A Severe Thunderstorm Watch is in effect for southern
Connecticut until 2 AM Thursday. The biggest concern with any thunderstorms
that develop will be wind damage.
A Wind Advisory is in effect from 10 PM Wednesday night into
7 AM Thursday morning. Winds will increase tonight out of the south from
20 to 30 mph with a few gusts between 40 and 50 mph. Those higher wind gusts
are most likely within a heavier downpour or thunderstorm. If strong storms
develop, gusts could reach 70 mph. Scattered power outages are possible.
Temperatures will sky-rocket tonight, approaching 60
degrees! The warmer air will help boost instability out ahead of tonight’s
worst weather. The heaviest rain and threat for strong storms will be
between 11 PM – 3 AM.
Rain ends before daybreak on Thursday. The rest of the day
will be breezy and mild with mostly cloudy skies and the chance for an isolated
shower.
Then after an active start to the week, the rest of the week
will be very calm in comparison. It’s noticeably cooler Friday and Saturday, in
the 30s. But the chill won’t last. 50s return early next week.
