Hartford gets a brief clear start Sunday before rain takes over the forecast. Temperatures near 48 degrees early will rise only to around 60, with showers arriving late in the morning and becoming more widespread through the afternoon.
According to the National Weather Service, rain chances climb sharply later Sunday, reaching 90% overall. The newest outlook is a meaningful timing update from Saturday’s Hoodline forecast, which had placed the main soaking later in the day.
Rain Arrives Sunday Afternoon
Showers are expected between late morning and 5 p.m., with the best chance of steady rain during the mid-to-late afternoon. Daytime rainfall could total between a tenth and a quarter-inch, while east winds remain light at 1 to 6 mph.
Rain showers and patchy fog continue Sunday night, with a low near 51 degrees and a 100% chance of precipitation. Another half-inch to three-quarters of an inch could fall overnight, putting the broader Hartford area on track for roughly three-quarters of an inch to 1 inch of rain from the system.
Monday Brings A Quick Weather Reset
Monday begins with patchy fog before 10 a.m., then turns mostly sunny and warmer, with a high near 71 degrees. Tuesday stays partly sunny near 67, but showers and a few thunderstorms could develop Tuesday night.
Wednesday looks like the warmest day of the week, reaching about 72 degrees after a slight chance of an early shower. Sunny skies return Thursday, though the high will be closer to 63 degrees.
Gusty Showers Return Later In The Week
Friday brings another chance of rain showers with a high near 63 and gusts up to 25 mph. Saturday looks cooler and unsettled, with a high near 58, another chance of showers and northwest gusts reaching 32 mph.
For Sunday plans, the practical forecast is simple: enjoy the clearer morning if possible, then keep rain gear handy for the afternoon and evening. Wet roads, reduced visibility and overnight fog could make travel slower than usual.
