7-Hour Timeline For Severe Weather Released In CT By National Weather Service

CONNECTICUT — The upcoming weekend weather forecast in Connecticut looks perfect, with sunshine and temperatures in the low 80s.

On Friday, it will be mostly cloudy and dry for much of the day, but during the "evening hours," we can expect another round of rain and possibly strong-to-severe thunderstorms, according to WFSB 3 TV meteorologists.

"We’ll see a mix of clouds and sun (albeit a bit hazy/smoky) through most of the day. With a delay in rain/storm arrival time, temperatures likely reach the lower 80s. While a shower can’t be ruled out through midday, the greatest chance for wet weather comes during the evening hours," WFSB 3 TV meteorologists said.

"This is when thunderstorms in association with a cold front could be strong to severe. Because of this our *Alert* remains in place. The primary concerns in those storms that develop… damaging wind gusts, followed by heavy rain that could renew flooding concerns in a localized manner," WFSB 3 TV meteorologists said.

After a splendid weekend, the humidity returns and "late in the day the chance for rain and thunderstorms will also increase. Based on timing, how long it takes it to exit, some showers could linger into Tuesday morning." (Watch the full WFSB 3 TV weather forecast here).
