After a day of snow statewide, a mid-winter chill has returned to the great state of Connecticut. Ushered in by gusty winds, temps statewide stayed in the low to mid 20s, something like we'd see in January or February, not nearly mid March. Outside of the frigid, blustery conditions, skies stayed mostly sunny for the most part with a scattered snow shower or 2 statewide. Through this evening, cold conditions will persist with temperatures dropping back into the single digits inland with low teens at the shore, winds should begin to slacken as we head through the evening. For your Sunday, temperatures will be slightly "warmer" than today with highs at shore in the mid to upper 20s, and inland only making it to the low to mid 20s. Winds will be much less prevalent on Sunday than they are today, but there will still be a bit of a breeze. Mostly sunny conditions are also expected. Mostly clear conditions continue for Sunday night as temps dip back down into the low to mid teens statewide. For the day on Monday, things will start out tranquil and still unseasonably cold, with high temps at the shore getting into the low to mid 30s and struggling to make it into the 30s inland. Things look to be clear through the PM rush and early evening Monday, with temperatures in the upper 20s to low 30s, then clouds move in and things look to get interesting beginning late on Monday night...
Beyond this next event, we are watching what could be an active pattern over the next 2 weeks. Whether it's wet or white will be determined, but we are definitely watching the long range.
