Another day, another day of Hazardous Weather Outlooks and other advisories from the National Weather Service.

The latest includes the issuance of a “Wind Advisory” and “Hazardous Weather Outlook” for southern Fairfield, southern New Haven, southern Middlesex, and southern New London counties, or also known as the immediate Connecticut coastline from 6 p.m. to 4 a.m. Thursday.

A “Hazardous Weather Outlook” has also been issued for interior sections of Fairfield, New Haven, Middlesex, and New London counties for strong winds and rain.

Here are the latest details via the National Weather Service:

Coastal Connecticut:

Winds will be 25 to 35 mph with gusts up to 45 to 50 mph, which could lead to power outages and some down tree limbs.

As for rain, it’s mainly very light until 11 a.m. and then it could pick up and fog will also pose an issue. Temps will approach 50 degrees. Thunderstorms are likely tonight, too, and even some hail is possible. We can expect an inch of rain before it ends very early on Thursday.
