Hartford woke Monday to fog and temperatures near 34 degrees, but the gray start should lift before 10 a.m. Sunshine then takes over, sending the city toward 63 degrees with light north winds and no rain in the forecast.

Fog Gives Way To A Sunny Monday

Early commuters may encounter patchy fog, especially before 10 a.m., but visibility should improve quickly as temperatures climb through the 40s and 50s. The National Weather Service calls for a mostly sunny afternoon, with a high near 63 and north winds of 1 to 5 mph.

Monday night turns partly cloudy and noticeably cooler, with temperatures dropping to about 42 degrees. Tuesday stays dry and a little warmer near 65, though north winds will be stronger at 9 to 14 mph—enough to make the afternoon feel sharper than the thermometer suggests.

Cooler Nights Set Up A Sunny Week

Wednesday and Thursday remain sunny, with highs near 60 and 65, followed by another sunny but cooler Friday around 59. Overnight lows fall into the upper 30s and low 40s, including a chilly 35 degrees Friday night.

The weekend looks like the easiest stretch for outdoor plans: sunny skies and a high near 60 Saturday, then about 64 Sunday. The updated outlook is a notable shift from Sunday's Hoodline forecast, which had called for a colder, frostier start to Monday; the newest forecast now emphasizes fog, a warmer afternoon, and a broad dry stretch.
