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

12/17/2025

Forecast Discussion 12/17:

Morning satellite shows mostly cloudy skies across the region. Today will be dry and noticeably milder, with highs in the lower 40s and a mix of sun and clouds. A weak cold front will pass early Wednesday night without precipitation. Overnight lows will still be cold (mid 20s) but not as frigid as previous nights. Skies remain partly sunny through the day on Thursday as our next storm system approaches.

The main weather event arrives late Thursday night into Friday morning in the form of a “Grinch Storm”. Expect periods of moderate heavy rain and strong winds, with gusts of 40 to 50 mph possible, especially along the coast. Around 1.0 to 1.5 inches of rain is currently forecast for this period. Thursday will be mild ahead of the system, but temperatures will drop sharply Friday after the cold front passes. Rain will taper off Friday afternoon, and some snow may mix in across interior areas before ending. Winds will remain strong through Friday morning before gradually diminishing Friday night as high pressure builds in. Friday night will be much colder, and dry conditions will return for the start of the weekend.

12/15/2025

Forecast Discussion 12/15:

Very cold air has moved into the region, with wind chills this morning near or below zero! After a few inches of snow yesterday, there are a smattering of school delays across shoreline regions. Patchy black ice is being reported again this morning. The cold air continues to work into the area today via NW winds, so highs are expected to stay below freezing under mostly sunny skies. A very weak wave moves in this evening, with some scattered snow shower activity. A dusting of snow is possible throughout CT, as the very cold airmass will allow anything that falls to accumulate.

The cold pattern continues into Tuesday, but then slowly breaks down through the rest of the week. Temperatures will moderate into the 40s by Wednesday, with a “warm storm” featuring periods of rain Thursday night into Friday morning. This stretch should melt any remaining snowpack by this weekend.

We continue to note the little QPF bump on guidance this evening. Much of the state gets 2 to 3 inches - but isolated 4+ certainly possible at the shoreline.
