SIGN UP It will be so chilly the Hartford area may break a daily record for the coldest daytime high temperature for May 22. If it doesn't surpass 49 degrees, we'll have a new record.
This could cause isolated flooding in low-lying, or susceptible spots, but widespread flooding appears unlikely.
Additionally, minor coastal flooding is possible along the shoreline, mainly between 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. Thursday.
During high tide, water levels may reach a foot to a foot-and-a-half higher than normal. This will result in water collecting in low, flood-prone spots on the shoreline.
Winds will gust between 15 and 30 miles per hour, making it feel even colder.
The weather system will clear on Friday, but clouds will linger into the first part of our holiday weekend.
Friday will be gray with isolated showers and high temperatures in the 50s.
It will be slightly brighter on Saturday with temperatures in the lower 60s.
Sunday and Monday will be brighter with high temperatures in the 60s and 70s.
