Thunderstorms, Rain, Fog All Part Of Our Next Weather System In Connecticut

While we're sleeping tonight, rain and possibly thunderstorms are forecast, and the unsettled weather conditions may cause some slippery travel conditions for the Wednesday morning commute.

This isn't a major weather system, but rain and fog may pose some challenges for the Wednesday morning commute.

The National Weather Service said we may see some "steadier shower activity with perhaps some thunder into Wednesday morning, with the best chance for the eastern third of the region."

"....Another breezy, blustery day with wind gusts to around 30 mph in some areas with temperatures averaging near to slightly above normal with mainly middle 60s," the weather service said.

If Connecticut sees any thunderstorms, it's expected between 2 a.m. and 8 a.m., according to the weather service. Conditions will improve on Wednesday afternoon.

"Showers are likely overnight, lasting into and through tomorrow morning," said WFSB 3 TV meteorologists. "By the afternoon, expect drier conditions, though an isolated shower cannot be ruled out. Temperatures will be peak in the lower half of the 60s and the breeze (gustier than today) may make it feel a little cooler. Behind the front, Thursday will be breezy with a mix of sun and clouds. Highs will be near 60. Friday, the breeze starts to relax and temperatures will peak in the upper 50s. Also of note, Friday (10.24) is the day when the normal high temperature for the Hartford Area falls to 60." (Read more at WFSB 3 TV).
