Clouds are expected to give way to sun Thursday, with a high near 74 degrees.
What to Know About Driving in Dense Fog
The National Weather Service says widespread dense fog can reduce visibility to one-quarter mile or less and make travel difficult. Its dense fog advisories are issued when those conditions develop; drivers are advised to use extra caution or avoid driving when possible.
Warm Weather Builds Through Friday
Thursday night will stay mild and partly cloudy, with a low around 64 degrees and south winds between 5 and 8 mph. Friday brings the warmest day of the stretch, with mostly sunny skies early and a high near 81 degrees.
A chance of rain showers arrives after 3 p.m. Friday, with the odds increasing into the evening as a cold front moves through. Rainfall is expected to be limited, with less than a tenth of an inch possible, but the timing could complicate late-day outdoor plans.
Weekend Starts Sunny Before Temperatures Slide
Friday night could bring a few showers before 1 a.m., followed by cooler, breezier conditions. Saturday looks much more cooperative, with sunshine, a high near 70 degrees and a low around 47 degrees Saturday night.
Sunday will be mostly sunny with a high near 67 degrees, though showers may return after 8 p.m. Monday should reach about 69 degrees after a slight early-morning shower chance, but the bigger story arrives Monday night and Tuesday, when colder air pushes overnight temperatures into the 30s and Tuesday's high only reaches about 59 degrees.
Clear, Cooler Stretch Follows
Tuesday night is forecast to be clear with a low near 38 degrees, making for a chilly start to Wednesday. Wednesday should rebound modestly under sunny skies, with a high near 62 degrees.
No watches, warnings or advisories are currently posted for Hartford County. For Thursday, the practical forecast is simple: allow extra time for a foggy start, then enjoy a mild but mostly gray afternoon before the brief warm-up peaks Friday.
