Rainfall, Food Drive, and Weather Outlook: What to Expect This Thanksgiving Week
In the past few days, Connecticut has welcomed much-needed rainfall, accumulating 1-2 inches, with some western regions even experiencing a light dusting of snow. Today, expect more rain in the early hours, but precipitation may vary by location, particularly in northern areas where mixing is possible. The weather is set to improve by noon, with lingering rain in eastern parts until later in the morning. This afternoon will see sunny intervals and strong winds, gusting up to 40 mph, which could result in isolated power outages and fallen tree limbs.
In community news, the GR8 Thanksgiving Food Drive taking place today from 11 AM to 1 PM at Connecticut Food Share in Wallingford invites residents to dress warmly and participate in this significant holiday effort.
As the weekend unfolds, Sunday promises to be the pick of the days, featuring mostly sunny skies albeit with a chilly feel due to gusty winds, while Monday will offer scattered clouds with lighter breezes. Tuesday will bring morning rain followed by clearing skies.
Looking ahead, travelers can expect good conditions on Wednesday, with partly sunny skies and temperatures in the low to mid 40s. However, Thanksgiving Day may bring a mix of rain and snow as a storm approaches, with temperatures ranging from 35-40 degrees. The weather pattern extends into Friday, where there’s potential for both rain and snow, remaining chilly with highs in the mid to low 40s. As the week progresses, Saturday will trend cooler with highs in the upper 30s to low 40s.
Stay tuned for updates as the holiday weather develops!
