NWS: ‘Strong to severe’ T-storms possible later today

Strong to severe thunderstorms are possible this afternoon, the National Weather Service says.

“A cold front will bring isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms Tuesday afternoon into the evening. Some storms could be strong to severe, and while large hail cannot be ruled out, damaging wind gusts will be the more likely threat,” the NWS says.

In its forecast discussion, the NWS says some forecast models show that southwest Connecticut has the greatest chance for thunderstorm activity.

On Monday, a line of strong thunderstorms brought rain, hail and wind across parts of Connecticut. Severe thunderstorm warnings were posted for Middlesex, Tolland and Hartford counties.

While most parts of the Connecticut had little or no rain Monday, East Hampton had a deluge of 2.82 inches, according to the Community Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow Network.

Any rain Tuesday would be welcome because parts of Connecticut have drought or abnormally dry conditions.

According to the Northeast Regional Climate Center, Bridgeport is 1.58 inches below average rainfall for the month. Other areas of the state with below normal rainfall include Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks with -2.21 inches; New Haven, -1.79 inches; Danbury, -1.52 inches; Norfolk, -0.82 of an inch; and Greenwich, -.0.58 of an inch.

Connecticut may get some measurable rain if the remnants of Tropical Storm Laura interact with a low pressure system that could develop later this week.

“Any remnants of Tropical Storm Laura look to pass by south of the area,” the NWS says. “However, the uncertainty in the eventual track and any interactions between the remnants of Laura and the developing surface low pressure allow for a decent amount of spread among potential outcomes in terms of the extent of any precipitation.”

Sunday looks like the pick of the weekend with sunny skies and and a high in the upper 70s. Saturday will be mostly cloudy with a 50 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms.

Today: A 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly after 2 p.m. Some of the storms could produce small hail, gusty winds, and heavy rain. Mostly sunny, with a high near 91. Light and variable wind becoming west 8 to 13 mph in the morning. Winds could gust as high as 23 mph.
