Yeah, Lisa, we're seeing some really nice conditions today.
So if you have any parades, the kids are off.
You know, it's a perfect opportunity to go out there
and enjoy the conditions tomorrow.
That's a different story.
That's why we are on storm watch.
Here's what you need to know.
We're tracking widespread rain, some gusty winds Thursday into Friday.
And we're even seeing the opportunity
for some wet snowflakes to be mixing in, ponding,
pooling on the roads.
Really going to be a mess to be out
and about tomorrow and even into parts of our Friday.
Right now, you're waking up
to some quiet conditions, a mostly sunny sky.
Temperatures are chilly here in Bridgeport, starting off in the 40s
and climbing into the low to mid 50s during the midday.
And we'll be topping out in the 60s this afternoon.
So overall, a gorgeous Wednesday.
Highs will be near 60 degrees in Norwalk,
59 in Weston, right around 59 in Reading.
Clouds will thicken as we get through tonight.
That's getting us ready for some wet weather.
So temperatures will be falling into the mid to upper 40s.
So tomorrow morning as early as, let's say,
6, 7 a.m., we'll start off the day with just a few spotty showers.
We're not seeing the worst of the storms yet.
But by tomorrow afternoon, that's where the rain starts
to pick up in intensity, a rumble of thunder.
We can't rule that out either with this storm system.
Those winds are gusting out of the east, northeast, 25,
30 miles per hour, really going to reduce visibility as well.
And the storm will start to lighten up a bit as we get into our Friday.
But that's when the cold air starts to move in and even give us this.
You wet snowflakes mainly over parts
of Litchfield County, so something to keep in mind.
I'll give you a closer look at the timing
and how long this storm will last and the weekend forecast coming up.
