Strong Storms Possible Tonight for North Haven

A cold front moving through the northeast could result in some strong — and possibly severe — storms for North Haven and much of New England this evening.

Fasten your seat belts, North Haven: it could be a rather bumpy night.

The National Weather Service has issued a special weather statement warning of the change of strong to severe storms this evening into the overnight hours for much of Connecticut, including the Long Island shoreline.

According to the weather service, an approaching cold front that's currently bringing severe weather to much of upstate New York and northern Pennsylvania could "help trigger showers and thunderstorms in the very warm, humid and unstable air mass in place" throughout the region.

In an additional special weather statement, the service states the entire shoreline area is under "slight risk for severe storms" tonight, with "heavy downpours" and a "chance for strong damaging winds and hail" also possible.
