Good evening. Connecticut. I'm Aaron Jolly.

Step outside and you'll feel that raw, damp chill instantly. We picked up about a quarter inch of rain overnight. And that light drizzle still falling? it's not going anywhere fast.

Tonight. That rain turns into a messy mix for Northern Fairfield and Hartford. Here comes a wintry mix developing after 7 P.M. The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for these areas until noon Friday. You'll want to watch for icy spots on untreated surfaces, especially late tonight and early tomorrow morning.

For everyone else, it's a rainy night. Rain continues statewide, heavy at times, peaking around 10 P.M. Temperatures hold steady in the low 30s inland and around 34 along the coast. It feels even colder than that, with wind chills in the 20s thanks to a northeast wind around 10 miles an hour.

Friday stays dreary. The mix tapers off by midday, leaving us with cloudy skies and a high near 40 degrees. That's about 32 degrees cooler than normal for this time of year. But hang tight. A big warm-up is coming.

Here's your heads-up for the week ahead. Saturday brings milder air, with highs near 48. Then, get ready for spring. Sunday jumps to 57 degrees. We're talking potential 60s by Monday and Tuesday. That's a solid 32 degrees above average. It might feel like April out there.

Just a heads up for anyone with sensitive lungs. Air quality is unhealthy for sensitive groups today. You might want to limit any heavy outdoor exertion.

See you tomorrow.
