Rain Sweeps Across Connecticut Shoreline

Rain fell along the Connecticut shoreline while other parts of the state experienced snowfall. On Tuesday, towns like Old Saybrook reported cold, wet conditions requiring umbrellas and winter coats.

Weather Conditions Across the Shoreline

The rain started around mid-morning, with temperatures hovering in the 30s. In New Haven, the precipitation remained steady throughout the day, making it less than ideal for outdoor activities.

Residents expressed their discomfort with the weather. Sha’ty Kennedy described the conditions as “very cold” and “very wet,” while Fanny Milambo shared her frustrations, stating, “My umbrella went inside out earlier. It’s just really bad weather.” Many faced difficulties walking in the rain, with reports of slipping due to the wet conditions.

Driving Tips During Rainy Conditions

Experts recommend that drivers ensure their vehicles are prepared for inclement weather. Checking tire pressure is crucial, especially during temperature drops. For every 10-degree decrease in temperature, a drop of 1 to 2 pounds per square inch in tire pressure may occur.

As the forecast continues to evolve, keeping an eye on updates from local meteorologists is advised. Residents are urged to stay informed about any severe weather changes.
