The Connecticut Weather Podcast

Good morning. Maine. I'm DJ Huzz. Step outside and you can feel the atmosphere shifting gears. High pressure is parked directly overhead, giving us this brilliant sunshine. We started at a chilly 19 degrees, but you've already rebounded into the low 40s. Today's high hits 43 degrees — that's about 11 degrees warmer than normal for late February. Here's the story: that high is drifting east, allowing southerly winds to pump in milder air. Enjoy the break. Because an arctic cold front is gathering strength out west. In the next 24 hours. Tonight, you'll notice the air feeling a bit heavier as temperatures settle into the mid-20s statewide. Keep an eye out after 3 A.M. — patchy fog is likely to develop as moisture from the melting snowpack meets that incoming warmth. Saturday shapes up to be a gem. Central Connecticut warms to 50 degrees. If you're closer to the coast or heading east, expect the mid-40s. Any morning fog burns off quickly, leaving partly sunny skies. But Sunday brings a reality check. That cold front sweeps through with snow showers likely statewide. Accumulations look light — just a coating to an inch. The real drama is Sunday night. Central Connecticut crashes to 11 degrees. Coastal areas hit 14. With winds picking up. Monday morning wind chills will sit near or below zero. Monday stays bitter, with highs stuck in the upper 20s. The week ahead is a classic late-winter roller coaster. That arctic blast on Monday fades fast. By Tuesday through Thursday, we're back to a unsettled mix of rain and snow with temperatures rebounding into the 40s. Spring is three weeks away, but winter isn't quite done with us yet. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. Stay safe, stay prepared. and enjoy the day.

Central Connecticut is leading the charge at 43 degrees. The coast sits a touch cooler at 38, thanks to those southerly winds skimming across Long Island Sound. Eastern areas split the difference at 39. All of it under crystal clear skies. Tonight stays quiet. Lows settle near 25 degrees along the coast and east, 27 inland. One thing to watch. Patchy fog rolls in after 3 A.M. As moisture from our snowpack meets the warmer air. That could make early Saturday driving a little tricky. And Saturday? That's the real headline. Central Connecticut hits 50 degrees. Fifty. In February. Fog burns off by 9 A.M., then partly sunny skies take over. The coast reaches 45. Eastern spots climb to 46.

