Severe nor\u2019easter to strike Connecticut on Thursday<\/strong><\/p>\n A powerful nor\u2019easter<\/strong> is poised to disrupt weather conditions across Connecticut<\/strong> this Thursday<\/strong>, just days ahead of Memorial Day weekend<\/strong>. Forecasters from WFSB 3 TV<\/strong> and the National Weather Service<\/strong> warn that the state will experience soaking rainfall<\/strong>, cold temperatures<\/strong>, and strong wind gusts<\/strong>, potentially setting new weather records in Hartford<\/strong> and Bridgeport<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Highs are expected to reach only the upper 40s (around 9\u00b0C)<\/strong> in some regions, far below the seasonal norm and comparable to overnight lows<\/strong> for this time of year. Meteorologists caution that 1 to 2 inches of rainfall<\/strong> may cause poor drainage flooding<\/strong>, and the biting chill could break a temperature record<\/strong> that dates back to 1909<\/strong> in Hartford<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Tuesday and Wednesday: Cooler air settles in<\/strong><\/p>\n The week begins on a cooler note. Tuesday<\/strong> sees partly to mostly cloudy skies<\/strong> with a high between 60\u00b0F and 65\u00b0F (15.5\u00b0C to 18.3\u00b0C)<\/strong> and calmer winds. By Wednesday<\/strong>, the sky turns overcast, and temperatures dip to the mid-50s (around 12.7\u00b0C)<\/strong>. While the day starts dry, showers are expected to develop later<\/strong>, especially by Wednesday night<\/strong>, when steady rain<\/strong> becomes more likely.<\/p>\n Wind speeds will increase, especially near the coast, with easterly gusts up to 14 mph<\/strong> inland and even stronger along the shoreline<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Thursday: The nor\u2019easter arrives in full force<\/strong><\/p>\n Thursday<\/strong> has been designated a First Alert Weather Day<\/strong>. A secondary low-pressure system<\/strong> forming to the south will rapidly intensify as it tracks up the Eastern Seaboard<\/strong>, transforming into a classic nor\u2019easter<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Connecticut will face:<\/p>\n If the high in Hartford<\/strong> stays at or below 49\u00b0F (9.4\u00b0C)<\/strong>, it would match a record low maximum temperature set 116 years ago<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Friday into the weekend: Showers ease, temperatures rise<\/strong><\/p>\n As the nor\u2019easter pulls away from the region on Friday<\/strong>, scattered showers<\/strong> may linger under mostly cloudy skies<\/strong>, with highs rebounding to around 60\u00b0F (15.5\u00b0C)<\/strong>. By Saturday<\/strong>, isolated showers remain possible, but the day won\u2019t be a complete washout<\/strong>. Expect highs in the mid-60s (around 18\u00b0C)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Sunday<\/strong> brings a noticeable improvement<\/strong>, with sunshine returning<\/strong> and highs approaching 70\u00b0F (21\u00b0C)<\/strong>. Memorial Day Monday<\/strong> looks especially pleasant, with dry, bright conditions<\/strong> and temperatures reaching the mid-70s (around 24\u00b0C) inland<\/strong>, and the low 70s (21\u00b0C to 22\u00b0C)<\/strong> along the coast.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Regional forecast breakdown<\/strong><\/p>\n Southern Connecticut<\/strong><\/p>\n Northern Connecticut<\/strong><\/p>\n Weather watchers<\/strong> and holiday planners<\/strong> in Connecticut<\/strong> should brace for a dramatic shift<\/strong> in conditions midweek, followed by a slow but steady improvement<\/strong> just in time for the long weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Severe nor\u2019easter to strike Connecticut on Thursday A powerful nor\u2019easter is poised to disrupt weather conditions across Connecticut this Thursday, just days ahead of Memorial Day weekend.
