A warm and humid May afternoon in 2018 with temperatures rising close to 90 degrees in parts of Connecticut set the stage for one of the worst severe weather outbreaks in the area’s recent history.

Shortly a […]

The cold waters of the Atlantic Ocean and connected Long Island Sound can influence temperatures at the shoreline year round. In April and May, however, the temperature gradient that sets up between the shoreline […]

Any flurries that occurred last night or this morning are essentially Long Island Sound or Atlantic Ocean effect as we have a SE wind off the water. This combined with some mid level energy is the trigger for the […]

Models have trended colder and snowier for the late weekend forecast, with the Euro ensembles beginning to indicate a stronger signal for plowable snow across the region. With a slower track, more cold air is […]

Good morning! Forecast is generally on track for Friday, with light snow falling through much of the day. Expect the steadiest snow to fall late this morning through 3PM or 4PM, although light snow showers may […]

Travel will be very slick this afternoon with temps in the mid to upper 20s along with sleet and freezing rain. We are getting widespread reports of freezing rain throughout CT and very hazardous travel. Precip […]

Models are continuing to be bullish on snow squall potential tomorrow. It appears these squalls will be traversing the area between 12PM and 4PM along an arctic front. Temperatures in the mid to upper 30s around […]

Data coming into the CT Weather Center continues to look alarming regarding a wind and rain event shaping up for Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday. We are leaning high on forecast wording and the potential for […]

The largest snowstorm we’ve seen in a couple of years (not saying much but still) is possible Saturday night into Sunday. While we’re still a ways away from the event, there is strong model support for this […]

One of the best parts about increasing our public presence is the feedback that we get for our forecasts whether positive or negative. Last night and early this morning, the storm system slated to deliver around […]

Looks like a very wet night ahead with short range modeling trending higher with rainfall totals. Rain looks particularly heavy for the early AM commute before tapering off to lighter isolated showers by mid […]

The forecast team wanted to note that several reports were received over the last few days of icy spots in the morning due to freezing of runoff from the excessive rainfall experience on Monday. Icing in the same […]

Forecast is on track for a big ticket “Southeaster” to impact the area tonight and tomorrow. This storm has already produced widespread rain and wind impacts in the Southeast and the Carolinas today, and will com […]

It feels like déjà vu! Another large storm is on the way late Sunday into Monday – and it will not be snow. Despite another rain event, this is an interesting setup from a meteorological perspective, with a t […]

We have just briefed our clients and local Emergency Managers on the storm system impacting the region tonight through Monday.

As of now, no changes to the thinking. The forecast is on track. The damaging wind […]
