CONNECTICUT — It looks like the weather in Connecticut this week will feature unsettled weather with some rain showers and storms possible over the next seven days, though we’ll see periods of sun too and another heat wave is possible.
Late Sunday and early Monday, rain and storms are forecast due to a “coastal area of low pressure,” according to WFSB 3 TV meteorologists. “Some areas along SE CT could notice an elevated breeze up to 25mph. Mugginess becomes more noticeable overnight and is just the beginning of an unsettled and humid week ahead.”
“To start the week, we are watching an area of low pressure offshore and how it moves relative to CT. Currently, we’re forecasting partly to mostly cloudy skies on Monday with the possibility of a couple rounds of showers and maybe an embedded storm throughout the day,” WFSB 3 TV meteorologists said.

“This will all be dependent on the exact track of this area of low pressure, which model trends have brought a bit closer to CT. There could also be some wind associated with this system so something we will be monitoring as well. Regardless, the mugginess returns on Monday. Tuesday, under a partly to mostly cloudy sky, it will be humid, and we’ll run the risk for an isolated shower or storm. More or less, we will rinse and repeat, with daily rain/storm chances while humidity is up through mid-week,” WFSB 3 TV meteorologists said. “At this point, Wednesday looks to be the wettest day of the week with showers in the morning as well as in the evening hours. The chance for rain does dwindle a bit as we approach the end of next week with only the slightest chance for a few showers by then.” (Read/watch more at WFSB 3 TV).
There also appears to be a chance for more showers and thunderstorms on Saturday and Sunday too but temperatures will approach 90 degrees.
