoon with heavy rain at night. High: low 70s.

Sunday: Early heavy rain tapers to some scattered showers. Cool.  High: low to mid 70s.

Monday: Partly cloudy, milder. High: mid 70s to around 80 degrees.

Tuesday: Partly cloudy, chance for afternoon showers or thunderstorms. High: upper 70s to lower 80s.

Severe Storms Likely Tomorrow

Strong to severe thunderstorms are possible Tuesday afternoon. The greatest threat will be from 1 – 7 pm with damaging winds, large hail and vivid lightning. There is also a chance for a tornado somewhere in New England thanks to ample wind shear (wind direction that changes with height).

Tuesday will start off cloudy with a spotty shower. Then clouds will break for some sun leading to a warm and humid afternoon. The more sun we get, the stronger afternoon storms will be. If clouds linger, that will limit the severe potential. Storms will be scattered in nature which means not every town will one. Northern Connecticut has slightly better parameters or ingredients for severe weather.  But strong storms are possible anywhere in the state.

I expect the National Weather Service will issue a Severe Thunderstorm Watch shortly.  Perhaps even a Tornado Watch for part of the state tomorrow.  We’ll keep you posted!

Wet Dad's Day

Sunday morning heavy rain tapers to afternoon showers

The weather will not be perfect for outdoor plans with Dad this weekend. Saturday isn’t bad. But temperatures will remain cooler than average with increasing clouds. An isolated shower is possible too.  But the chance for rain goes up…way up on Sunday from the remnant moisture of once Tropical Storm Bill. Rain will be heavy at times Sunday morning. The afternoon looks drier and very humid with some brightening possible. But Saturday is still the safer bet for outdoor weekend plans. Summer arrives Sunday afternoon!

On Father’s Day the remnants of once Tropical Storm Bill will move into the northeast. Sunday looks humid and wet at times with scattered downpours and thunderstorms.

Weekend Sandwiched By Showers

A few showers or dying thunderstorms are possible tonight as a cold front approaches.  Luckily, the front will move through Connecticut after peak heating of the day. Otherwise we could have severe weather in the forecast like areas to our northwest.

Our mild, summerlike stretch continues this weekend with highs in the 80s right down to the beaches (albeit a few degrees cooler than inland areas). Any showers will end before 8 am on Saturday. The rest of the day features improvement. Clouds will break for sun and less humid air will filter in as the day progresses. Sunday looks great too!  Early fog will burn away revealing lots of sunshine.  Luckily if summer warmth is drying out your lawn, rain returns on Monday and some could be heavy.

Tonight: Chance for a few showers or a thunderstorm in spots. Mild and muggy. Low: Mid 60s to around 70 degrees.

Tomorrow: Clouds break for sunshine. Becoming less humid as the day progresses.  Mild. High: low to mid 80s.

Sunday: Areas of fog in the early morning. Mostly sunny. Just a few high clouds from time to time. High: low to mid 80s.

Sunday will remain sunny with a few high clouds mixing in late day.  But temperatures will run a few degrees cooler, especially for the beaches with a sea breeze developing. Thunderstorms return to the forecast on Monday followed by a return to summer warmth. We have a chance at hitting 90 degrees by Wednesday.
