Heavy Rain, Possible Thunderstorms in Hamden's Workweek Forecast

By Brian McCready

Another normal week of winter weather, temps forecast into the mid to upper 50s, heavy rains, and a chance of thunderstorms, too.

Despite the calendar turning to Feb. 1, the forecast at least through Wednesday will almost be spring-like, a continuation of our warm winter thus far.

Once again, as of right now, no snow is in the forecast through this upcoming weekend though a significant rainstorm is forecast for all day Wednesday.

Here is what we can expect for the next 7 days via the National Weather Service:

• Monday: slight chance of showers, mostly cloudy skies and temps in the mid 50s.
• Tuesday: sunny skies and temps in the upper 40s, though early on it will feel between 25-35 degrees because of the wind-chill factor.
• Wednesday: Rain moves in before dawn and lasts until around 9 p.m. The entire state is looking at between 1-2 inches of rain and some isolated thunderstorms are even possible. Temps will be in the mid 50s.
• Thursday: more sun and temps in the mid 40s.
• Friday: a cooldown of sorts begins as temps will be in the upper 30s and sunny skies.
• Saturday: sunny skies and temps near 40 degrees.
• Super Bowl Sunday: sunny skies and temps in the low 40s.
