New Storm Emerges For CT, First Snowflakes Possible Too

Meteorologists are tracking the potential for a rain storm later this week, followed by a blast of much colder air and even some flurries.

For today, the National Weather Service predicts “scattered showers and overcast skies” courtesy of a cold front moving through the state. Highs will reach into the mid-60s today.

According to WTNH, a shower or thunderstorm also will be possible later today and tonight.

For Wednesday, the National Weather Service is forecasting a mostly sunny day, with highs in the mid-70s.

“High temperatures over the next week will vary from late summer-like on Wednesday to more typical of mid-November on Saturday,” the National Weather Service said.

Thursday will also be sunny, but cooler with highs in the mid-60s, according to the National Weather Service.

Next storm to bring rain

“Our next chance for more widespread rainfall is expected Friday,” the National Weather Service said.

It predicts a rainy day on Friday, with the chance of precipitation around 90 percent, and winds of up to 28 miles per hour.

WFSB is forecasting a “notable system” for Friday which it says will be bringing rain to the state.

WTNH also predicts rain on Friday, followed by a “blast of windy and colder weather on Saturday. The first flurries of the season are even possible in the Northwest Hills as a colder northwest flow moves in! A hard freeze is expected Sunday morning before temperatures begin to rebound during the afternoon.”

Expect sunny skies, but much cooler temperatures for Saturday, when high daytime temperatures will be around 50, followed by a low around 31 for Saturday night, according to the National Weather Service.

For Saturday, WTNH predicts “a mix of sun and clouds, with a sprinkle or flurry possible. Windy and feeling chilly with highs only in the 40s to around 50°. Wind gusts could occasionally exceed 40 mph, making it feel like the 30s all day!”

WFSB says a “shot of chillier air arrives for the weekend that will be accompanied by some wind.”

It predicts Saturday will be “blustery” with temperatures only reaching into the upper 40s to low 50s, the coldest in Connecticut since April, with wind gusts reaching between 30 and 40 miles per hour.
