It is not going to be the prettiest end to March or start of the workweek. Dense fog will lift to cloudy skies with a few sunny breaks possible. The best chance of sunshine will be in western Connecticut. Temperatures will creep up into the 60s, for some in north-central CT, it may take all day to turn milder!
Scattered showers are possible later this afternoon, but the best chance of heavy rain and thunder is after 8pm. Downpours can continue through about 2:00 A.M. Increasing southerly winds will gust over 30 mph later today.