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Connecticut Weather Podcast. It's Thursday, February 26th. Folks, grab that coffee and listen up. That half inch of snow overnight? It's already causing trouble. Temperatures dropped below freezing and turned that snowmelt into a skating rink. Sidewalks, side roads, untreated surfaces.. Watch your step through about 9 A.M. Once the sun gets to work, though, today shapes up nicely. The coast climbs to 39 degrees under mostly sunny skies. Central Connecticut lands around 38. Head east and you'll see the warmest reading.. 40 degrees, right on target for late February. Nothing flashy, but honestly? After this winter, I'll take it. Now the plot twist. Tonight, clear skies and dead calm air let the heat drain out fast. We're talking a 20 to 25 degrees nosedive. Coastal towns settle near 19 degrees. Central Connecticut craters to 12. That's the kind of cold where your car door handle bites back. Eastern spots land around 18. Layer up before bed if your house runs drafty. Looking ahead, Friday stays quiet and sunny, upper 30s. Saturday is your gem. Sunny skies, 46 to 48 degrees statewide. Open a window. Sit on the porch. Remember what warmth feels like. Then Sunday.. Winter throws a counterpunch. A cold front rolls through with snow showers in the morning. And Arctic air floods in behind it. Highs barely crack the mid 30s. Monday gets genuinely cold. Upper 20s for highs, teens overnight. Tuesday into Wednesday stays unsettled with chances for snow or a wintry mix before temperatures crawl back toward 40. One more bright spot. Sunrise hits 6:32 A.M., sunset at 5:38 P.M. We're gaining almost three minutes of daylight every day now. The spring equinox is just three weeks out. Keep those phones charged and check your tire pressure in this cold. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good evening! I'm Aaron Jolly. Welcome to the Connecticut Weather Podcast for Wednesday, February 25th. That dusting of snow from last night? It's still clinging to every rooftop and railing. Fifteen degrees overnight made sure of that. Right now you're at 38 degrees, which is textbook late February for Connecticut. Today was pleasant enough. Mostly sunny, calm southwest winds around 7 miles an hour, highs near 39 degrees along the coast and 38 inland. Nothing dramatic. But tonight.. Tonight gets interesting. A quick cold front is sliding through central Connecticut. Scattered snow showers pop up between 8 P.M. and 2 A.M., with the best chance right around 10 P.M. Nothing major, just enough to dust the windshield again. If you're along the coast or out east, you mostly dodge this one. Partly cloudy skies and that's about it. Lows drop to 26 degrees inland. The shoreline holds a few degrees warmer, 28 to 29. Thursday brings sunshine back. Highs climb to 38 to 41 degrees. A weak storm passes well south of us. We don't even get a postcard from it. Thursday night gets cold though. Inland spots fall to 16 degrees. The coast settles near 19 to 20. Now the week ahead tells a real story, folks. Friday stays pleasant, highs near 40 degrees. Saturday is the gem. Mid 40s. Your warmest day all week. Enjoy the thaw while you can. Sunday a cold front rolls through with light snow showers, mainly between 7 A.M. and 1 P.M. And behind that front? Arctic air. Monday and Tuesday look unsettled with more snow chances as temperatures crash into the 20s. Confidence on the details is still low, but the pattern is shifting cold in a hurry. Keep an eye on that Sunday front. I'll have much more on the Arctic blast tomorrow night. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good afternoon! I'm Aaron Jolly. Welcome to the Connecticut Weather Podcast for Wednesday, February 25th. So that snow on your windshield this morning? That's a clipper system making a quick exit. About half an inch fell overnight. Another inch or two before it wraps up around midday. Not a blockbuster. But enough to make the roads sneaky. Eastern Connecticut is getting the steadiest snow right now. You're sitting at 39 degrees. That snow tapers off by 11 A.M., then shifts to a rain snow mix before calling it quits. Central Connecticut is right there at 38 degrees. A slight chance of flurries before noon, then a quiet afternoon. Tonight gets more interesting though. Rain moves in between 8 P.M. and 2 A.M. Set your wipers to ready. Down along the coast, also 39 degrees. Maybe a brief mix around 11 A.M., but otherwise just gray skies doing their thing. Nothing dramatic. Tonight, skies partially clear statewide. Lows settle near 28 degrees along the coast and in the east. Central spots dip to 26. That damp chill that cuts right through your jacket? Yeah. That's tonight. Folks, the week ahead tells a good story. Thursday brings mostly sunny skies and highs near 40. Friday stays pleasant. Same deal. Then Saturday.. Mid to upper 40s under sunshine. That's February pretending to be March. Enjoy every minute of it.. Because an arctic front crashes the party Sunday night. Monday and Tuesday? Highs barely crack the upper 20s to low 30s. With a chance of snow. A 20 degrees nosedive in 48 hours. Fun fact. On this exact date in 2016, Connecticut hit nearly 47 degrees. Today we got snow. And we're gaining almost three minutes of daylight every day now. Spring equinox is just three weeks out. I'll be tracking that arctic front all weekend. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. Welcome to the Connecticut Weather Podcast for Wednesday, February 25th. Folks, grab your coffee and your snow brush. Fourteen degrees outside right now. And a quick hitting snowstorm is already knocking on our door. Snow starts flying across the state around 5 A.M. Along the coast, it wraps up by noon. Central Connecticut keeps it going until 1 P.M. Eastern Connecticut? You've got the longest window.. Snow sticking around until 3 P.M. Peak intensity hits early. Coastal and eastern towns see the heaviest rates near 7 A.M. Central Connecticut peaks closer to 8 A.M. We're talking half an inch to an inch per hour during those bursts. That's enough to turn your commute into a skating rink. Total accumulation runs one to three inches statewide. Not a blockbuster, but with temps starting in the teens, every flake sticks. Now the temperatures. The coast wakes up at 25 degrees around 5 A.M., then climbs to 38 degrees by 3 P.M. Central Connecticut starts brutally cold.. 17 degrees at 5 A.M., crawling to 36 degrees by 2 P.M. Eastern Connecticut sits at 20 degrees around 5 A.M., reaching 38 degrees by 3 P.M. Winds shift from south to southwest around 9 A.M. along the coast and closer to 10 A.M. out east. Tonight skies partially clear. Lows settle into the mid 20s. Thursday brings partly sunny skies and 39 degrees. Not bad. Here's where it gets interesting. The weekend is shaping up beautifully. Saturday's the gem.. Mostly sunny, mid 40s. Feels like a gift. Then early next week, an Arctic blast crashes the party. Highs drop back into the 20s with a chance of snow Monday. Fun fact. On this date in 2016, Connecticut hit nearly 47 degrees. Today you're getting 39. Spring equinox is three weeks out. And you're gaining almost three minutes of daylight every day. Progress. If you're driving this morning, slow down and leave early. Your future self will thank you. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care!

