Changeable Weather Ahead: Drought-Free Connecticut Faces Storm Potential
Connecticut, [Date] – As we head into the weekend, residents can expect a mix of weather conditions. Today, early fog and low clouds will linger, particularly along the shoreline, but sunshine may break through later in the day. Afternoon thunderstorms are possible, with a greater chance for severe storms on Saturday. Overall, highs will reach 75-80 degrees inland and 68-75 degrees at the coast.
In a positive turn, Connecticut has officially emerged from the drought, according to the US Drought Monitor. The state has seen over three inches of rain above average for the first half of May, contributing to recent comfortable temperatures that are about four degrees above normal.
Today also marks the seventh anniversary of the devastating tornadoes and macroburst that struck Connecticut on May 15, 2018, causing significant damage and claiming two lives—an event many residents remember vividly.
Looking ahead, Sunday will bring a cool-down with a mix of clouds and sunshine, followed by a mostly cloudy week ahead, with temperatures forecasted to be in the 60s. Stay updated with the latest weather through the NEWS8 app!
