A severe thunderstorm watch has been issued for Litchfield, Hartford and Tolland counties until midnight.

Storms headed toward Connecticut could bring hail and wind gusts over 80 mph.

The biggest threat for storms will be from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. this evening.

A strong cold front moving in from the west will combine with tropical moisture moving in from the remnants of what was Hurricane Laura. A round of showers will start the day with showers redeveloping during the afternoon and early evening.

While we don't expect widespread severe weather, we could see localized damaging wind gusts and heavy rain.

The tornado threat today is low, but an isolated tornado cannot be ruled out.
