SIGN UP Additionally, minor coastal flooding is possible along the Connecticut shoreline, mainly between 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. Thursday. During high tide, water levels may reach 1 to 1.5 feet higher than normal. This will result in water collecting in low, flood-prone spots on the shoreline.
Winds will gust between 30 and 40 miles per hour, making it feel even colder. 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.
The weather system will clear Friday, but clouds will linger into the first part of our holiday weekend.
Memorial Day will have a little more sunshine with highs in the lower 70s.
