Good morning to you from Southern Connecticut Weather!
Currently we’ve got unseasonably warm temperatures across the state, but those won’t last as a cold front sweeps through the state later this morning, shutting off any remaining showers that are lingering across the state. We should see temperatures falling through the afternoon as cold air filters in from the west, and strong winds are likely as well behind the passage of the front. As such, the NWS has issued a wind advisory for the entire state through this evening. A few scattered snow showers are possible tonight in western portions of the state from whatever lake effect remnants make it this far east, but I don’t expect anything more than perhaps a light dusting in the northwest hills as shown below on the hires NAM.

Behind the front, expect seasonably cool temperatures and partly sunny skies to start off your workweek. Highs should range from upper 30s in the hilltowns to lower 40s in the valley and along the coastline tomorrow. We warm up Tuesday as we are warm-sectored between two systems; one to our south along the coastline and one passing to our northwest, this will lead to highs in the mid 50s across the state and increasing clouds throughout the day.
For Wednesday, the models had kept the two systems far enough away from us that we remained mainly dry aside from a few passing showers, but the coastal system jumped northwest on guidance over the past few cycles and now scrapes our region on the GFS and is a full born rainstorm on the Canadian. Would like to see this trend hold for another cycle or two before becoming confident on a widespread rain event for Wednesday, but the previous consensus forecast of mostly sunny seems to be in doubt. Will add in a chance of rain for Wednesday and re-evaluate tomorrow morning once we have one more round of guidance in. Here's a comparison of the GGEM and GFS from their overnight runs to their midday runs, notice the shift NW in the coastal low.

The northern system drags in another cold front behind it as it exits, leading to seasonably cool and calm weather for your Thanksgiving day and Black Friday. Looks like highs in the low 40s on Thursday and in the mid 40s Friday with mostly sunny skies for the period. The next system will once again sweep in from our northwest for next weekend, at this time, this one looks a little bit further north of the previous ones we’ve seen and so just some showers is all we’d expect here, but as we’re still a week out, will go with a general chance of rain until we get a better look at the setup later in the week.
