WEATHER UPDATE: More Showers and Storms Forecast For Ellington and Somers

Like almost everyday this week, there is a chance of showers and thunderstorms for all of Connecticut on Wednesday.

Showers and thunderstorms could begin anytime after 11 a.m., but the National Weather Service predicts if we do get showers and storms, it will mostly likely be in the afternoon and early evening hours.

The weather service writes that the chance of showers and storms is 60 percent, and if it does rain, expect it to be heavy for that period of time.

The rain is expected to end by 8 p.m. for all of Connecticut. A Hazardous Weather Outlook has been issued for Hartford and Tolland counties because in addition to the chance for showers and storms, it’s also possible there could be some flooding concerns too.

After we get through today, we’ll enjoy better weather for Thursday and Friday with sunny skies and temps around 80 degrees.

Beginning on Saturday, and through Tuesday, there is a chance for storms each day, but sun is also forecast as well, so who knows.

WTNH News 8 Meteorologist Gil Simmons writes on Facebook, “A quiet start followed by a stormy finish today. Tropical humidity for one more day today! Good morning!”
