Southern CT Weather: Rain Arrives Sunday, Freeze Conditions Possible Monday Night

The pleasant weather on Saturday and Sunday morning will erode as rain is forecast to move into Connecticut during the afternoon hours and then stick around through most of Monday.

"Showers develop this afternoon and into the evening and will become scattered about, with even a chance for a few claps of thunder. Highs in the 50s, with a few spots getting close to 60 degrees. It’s the last warm day for a while! Breezy with gusts up to 25 mph from varying directions," said WFSB 3 TV meteorologists.

"Low-pressure and a cold front arrive (Monday) and brings rain with it tomorrow morning, so we are first alerting you to have the umbrella ready. The rain coverage decreases especially by the afternoon hours, though a late day shower could clip NW CT and could contain a few wet snowflakes. Breezy and highs in the lower 50s," added WFSB 3 TV meteorologists.

Coldest weather of the season arrives

The National Weather Service has issued a hazardous weather outlook for coastal sections of southern Connecticut. "Freeze conditions may be possible late Monday night into early Tuesday morning," the weather service said.

WFSB 3 TV meteorologists said the "coldest air of the season coupled with strong wind gusts moving in on Veterans Day, which will create a feel in the upper 10s and lower 20s on Tuesday morning and a feel in the 20s and lower 30s in the afternoon." (Read more at WFSB 3 TV).

Temperatures will moderate back up to around 50 degrees on Wednesday and Thursday before we're back in the 40s on Friday.
