Strong Winds, Rain Possible As Storm Jose Approaches Woodbury

WOODBURY, CT — Woodbury could see some strong winds and rain as Storm Jose approaches the state. The worst impact for Connecticut will be on the immediate coast, which is under a Tropical Storm Watch, according to the National Weather Service.

For areas inland in southern Connecticut, a Hazardous Weather Outlook has been issued for “strong gusty winds and heavy rain associated with tropical cyclone Jose.” Hartford and Tolland counties are without any advisory, but they are expected to see periods of heavy rain and some gusty winds too.

The weather is expected to deteriorate in Connecticut beginning Tuesday night and into early Wednesday, which is when the wind and rain will be at its worst. Southeast Connecticut will see the greatest impacts, as it’s closest to Jose.
