Good evening from Southern Connecticut Weather!
Today was a mostly cloudy ,cool, and breezy day across the state, but we did manage to stay dry. Currently we already have quite cool conditions across Connecticut with temps ranging from the mid and upper 20s inland, to low 30s at the shore, with mostly conditions statewide. As we head through the evening, dry conditions will persist and temperatures will drop into the low to mid 20s.

Looking ahead to the day tomorrow, clouds will hang around with maybe some peaks of sun, especially in the morning. During the daylight hours of Saturday, conditions look to be mostly dry with temperatures only getting as high as the mid to upper 30s. As we head through Saturday night into Sunday morning, we are a watching a disturbance that will be passing to the south of Connecticut. The area of precipitation does not look to get close enough the area to cause any problems, but there could be some scattered flurries and sprinkles in the area later Saturday night through Sunday morning. What we are watching for right now is there to be some development off to the east, which could bring in more of a measurable, but minor, snowfall to areas especially east of I91. Any precipitation should start to taper off by the early afternoon hours of Sunday. High temperatures for Sunday afternoon will be in the mid to upper 30s statewide. We will be monitoring models very closely this evening/ tomorrow morning and will make a decision on whether a snowfall forecast map should be made. Sunday evening into the pre dawn hours of Monday look to be mostly dry with temperatures in the mid to upper 30s.
For next week, the models paint an ugly pictures for snow lovers. There looks to be 2 rain makers in the works for Monday into Tuesday and then again on Christmas Eve. Right now the stronger system looks to be the Christmas Eve rain storm, with a low pressure area tracking into the Great Lakes and secondary development looking to occur south and east of Long Island, gusty winds and heavy downpours with mild conditions look to be quite probable for Wednesday morning, afternoon, and evening. We will have more about the 2 systems in a discussion on Sunday evening when the extended forecast is released.

Have a good evening everyone! Look for a snowfall map/discussion (if needed) sometime tomorrow late morning or afternoon, with a more in depth discussion on the pre holiday rains and extended forecast coming sometime later Sunday night. As always, thank you for continuing to read and support Southern Connecticut Weather, stay tuned!- Tim
