Forecast Discussion 11/17:

Happy Monday! It is a very chilly start to Monday morning, with wind chills still in the 20s across much of the area. There are even a few flurries on radar across Western zones. It will be cold and breezy throughout the remainder of the day, with highs struggling to get to 40 degrees across the interior. Winds will be less than yesterday, but still expecting gusts 25 to 30 mph.

A storm system is expected to slide to our south on Wednesday. It will remain partly to mostly sunny here in CT with seasonably cool temperatures in the 40s. A frontal system approaches on Friday, with temperatures moderating to the 50s to go along with rain showers in the afternoon. Skies clear by Saturday morning with seasonably cool and pleasant weather expected for the weekend.

Forecast Discussion 11/14:

Satellite imagery reveals clear skies over the region this morning. It is a chilly start to the day with most stations reporting morning lows 30 to 35 degrees. Mostly sunny skies this morning will give way to clouds gradually increasing this afternoon. There could be a stray shower or flurry in the hills but not expecting much activity. Today’s highs get to 45-50 degrees. With our cold airmass in place, lows dip down below freezing (25-30 degrees) tonight into Saturday morning.

Saturday will start mostly sunny, but clouds will again be on the increase during the afternoon. A low-pressure system will approach late Saturday, bringing a chance of showers Saturday evening into early Sunday morning. This does not look like a significant event, with only 0.25 to 0.50 inches of rain area wide. Most models move the bulk of the system out of the area by 6AM Sunday. Temperatures could briefly jump into the 50s Sunday morning, but cold air will funnel in behind the system with NW wind gusts 25 to 30 mph.

The long-range forecast is seasonably cool and quiet as we head into next week. Expect highs mainly in the 40s with partly to mostly sunny skies. The next storm system to watch will be Friday next week. This again looks like a lower impact rain event as of now.

Forecast Discussion 11/13:

A cold front will sweep through this morning, flipping winds to the northwest and keeping things brisk with gusts up to 25 to 30 mph. Temperatures will stay on the chilly side, topping out in the middle to upper 40s. Expect a mix of sun and clouds for much of the day, but there is also the chance for a few brief showers as lingering energy spins overhead.

By Friday, high pressure finally starts to build in a bit stronger. It’ll still feel breezy, but nothing like earlier in the week. Highs will hover in the mid-40s to low 50s under plenty of sunshine.

No major changes to the medium-to-long range forecast. Expect seasonable temperatures with highs 45 to 50 degrees through Saturday. As far as sky cover, expect partly to mostly sunny skies during this interval. Low temperatures will hover in the upper 20s to middle 30s. A low pressure system will approach late Saturday bringing a chance of showers Saturday night into Sunday morning, but this does not look like a significant event. Most models move the bulk of the system out of the area by mid Sunday morning.

Forecast Discussion 11/12:

Satellite and radar this morning show clouds and a few flurries around. It will not be as chilly as it was yesterday, but have the sweatshirt and jacket handy for your Wednesday, as highs will be in the middle to upper 40s under mostly cloudy skies.

Clouds will begin to clear this evening and overnight. This will create better conditions for viewing another potential Northern Lights event tonight, as a G4 Geomagnetic Storm Watch remains in effect. We received several reports of Northern Lights all the way down to the shoreline last night – likely the best event in our area since October 2024.

Clear skies but cold temperatures greet us for Veteran’s Day. It’s about 20-25 degrees colder than it was this time yesterday. Winds ramp up today with WNW gusts 30 to 40 mph midday through the afternoon. Winds chills camp out in the 20s during the day - notable cold for the first half of November. Flurries and snow showers are around as well, primarily between 11AM and 4PM. Little to no accumulation and no road impacts expected.

Temperatures will drop into the lower to middle 30s again tonight, although a blustery west wind will keep temperatures from dropping any further. We rebound for Wednesday with highs back in the middlle to upper 40s under partly to mostly sunny skies.

Medium-to-long range forecast is generally quiet and seasonably chilly, with high temperatures hovering near 50 degrees through the weekend. Given we are in November, many days will feature a mix of sun and clouds, especially with cold air aloft and a westerly flow.

Thank you Veterans for your service!

Forecast Discussion 11/10:

Radar shows a batch of showers working through Central and Eastern CT this morning with some partial clearing in Western Zones. The tricky part about today’s forecast is the formation of a weak area of low pressure to our south that will move over the region by this afternoon. Originally it looked like shower activity would wrap up by midday, but this feature will cause scattered activity to continue through much of the afternoon and evening. An additional 0.10 to 0.25 inches of rainfall is expected on top of what has already fallen.

Temperatures will drop drastically from west to east this evening as colder air works in. The main story tonight into tomorrow will be unseasonably cold weather, with Tuesday morning lows in the middle to upper 20s all the way down to the shoreline. A FREEZE WARNING is in effect for the CT shoreline. Cold and blustery weather will continue for Tuesday with snow showers possible during the day. Highs will struggle to get out of the 30s at most climate sites.

Medium-to-long range forecast is generally quiet and seasonably chilly, with high temperatures hovering near 50 degrees through the weekend. Given we are in November, many days will feature a mix of sun and clouds, especially with cold air aloft and a westerly flow.

Forecast Updates 11/7:

Morning satellite imagery shows high clouds off to our west as a frontal system approaches, but much of the area remains clear this AM. Expect mostly sunny skies to start, but clouds will be on the increase as the day progresses. Low pressure will move well to our north tonight, dragging a cold front across the area. This will bring a period of showers tonight into very early Saturday morning. This is not expected to be a major event, with most models showing only 0.10 to 0.25 inches of rain. Skies will clear for the day on Saturday, and it will certainly be the pick of the weekend, with mostly sunny skies and highs in the lower to middle 60s.

Yet another frontal system will impact the region on Sunday, bringing clouds and periods of rain during the afternoon. The timing remains a bit uncertain, with some models holding off rain in Eastern areas until the evening, making for a mainly dry day on Sunday across the Eastern half of CT and RI. This will need to be ironed out more in the next 24 hours. Temperatures will drop dramatically behind this front for Monday and Tuesday, with highs only in the 40s for much of the area. There is even an outside chance of first flakes on Monday night or Tuesday, although I want to be clear that the chance is low and no accumulation is expected.

If you were outside last night across Connecticut, you may have noticed the sky glowing with an incredible orange hue long after the sun had dipped below the horizon. It wasn’t just a typical sunset—it was the result of a perfect combination of atmospheric conditions. To the west, a storm system...

Winds underperformed forecast expectation last night. Most of the area did see gusts 35 to 50 mph, but many stations stayed below Advisory threshold.
