Good afternoon from Southern Connecticut Weather!
Currently we have sunny and cool across the state with temperatures ranging from the upper 30s inland, to the low to mid 40s at the shore. As we head through this evening, mostly clear , dry conditions should persist with temperatures dropping back through the 30s at the shore and into the 20s inland. Dry conditions remain the rule as we head through your back to work day on Monday, but changes are on the horizon as a low pressure system moves through the Great Lakes region from late Monday through early Wednesday.

Dry conditions remain the rule as we head through your back to work day on Monday, but changes are on the horizon as a low pressure system moves through the Great Lakes region from late Monday through early Wednesday.
At this juncture, it does not look to be a major event, just some nuisance showers and raw conditions. The consensus among all models is for a low-pressure system to track through the Great Lakes, with light to moderate precipitation, mostly falling during the day on Tuesday. The Canadian GGEM and NCEP GFS show the most QPF of all models for Connecticut, mostly centered in southwest CT, but all of the state does look to get the most rain.

For the rest of next week, from Wednesday afternoon on through next weekend, temperatures become colder with dry conditions prevailing. The area does look to stay clear of any major storms through the start of next weekend, but there is a signal for two separate storms as we approach Christmas, one towards the end of next weekend and one towards the middle of next week. Far too early to make any definitive forecasts in terms of track, timing, impacts, or precipitation types, but this is a definitely a period to watch as holiday travel could be impacted.
