Flood Watch Through Saturday Evening

We could see in excess of 3 inches of rain over the next few days as a stalled cold front just off to our west helps to pump moist, tropical air from the Gulf of Mexico.

The National Weather Service has issued a flood watch for all of Connecticut beginning this afternoon and lasting through Saturday evening.

At the moment, it looks like the heaviest precipitation will predominantly come in two waves. The first wave will come through this evening and last into the overnight hours. The second looks to arrive by noon Saturday and last into Saturday evening. The rest of the time looks to be spottier, hit-or-miss showers.

Today: Clouds with showers possible during the day. Highs in the low-70s. Rain will pick up in intensity during the evening hours. Rain may be heavy at times overnight. Lows in the mid- to upper-60s.