Good evening! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Connecticut Weather Podcast for Tuesday, February 24th. Folks — if you stepped outside today and thought something felt *off*, you're not imagining things. We've got a weird one tonight. Connecticut is stuck in this strange limbo where winter can't quite commit. And spring doesn't have the guts to show up yet. Step outside right now and you'll feel temperatures sitting in the mid-30s across most of the state. Hartford's hovering around 36. Down along the shoreline in New Haven, you're a touch milder at 38. Head up toward Litchfield County, though. And it's a different story — you're dipping closer to 30 with a raw wind that **bites**. Here's what I'm watching tonight. Cloud cover is thickening up from the southwest. We've got a system sliding through that's going to bring some light precipitation overnight. And here's where it gets tricky — the Litchfield Hills could see a coating of wet snow, maybe an inch or two on grassy surfaces. Meanwhile, the rest of the state? You're looking at a cold, steady drizzle. The kind that makes your windshield wipers work overtime and your morning commute just annoying enough to ruin your coffee routine. By Wednesday morning, temperatures drop into the upper 20s statewide. Any of that moisture on the roads? It's freezing up. **Hidden black ice** will be lurking, especially on bridges and overpasses. You'll want to slow down and give yourself extra time if you're heading out early. Here's your heads-up for the rest of the week. Wednesday stays gray and chilly, highs barely cracking 40. Thursday brings a brief break — some sun, maybe even a taste of 45 degrees. Because Friday another system moves in. This one looks wetter. We could be talking a solid inch of rain by Friday night. You know, ayuh — wait, wrong state. But honestly, this back-and-forth February nonsense feels universal. Connecticut's version of mud season is just puddles in every parking lot and that one pothole on I-84 that keeps getting deeper. Keep the ice scraper handy for tomorrow morning. And if you're anywhere near the hills, take it slow. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care, folks!

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. Welcome to the Connecticut Weather Podcast for Tuesday, February 24th. Folks, that storm left us a parting gift. Almost two inches of fresh snow on the ground and black ice hiding on every shaded road. If you're heading out before 7 A.M., take it slow. Seriously slow. Wind chills around 8 A.M. Drop to 11 degrees. That's the kind of cold that finds every gap in your jacket. Now the good news. Skies clear by mid morning. Sunshine takes over. But don't let it trick you. Step outside along the coast and you're only hitting 30 degrees today. Slide inland to the central valley and it's even stingier. Tops near 27. Eastern Connecticut lands around 30 as well. That's a solid 8 degrees below normal for late February. Tonight is where it gets interesting. A sneaky round of snow creeps in around 4 A.M. Along the coast and eastern Connecticut. Central Connecticut sees it closer to 5 A.M. Totals stay light, maybe an inch. But lows plunge to 17 along the shore, 11 in the central corridor. And 13 out east. Every puddle, every wet spot.. Refreezes. Wednesday morning commute is going to be tricky. Wednesday itself is a weather blender. Morning snow flips to a wintry mix, then rain along the coast by afternoon. Central Connecticut could stack up 1 to 3 inches before the changeover. Temperatures surge into the upper 30s. Messy but manageable. The real headline? This unsettled pattern sticks around through Friday with quick hitting snow chances. Then Saturday opens up. Highs push into the mid 40s with sunshine. Almost feels like someone cracked a window into March. Sunday pulls back to 40 with a slight snow chance overnight. One bright spot worth noting. Sunrise today at 6:35 A.M., sunset at 5:36 P.M. We're gaining three minutes of daylight every day. Coastal tides stay calm. High tide near New London hits at 2:16 A.M. And again at 2:42 P.M. Keep that ice scraper in the car all week. You'll need it more than once. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care!

