Sunny and cold today in Connecticut; more rain, wind on the way

NOW: Storm Watch Team Meteorologist Jonathan Cubit says today is a quiet day before another rain event moves in for the weekend. Highs will be in the lower 40s, mix of sun and clouds. No more rain but runoff continues into the rivers and streams.  

Flood warnings on the Housatonic River and Still River impact north Fairfield County. Still River at Brookfield, has major flooding, Yantic along with the Housatonic river will continue to be monitored as they are reaching record levels.

WHAT’S NEXT: Eyes are to the sky Friday night into Saturday. At this point it looks like temps will be warm enough for rain but there will also be more wind. Rain amounts don’t look as bad as last event, anywhere from .5″-1″ for the area.  Wind gusts will also kick back in 30-40 mph. Much colder starting Sunday. Temperatures will stay in the 30s all through next week with overnight lows in the teens/20s. There is the potential for another storm passing south on Tuesday/Wednesday, but this one could be cold enough to bring snow back to the area.  

THURSDAY: Mostly Sunny.  High near 46.

FRIDAY: Partly Sunny, rain at night. High near 50.

SATURDAY: Early rain, partly sunny and breezy.  High 55.

SUNDAY: VERY COLD. High near 37.
