CONNECTICUT WEATHER’S LATEST FORECAST DISCUSSION
August 10th, 2026 6:16 AM
Monday will be warm and humid once again, with a chance for showers and thunderstorms developing during the afternoon and evening. Most of the day should remain dry, but a few storms could produce locally heavy rain and gusty winds, so keep an eye to the sky if you have afternoon plans. Most of the morning’s high-resolution guidance, including the HRRR and NAM, keeps the greatest concentration of stronger to potentially severe storms just to our southwest, which is somewhat encouraging for Connecticut. That said, there is still enough instability and moisture around for a few stronger storms to develop locally, so we’ll want to keep an eye on trends throughout the day. Skies should gradually clear on Monday night.
A much quieter stretch follows Tuesday through Saturday. Tuesday and Wednesday will feature mostly sunny skies with highs in the lower to mid-80s and comfortable conditions. A few showers become possible Wednesday night into Thursday, but widespread or significant rainfall is not expected at this point. Temperatures then tend to become cooler, with sunny and comfortable weather on Friday and Saturday with highs mainly in the upper 70s.
