Forecast Discussion 1/5:

Satellite imagery shows partly sunny skies across the area this morning. Expect increasing clouds today with some snow shower activity breaking out midday through the afternoon and evening. It will be cold again, with high in the middle to lower 30s Thinking a dusting of snow is possible in most locations, with up to an inch across far Northern Litchfield, Northern Hartford, Tolland and Windham Counties. Impacts are expected to be minimal, but some slick travel is possible If steadier snow showers do occur in the aforementioned northern zones this evening

There is another chance for light freezing preip or freezing rain Tuesday evening through Tuesday night, so we will keep an eye on that. Longer range, the pattern warms considerably a Wednesday through Saturday, with highs in the 40s to low 50s and no significant threats of winter weather.

Forecast Discussion 1/2:

Satellite and radar this morning show a few flurries across the region, and some areas even reported a light dusting across all surfaces. Expect mostly cloudy skies today with some breaks of sun during the afternoon. It will be cold again, with highs in the middle to upper 20s. It will be a similar story for Saturday, as clouds will arrive in response to an approaching storm system. This system will track mainly south of the area, but could result in a period of light snow Saturday night into early Sunday morning (12AM to 5AM) that puts down a coating to an inch of snow.

There is another chance for light snow Monday night into Tuesday morning with a weak clipper system. We do see a milder trend next week, with highs in the upper 30s to 40s by the middle of the week. For now, the probability of a larger snowstorm in the foreseeable future seems low.

Light snow will accumulate to an inch or two for much of the state from 10PM to 6AM tonight into tomorrow morning.

Happy New Year’s Eve! Satellite imagery shows partly to most cloudy skies over the region this morning. The wind has finally died down across the area, but temperatures remain cold. Highs today will again be below average, with values in the upper 20s to low 30s. A weak clipper system will approach tonight to ring in the New Year with periods of light snow. This event looks like a coating to an inch for much of the area from about midnight to 5AM Thursday. A few areas could see closer to 2 inches, particularly in SE CT as the bands of snow may be steadier there as the low strengthens through the area. Overall, this will be a minor snow event - but just enough to coat the roads and potentially lead to slick travel for those traveling to and from New Year’s festivities. Timing of snow will be mainly between 10PM and 5AM.

The long-range forecast continues with the idea of temperatures near or below normal for our area. Models continue to hint at a snow threat Monday night into Tuesday, but this looks more like another weak clipper and less like a major storm at this time.

A HEAVY burst of snow brought totals 4 to 8 inches across portions of the area already. There is a noted dry slot to our west, but this is expected to fill in with more snow through the early morning hours.

Forecast Discussion 12/26:

Morning satellite shows partly to mostly cloudy skies across the region. Cold air settled across the region last night, with many stations reporting 10s or low 20s for morning lows. This will set the stage for our winter storm coming in this evening and tonight.

All attention continues to be on a winter storm that will track out of the Great Lakes and move just to the SW of the region by tonight. Given nature of the track, moderate to potentially heavy snowfall looks to be in order for much of the area, and guidance has indeed expanded further to the east with the heaviest snows. Kept steady with the timing as of this morning’s update – so thinking most of the snow falls between 5PM Friday and 7AM Saturday. Most of the storm will be front loaded, so expecting the majority of the accumulation before midnight with, then only light accumulation through early Saturday morning. Surface temperatures will be cold, so lighter and fluffier snow appears likely. This will also lead to some “fluff factor” with the snow totals. As far as totals, decided to expand the 5-to-9-inch range over the majority of the forecast area, as heavier snow bands are now modeled to make it into Hartford, Tolland and Middlesex County. These areas are only in a Winter Weather Advisory still, but expect warning level snows. 2 to 5 inches of snow is forecast throughout Rhode Island where Winter Weather Advisory continues.

Snow will taper off completely by middle Saturday morning, with partly sunny skies and highs near freezing for the rest of the day. Another system will head our way late Sunday, with more periods of freezing rain changing to plain rain by Monday. Please stay tuned as we head through the early weekend.

Forecast Discussion 12/23:

Snow is overspreading the area this morning, with an initial burst of accumulation as temperatures hover in the upper 20s to low 30s, and ground temps remain cold. Air temperatures will slowly rise during the morning, especially outside of the steadier snow bands, and snow will have more trouble sticking and accumulating, especially to road surfaces. Any precipitation ends by early afternoon as flurries inland and perhaps even some plain drizzle at shoreline and valley locations. Overall, 1-2 inches of snow is on track across the interior, with a Coating to an Inch across the immediate shoreline where accumulation will be more difficult.

The weather turns pleasant for Wednesday and Thursday, with partly to mostly sunny skies and seasonal temperatures in the upper 30s to lower 40s. Dry weather will continue for the day on Friday, but all attention will turn to a storm system approaching from the Midwest Friday Night.

Confidence has increased in a period of accumulating snow Friday night into Saturday morning as low pressure approaches and slides just to the south of the region. Given nature of the track, a general 2-4/3-5 inch storm looks to be in order. I am skeptical of higher totals you may see from other outlets due to some moisture limitations and fast-moving timeline. Thinking most of the snow falls between 8PM Friday and 7AM Saturday. Another system will head our way on Sunday, with more periods of rain or mix possible.

12/22/2025

Forecast Discussion 12/22:

Satellite this morning shows mostly clear skies across the region. It is a chilly start to the work week, with current temperatures in the upper teens to low 20s across much of the region. It will remain mostly sunny today, but clouds will be on the increase tonight as a warm front moves into the region. Light snow will break out between 5AM and 7AM, with an initial burst of accumulation as temperatures hover in the upper 20s to low 30s, and ground temps remain cold. Air temperatures will slowly rise during the morning, and snow will have more trouble sticking and accumulating, especially to road surfaces. Any precipitation ends by early afternoon as flurries inland and perhaps even some plain drizzle at shoreline and valley locations. Overall, 1-2 inches of snow is on track across the interior, with a Coating to an Inch across the immediate shoreline.

The weather turns pleasant for Wednesday and Thursday, with partly to mostly sunny skies and seasonal temperatures in the upper 30s to lower 40s. Friday remains uncertain, with a low-pressure system approaching from the Great Lakes that may result in periods of snow, ice, and rain. Latest trends have been colder with this system, so watching closely as the potential for accumulating snow is increasing. Please keep an eye out for future updates.

Severe Thunderstorm Warning for parts of NTYC and CT

12/19/2025

Forecast Discussion 12/19:

Radar shows rain and downpours moving into the region this morning. Rain will be heavy at times through the morning commute, with some urban and poor drainage flooding possible. Winds will continue to increase as well, with period of strong winds likely mid to late morning that are expected to lead to scattered power outages through the area. The peak of the rain and wind will be 8AM to 1PM for most. Wind gusts 45 to 55 mph are expected. A general 1 to 2 inches of rainfall is also expected.

A strong cold front then swings through later Friday afternoon with rapidly dropping temperatures and a surge of strong winds 40 to 50 mph region wide. Scattered rain and snow showers are also possible this evening. There will be a renewed risk of scattered power outages across the entire forecast area from about 5PM this evening until 12AM Saturday as NW winds surge. As far as black ice and refreeze, I would also watch for some black ice Friday night into Saturday morning. Temperatures are expected to drop below freezing between 10PM Friday and 1AM Saturday. The wind will likely aid in drying some surfaces, but any remaining moisture is expected to freeze solid.

At this point the weekend looks pleasant with seasonable temperatures, but we are eyeing late Monday night into Tuesday for our next shot at a clipper system and light snow accumulations, especially across the interior. A general coating to an inch looks like the mostly likely scenario right now
