Our NBC Connecticut meteorologists are tracking gusty winds that will move through the state overnight and into the day on Thursday.

Some wind gusts could top 45 miles per hour, causing difficult driving conditions.

The National Weather Service said some wind gusts could reach up to 60 mph.

There’s a wind advisory in effect throughout southern New England until 10 p.m. Thursday.

The strongest winds are expected midday Thursday around 11 a.m. and may cause some weaker tree limbs to fall, or even result in a few isolated power outages.

We aren’t expecting widespread power outages or tree damage with this system, and the wind will continue to usher in cool air.

After starting the week with near-record high temperatures, these gusty winds will usher in temps in the 30s.

The wind will stay steady on Friday, but weaker than Thursday. Still, combined with the air temperature, the feels-like conditions will fall into the single digits and 10s by Friday morning.

Phoniex was the first baby of the year born at Bridgeport Hospital.

She weighs 8 pounds, 3 ounces and is 22 inches long.

She joins siblings 5-year-old Nikolai and 4-year-old Blanca.

Andrjana and Nikola Milosavljevic welcomed their newborn son at Hartford Hospital on Wednesday morning.

Aleksej was born at 5 a.m., arriving two days early and weighing in at 6 pounds, 10 ounces.

“He is already awake like a big man,” his mom,  Andrjana, said.

The couple said it wasn’t quite the normal New Year’s Eve party they are used to, but that was OK.

“We are blessed, what we can say? We don’t have a new year in the way we want because we were a little bit busy, but absolutely blessed,” dad, Nikola, said.

Aleksej is one of four New Year’s day babies to be born at Hartford Hospital. His mom said it was special, like a New Year’s miracle.

Aleksej has a big brother at home waiting for him.

A gas station in East Hartford was robbed early on New Year’s Day and police are trying to identify the two armed robbers.

Police said two males with guns robbed the Citgo gas station at 1259 Burnside Ave. just after 3:30 a.m. Wednesday.

The clerks said one robber went behind the counter and demanded cash and the other stood by the door, possibly as a lookout.  

The robbers stole around $300 in cash and coins, then ran across Burnside Avenue, police said.

No one was hurt and the police said they have not taken any suspects into custody.

Police are investigating and waiting on more video surveillance.
