Connecticut's news station,

on the Weather Watch as
we are tracking the threat of ss
returning to Connecticut tomorr.
Here's a look at the future radar from
the Weather Watch Center tonigh.
Good evening. I'm Brent Hardin
and I'm Jen Bernstein.
Thank you so much for joining u.
We got the chance to dry out
from all the flooding across
our state for more than a week,
but it does look like our wet Jy
is going to continue tomorrow.
Yeah. We are, though,
looking forward to a nice weekend as well.
Let's check in now with Chief
Meteorologist Rachel Frank for
a first look at the forecast.
So rich, how much rain
are we talking about here?
Some areas could pick up an inch
to an inch and a half of rain,
but most of us will get far less than
that as showers and storms tomow
will be kind of hit or miss in nature.
It was nice to have two dry days, but yes,
that dry streak is coming to an.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms could
pop up at anytime during the day tomorrow,
but the period of concern for a scattered,
strong, maybe severe storm woule
during the afternoon and evenin,
especially between around 2:00 and 8:00 PM.
The Storm Prediction Center has placed
central and western Connecticuta
level one risk for severe weath.
It's A5 level threat scale and the main
hazard is going to be for locally heavy rain.
Obviously rivers and streams
are already high,
but there is also a chance for damaging
wind and the Storm Prediction Center.
Has mentioned that it's a low
risk for a tornado,
but that risk is not zero.
So it's one of those things where we just
have to watch the radar really closely.
Here is one line of showers and
storms That means business.
By the time it gets to us early tomorrow,
we could see a few lingering showers from
that or an isolated rumble of Thunder.
But the main period of time agan
will be for the afternoon.
We'll have to watch for storms t
kind of pop up through the day d
those will be the ones that will
be keeping the closest eye on.
We'll show you the few.
Future Radar and the big payoff
for the weekend coming up.
Thank you, Rachel.

that we're able to to contribute
to. Officials say Yarovsky doest
have any known family in the ar,
