Most of the rains end at midnight.

Total precipitation is expected to vary from half an inch to an inch, with possibly higher amounts locally.

A cold front crosses the region on Friday and the wind will pick up.

“Tomorrow [Friday], the sun is coming back and the wind is coming back, ”Dixon said.

Northwest winds will blow at times of 30 + mph tomorrow afternoon.

The first weekend in May starts off on a decent note, from a weather point of view.

“As a cold front slides through CT Friday night to early Saturday, a snow shower or two may be possible as well,” Dixon said.

Saturday will be windy and cool with highs in the lower 60s. Sunday will be less windy and milder.
