Wintry Weather May Start Earlier This Weekend

The Ledyard forecast called for freezing rain Saturday, Jan. 9, but it now may fall earlier than originally expected.

This weekend, we could see a touch of wintry weather but as of Wednesday, Meteorologist Ryan Hanrahan said it’s not a sure bet.

“Here’s a First Alert: We’re worried about a bit of freezing drizzle Friday evening and night,” Hanrahan said on his Facebook page. “Yesterday, we had this in the forecast for Saturday morning but we’ve pushed up the timing a bit. Not a sure thing but something to watch.”

  • On Friday night, there’s a slight chance of drizzle and temperatures will hover around 31 degrees.
  • A slight chance of rain greets us on Saturday and potentially on Saturday evening. Temperatures during the day are predicted to be in the mid-40s and won’t get much lower at night — around 41 degrees.
  • On Sunday, there’s a 70-percent chance of rain, with temperatures nearing 55-degrees during the day.
