Hartford is starting Thursday under clear skies and cool temperatures, with sunshine carrying the city to a high near 62 degrees. North winds may feel brisk early, but they should ease through the afternoon as the day stays dry.
Friday Brings Rain And A Mild, Blustery Setup
The National Weather Service expects rain showers and patchy fog to move in Friday, with a 70% chance of precipitation and a high near 70. South winds of 10 to 13 mph could gust up to 29 mph, making for a damp and breezy commute.
Showers may become more scattered during the afternoon before another round develops Friday evening and night. Regional Friday rainfall totals are expected to be between 0.30 and 0.60 inches, while overnight temperatures fall to around 44 degrees.
Saturday Turns Much Colder
A cold front will sweep through Saturday, bringing partly sunny skies, a high near 51 and northwest winds around 16 mph. Gusts could reach 33 mph, and a slight chance of an early rain shower remains in the forecast.
Saturday night will be mostly clear, but the temperature is expected to drop to around 33 degrees in Hartford. That near-freezing chill will be a sharp change from Friday's mild air, so outdoor plans and sensitive plants may need some attention.
Sunshine Returns For The Start Of Next Week
Sunday looks sunny and calmer, with a high near 56 and a low around 36. Monday and Tuesday should remain mostly dry, with highs near 61 and 64 under sunny to mostly sunny skies.
