Hartford is waking up to low clouds and temperatures in the mid-to-upper 50s Tuesday, with no fog developing. The clouds will stick around through the afternoon, but temperatures should still reach near 65 degrees.
A Cloudy, Mild Day
Low clouds and possible drizzle may affect the morning commute. By afternoon, winds will turn south or southeast and increase to 8 to 12 knots (about 9 to 14 mph), with scattered showers possible early and again in the evening, according to the National Weather Service.
Low clouds are expected to last into Tuesday night, with a mild low near 61 and south winds around 8 mph. Wednesday brings the week’s warmest weather, with mostly sunny skies and a high near 78 — a brief return to summer before fall reasserts itself.
Rain Arrives Friday Before A Windy Cooldown
Thursday looks sunny and seasonably cooler, topping out near 64 degrees. Friday is the next major weather turn, with rain showers likely, patchy fog and a chance of thunderstorms later in the day; southerly winds could gust as high as 26 mph.
The weekend will feel dramatically colder. Showers and thunderstorms may continue Friday night, followed by a mostly sunny but windy Saturday near 50 degrees with northwest gusts up to 37 mph, while Saturday night could fall to around 32.
The forecast is a notable update from the earlier Hoodline outlook, shifting the focus from early-week rain to a warmer Wednesday and a more consequential Friday-to-Saturday system. Sunday and Monday currently look much calmer, with sunshine, highs in the mid-50s to low 60s and chilly overnight temperatures.
