Trumbull's Freezing Weekend Forecast

Well we knew it was inevitable as we’ve reached that point in the calendar where temperatures are going to grow colder each week, and now it’s official.

Get ready for the coldest air of the season to arrive in time for this weekend.

The National Weather Service has issued a “Hazardous Weather Outlook” for all of southern Connecticut in anticipation of the first freeze of the season.

For the immediate Connecticut coastline the first freeze of the season is expected on Sunday night.

But for northern Fairfield, New Haven, Middlesex, and New London counties the first freeze could occur on Saturday night, the National Weather Service predicts.

Oddly, no advisory has been issued for Hartford and Tolland counties where temps there are forecast to also be below 32 degrees on both Saturday and Sunday night.

The weather service’s forecast also reintroduces the term wind chill into its forecast, which gives you an indication summer is now in the rearview mirror.

Here is the detailed weekend weather forecast:

Friday, mostly sunny, beautiful fall day with temps in the mid 60s statewide

Saturday, sunny, definitely cooler with temps in the mid 50s

Saturday night, 36 degrees on the Connecticut Shoreline, but at or below freezing (32 degrees) for interior sections of the state.

Sunday, sunny but the coldest day of the year thus far. Temps will hover around 50 on the immediate Shoreline, but once you move just a bit inland, temps will peak in the upper 40s.

Sunday night, everyone in Connecticut should be around 32 degrees or freezing. Interior sections of the state will remain in the upper 20s.

Have a great weekend.
