Severe Storms Forecast For CT: Here's When, What To Expect

CONNECTICUT — The weather is expected to be stormy and wet in the next few days in Connecticut, according to forecasters.

WFSB is reporting that an approaching cold front on Saturday will lead to “strong to severe” storms. This front is expected to mean showers could linger into Sunday, according to WFSB.

Brian Frugis, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, also said a rainy pattern is setting up, and he said showers and thunderstorms are likely Saturday afternoon into Sunday.

“All day Sunday, there will be on and off showers and thunderstorms in the area,” Frugis said. “Temperatures this weekend will be warm, with Saturday seeing mid to upper 70s, and Sunday seeing highs in the upper 60s.”

WFSB reports that Connecticut’s weather will be in a wet and unsettled pattern into early next week, followed by heavier rain on Tuesday that could lead to flooding.

“Early next week will see a continued cloudy and rainy weather pattern, with steadier rainfall,” Frugis said. “Beyond Tuesday, the area will see improving weather for later in the week.”
