As moves away from Bermuda the tropics have quieted down for the moment. There are a couple of areas shaded in yellow worth watching in the coming days, but certainly no threats to the Northeast at the moment.

Forecast Discussion 10/1:

Welcome to October! Autumn will finally make itself known across Connecticut starting Wednesday. Expect plenty of sunshine to go along with a stiff northerly breeze, thanks to the area being wedged between building high pressure and Imelda and Humberto well offshore. Winds could gust 25 to mph at times on Wednesday. High temperatures will range from the mid to upper 60s— a few degrees below normal for early October. Wednesday night will be clear and chilly, especially in the northwest hills where temperatures could dip into the mid to upper 30s. Most other areas will see lows in the 40s. While frost isn’t officially in the forecast yet, patchy frost is possible in colder spots like Litchfield County.

Thursday continues the sunny streak, though some thin clouds may move in later in the day. Highs will again be in the mid-60s. Overnight skies remain mostly clear, but those cirrus clouds could limit how much temperatures drop, so expect temps to be in the low 40s.

From Friday through the weekend and into early next week, high pressure will dominate, keeping things dry and pleasant. Temperatures will gradually warm, reaching the low to mid 70s by Saturday and possibly upper 70s by Sunday and Monday—about 5 to 10 degrees above normal. Nights will be cool but not cold, with lows mostly in the 50s. A cold front may approach late Tuesday, bringing a chance of showers, but timing is still uncertain.

Forecast Discussion 9/30:

Morning satellite imagery shows partly cloudy skies across the area as high clouds from Tropical Storm Imelda linger. High pressure will continue to be in control, with a cold front moving through dry by this evening. Tuesday will be partly sunny and warm once again with highs again in the upper 70s to near 80. Many reported a great sunset last night with high clouds from Imelda. Expect another opportunity for a great sunset this evening if cloud conditions persist as forecast.

Winds will shift to the northeast and strengthen overnight tonight, with gusts 20 to 25 mph possible. This wind is associated with the pressure gradient between high pressure to out north and Hurricane Humberto and Tropical Storm Imelda off the SE US Coast. Cooler air will bring lows down to the 40s across much of the region by Wednesday morning.

No major changes to the extended forecast. From Wednesday through Sunday, expect another dry and relatively quiet weather period. Breezy northeast winds continue into Thursday, with gusts up to 25 mph. Highs will be in the 60s by midweek, with some inland valleys dipping into the upper 30s at night. By Friday and into the weekend, temperatures will gradually warm back into the 70s as high pressure remains in control.

Forecast Discussion: 9/25

Rounds of showers and downpours are moving through the region this morning. Expect periods of rain to continue through the day today, The rainfall may be heavy at times, and we cannot rule out some urban, poor drainage and street flooding. It will be warm and humid with dew points rising to near 70, and precipitable water (PWAT) values of near or greater than 2. This is a clear indicator of the potential for heavy rainfall.

As the cold front approaches during the afternoon, a line of storms is may try to form through the area – moving NW to SE through CT. Given strong atmospheric wind profiles and low level wind shear, an isolated strong storm cannot be ruled out. The SPC has now highlighted the Hudson Valley and much of CT in a Level 1 severe risk along with a 2% risk of a tornado within 25 miles of a point. Thinking at this stage the greatest threat is to our SW of the region over Pennsylvania and New Jersey, but it is certainly worth keeping an eye out for weather warnings this afternoon.

There could be some lingering showers for Friday, but any activity will be lighter and confined to the morning – mostly before 8AM. By the weekend, I expect sunshine to continue as high pressure builds in from the northwest on Saturday. We do have to keep an eye on the tropics, however, as a pair of tropical waves are likely to form into Tropical Storms/Hurricanes by this weekend, potentially influencing our weather pattern early next week. Stay tuned!

Forecast Discussion 9/24:

Inland areas did better with rainfall last night, as thunderstorms produced about 0.50 to 1.0 inches of rain across the I84 corridor, while coastal areas saw little to no rainfall. Patchy areas of fog and drizzle are being reported this morning as the frontal system has mostly stalled out over the area.

Wednesday will be mainly dry, although isolated to scattered showers and storms will develop again during the afternoon and evening, especially across the interior. Areas on the shoreline that have missed out on rainfall will have a better chance tonight into Thursday, as shower activity becomes more numerous and widespread. There continues to be higher confidence in a washout for Thursday, with periods of rain throughout the day. The rainfall may be heavy at times, and we cannot rule out some urban, poor drainage and street flooding.

There could be some lingering showers for Friday, but any activity will be lighter. Changed the forecast to ‘partly cloudy’ with just an isolated chance of showers. By the weekend, expecting sunshine to return as high pressure builds in from the northwest. We do have to keep an eye on the tropics, however, as a pair of tropical waves are likely to form into Tropical Storms by this weekend, potentially influencing our weather pattern early next week. Stay tuned!

Thunderstorms are moving into the region. Locally heavy rainfall and frequent lightning are occurring with these storms!

Forecast Discussion 9/23:

Morning satellite reveals partly cloudy skies across the region. Tuesday will have a partly sunny start before showers and storms attempt to move in later today and tonight from west to east. It will be noticeably warmer and more humid on Tuesday, with many locations getting into the lower 80s. A cold front is on track to approach the region by tonight into early Wednesday morning. A batch of heavier showers and embedded storms is possible late this afternoon through the evening, especially in Western zones. This is supported by latest shot range model guidance. While no severe weather is expected, areas that do see storms could see vivid lightning and especially loud thunder given the atmospheric profile.

Some lingering showers may persist into Wednesday morning as the front slows and stalls over the Mid-Atlantic, but the day is not expected to be a washout. Depending on how much cloud cover and precipitation remain, Wednesday afternoon should again be warm, with high temperatures generally reaching the mid to upper 70s. There could be some breaks of sun, but guidance continues to also show the chance for light showers and drizzle redeveloping in the afternoon. By Thursday, another frontal system approaching from the west will bring renewed chances for rain. There is now higher confidence in a washout for Thursday, with periods of rain throughout the day.

There could be some lingering showers for Friday, but any activity will be lighter. Might lean towards a more optimistic Friday forecast if things continue to trend drier. By next weekend, expecting sunshine to return as high pressure builds in from the northwest.

Fall is now upon us! The autumnal equinox occurred at roughly 2:19 PM this afternoon. You may feel compelled to break out those sweaters and sweatshirts but the next couple days are going to be warm and humid. Overnight lows are also going to be warmer than the last few days. Things change next week with more of a northerly flow cooler temperatures

Forecast Discussion 9/22:

Expect mostly sunny conditions to kick off the work week. It will be a nice September day on Monday, with highs near seasonal norms in the middle to upper 70s. A cold front will approach the region Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, causing humidity and cloud cover to increase on Tuesday. A batch of heavier showers and embedded storms is possible late Tuesday afternoon through Tuesday night, especially in Western zones. Some lingering showers may persist into Wednesday morning as the front slows and stalls over the Mid-Atlantic, but the day is not expected to be a washout. Depending on how much cloud cover and precipitation remain, Wednesday afternoon should again be warm, with high temperatures generally reaching the mid to upper 70s. By Thursday, another frontal system approaching from the west will bring renewed chances for rain.

Scattered thunderstorms are also possible Thursday night into Friday, though the timing and coverage of rainfall remain uncertain. Thinking right now that Thursday has the best chance of being a “washout” across the region. Daytime highs will be near seasonal averages, while nighttime lows may run slightly above normal due to increased cloud cover and moisture. By next weekend, expecting sunshine to return as high pressure builds in from the northwest.
