Good morning from Southern Connecticut Weather!
Last week I used the F word (fall) and saw a rebellion. Last time I said a week ahead was boring, we saw widespread severe. Learning my lesson, I’m saying neither this week.
The week ahead does look mostly nice though, with a return to warmer and humid conditions and chances for unsettled conditions by the end of the week.
Today
Today is off to a beautiful start, and will be a beautiful day. The sun is out and dew points are in the low 50s as an area of high pressure noses in. Highs should be in the low to mid 80s statewide today. If you are heading to the beach, especially in Long Island, watch for rip currents.

Monday-Wednesday
The first half of the week is dominated by high pressure over the region. That should give us sunny and warm conditions. Each day gets warmer and more humid, and inland areas could even be flirting with 90 by Tuesday and Wednesday as we start to see more southwest flow bringing more warmth and moisture into the region. Overall though, no complaints. There may be a few isolated showers, but nothing significant.

GEFS projection of rainfall over the region over the next week. The trend has been toward drier, but clearly shows the potential for showers and thunderstorms, especially toward the end of the week.
Thursday-Saturday
Things start to turn more unsettled during the latter half of the week, as the high pressure shifts and we see increased chances for showers and thunderstorms. Timing is unclear at this time, but I think much of the focus will be on Friday as a cold front begins to press into the region. Overall, a decent week.
News and Notes
I should have done this earlier, but as we press on through the doldrums of summer, I’ll be doing a new section in my discussions. Things of interest that may or may not be related to Connecticut weather.
-The first day of August is on Tuesday. We are slowly coming down our peak temperatures for the year, and that begins to accelerate during the month of August. Nothing like September.

-We're watching an area of disturbed weather in the northeast Gulf of Mexico. The National Hurricane Center is giving it a low chance of development right now. It is no threat to Connecticut.
As we head into August, we begin approaching the peak of the hurricane season.
