Tropical Storm Andrea: Weekend Weather Forecast For Middlesex County

Tropical Storm Andrea brought wind and rain across Florida Thursday, making official landfall at 5:40 p.m. Thursday evening and she's headed toward Connecticut.

The National Weather Service has issued a flash flood watch for most of Connecticut, including Middletown, through Saturday afternoon. Temps Friday should hover around the low 60s and tonight in the low 50s.

Tropical Storm Andrea is quickly transitioning into a post-tropical / extratropical cyclone, the NWS says, with maximum sustained winds at 45 mph. She's moving through the Carolinas and is expected to produce 2-4 inches of rain, with locally higher amounts, as it moves up the Eastern Seaboard through Saturday. 

In Middletown, Saturday's humidity will rise to 66 percent with a 40-percent chance of rain and highs in the mid-70s, according to NBC Connecticut.

But there's hope for a beach day in the near future — Sunday will be sunny and 80 degrees all day, NBC is forecasting.

According to The Weather Channel, Tropical Storm Andrea “will likely transition to a non-tropical remnant low at some point on Friday, however its impacts will continue as it rides up the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast coast later Friday into early Saturday."
