Connecticut Weather: Some Rain, Wind This Weekend

It's not a great weekend weather forecast for Connecticut as we're expecting some rain on both Saturday and Sunday, but the good news is the temps will be warmer than we've been accustomed to. The National Weather Service has issued a Hazardous Weather Outlook for all of Fairfield, New Haven, Middlesex, and New London counties. No advisories have been issued for Hartford and Tolland counties.

In the Hazardous Weather Outlook for southern Connecticut, the weather service states that "A strong cold front may bring strong southerly winds as it approaches late Saturday night, and strong west to northwest winds after it passes through early Sunday. Sustained winds may reach as high has 40 mph, with gusts as high as 58 mph. The strongest winds are more likely to occur closer to the coast Saturday night."

WTNH News 8 Meteorologist Gil Simmons wrote, "Hairspray Alert today with windy 40s. Dry through tonight and tomorrow morning. Some spotty rain tomorrow afternoon."

For those curious about the Thanksgiving Day weather forecast, right now it appears dry with sunny skies and temps in the low 40s.
