A rainy first half of this week

1 week ago | wtnh.com | Gil Simmons

A stagnant weather pattern will deliver lots of rain to our state. Heavy rain in some stationary bands could lead to some flash flooding through early Wednesday. Remember, turn around & don’t drown…don’t drive through any flooded roadways. A total of 2″ to 6″ of rain is possible through early Wednesday morning! Rivers will come up to much higher levels with the expected rain amounts and run off. Early this morning: Occasional rain with patchy fog. Lows in the mid 50s.
Warming up with changeable weather ahead at times

Take advantage of a full dry weather day today! Some passing showers & brief storm will cross Connecticut very late tonight and early Friday morning as a warm front comes through. Drying out for much of the day with a scattered late day shower or storm also possible. Some slightly better news for the weekend as the heavy rain band looks to stay west & north of Connecticut and just a spotty shower threat here until the system drifts through with rain developing Sunday night through early next week.
Nice today with weekend weather changes

Nice weather returning today except for the AM wind, pollen and very high fire danger. Clouds mixing in tomorrow with a much cooler shoreline temperature forecast. Some spotty AM showers Friday to a mostly dry day. A very complicated pattern now for Saturday PM and through early next week as a rude cut off low pressure center stalls and then moves back in from the Atlantic. This is a dramatic change and would bring unsettled weather for Sunday & into Monday.
Warm & windy today with a shower tonight
