Hartford starts Tuesday with clear skies and temperatures around 48 degrees, but November is briefly going to feel more like early fall. The city should warm into the low 70s this afternoon, with dry weather holding through Wednesday before rain takes over the late-week forecast.
Tuesday will be partly sunny with a high near 71 and generally southwest winds between 5 and 15 knots in the afternoon. The National Weather Service forecast puts the chance of rain near zero today; no watches, warnings or advisories are listed for Hartford.
Warmest Weather Arrives Wednesday
Wednesday looks like the mildest day of the stretch, with mostly sunny skies and a high near 73. A south breeze will run between 3 and 9 mph, while overnight temperatures remain unusually gentle for early November.
For outdoor plans, Tuesday and Wednesday are the clear winners: comfortable afternoons, light winds and no meaningful rain threat. The warmth could make jackets feel optional by midday, even if the calendar insists otherwise.
Rain Chances Build Thursday Night
Thursday stays mild but turns increasingly gray, with mostly cloudy skies and a high near 72; rain is expected Thursday evening at the earliest in western Massachusetts and Connecticut. Strong gusts are possible over marine areas.
Rain becomes more likely Thursday night, when the chance rises to 60% and a thunderstorm cannot be ruled out. Friday currently looks like the wettest day, with rain and a chance of thunderstorms, an 80% precipitation chance and a high near 70.
Weekend Forecast Turns Cooler
Saturday brings a chance of rain, while Hoodline's earlier forecast called for a high near 71; showers may linger into Sunday in parts of the region, with that forecast putting Sunday's high near 59. The wetter late-week setup is a sharper update from Hoodline's Monday forecast, making the next two dry days the best window for walks, errands and outdoor plans.