Good evening! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Connecticut Weather Podcast for Monday, February 23rd. Folks, four inches of fresh snow greeted you this morning. And it's not done causing trouble. Blowing snow and black ice are teaming up tonight through Tuesday morning. The National Weather Service flagged it. Reduced visibility, slick untreated roads. You'll want to plan that Tuesday commute carefully. Let's take a drive across the state. Along the coast, gusts hit 22 miles an hour this afternoon, whipping that fresh snow sideways. You're topping out around 33 degrees near 5 P.M., but wind chill makes it feel like 21. Tonight drops to 20 degrees. Those winds keep howling. Tuesday brings sunshine and 31 degrees, then snow showers sneak back in Tuesday night. Slide inland to central Connecticut. Quieter skies today, but the cold bites harder. Highs barely touch 31 degrees around 5 P.M. Overnight? Eighteen degrees, feeling like 7. That's the kind of cold where your car door handle fights back. Tuesday stays sunny but stuck in the upper 20s. Wednesday, a clipper drops an inch or two of snow. Just enough to ruin a clean driveway. Now push east. This is where the wind gets angry. Gusts to 28 miles an hour are shredding visibility. Highs struggle to 32 degrees. Tonight falls to 19, feeling like 8. Wednesday brings a rain and snow mix with about an inch of accumulation. One more thing to watch. High tide at 10 degrees:38 P.M. In New London could push minor coastal flooding into low spots. The week ahead starts locked in the deep freeze through Tuesday. Wednesday's the plot twist. A clipper rolls through with light snow, but highs jump to 40 degrees. Thursday and Friday? More wintry mix. Then Saturday.. Sunny and 43 degrees. Almost feels like a promise. We're gaining nearly three minutes of daylight every day now. Spring's warming up in the bullpen. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care!

Good afternoon! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Connecticut Weather Podcast for Monday, February 23rd. Folks, Connecticut is getting absolutely hammered right now. A full blown nor'easter is sitting on top of us. And the worst is still ahead. Four inches already on the ground. It's 28 degrees with snow falling.. And the real punch lands at 11 A.M. That's when the heavy bands move in. Snowfall rates of one to two inches per hour through 6 P.M. You're not driving through that. You're white knuckling it. Eastern Connecticut takes the worst beating. Three to seven more inches with gusts screaming to 53 miles an hour. That's blizzard territory. Whiteout conditions. Temps peak near 30 degrees around 11 A.M., then crash to 20 tonight. If you're anywhere near New London, here's the thing. High tide hits at 11 degrees:38 P.M.. And storm surge could push minor flooding into coastal streets. Slide west along the shoreline and the coast still catches gusts to 48 miles an hour. Highs reach 33 degrees around 3 P.M. Before dropping to 20 overnight. Heavy snow and blowing snow don't quit until 6 P.M. Push inland to Hartford and central Connecticut gets a slightly lighter dose. One to three more inches before things taper around 5 P.M. Highs hit 32 degrees near 1 P.M., then slide to 18 by 7 A.M. Tuesday. Wind chills tonight? Feels like 7 degrees. The kind of cold that finds every gap in your jacket. Power outages are likely, especially east. Wet heavy snow plus those winds? Trees and lines are coming down. Stay home if you can. Now the week ahead tells a better story. Tuesday brings sunshine but stays frigid, upper 20s to low 30s. Wednesday nudges toward 40 with a chance of light morning snow. Thursday and Friday bring a rain snow mix, highs climbing into the low 40s. By Saturday.. Mid 40s and sunshine. That's the light at the end of this tunnel. Keep your phones charged and your flashlights close tonight. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Connecticut Weather Podcast. It's Monday, February 23rd.. And folks, this is the real deal. Two and a half inches already on the ground. That's just the appetizer. From 5 A.M. Through 6 P.M. Today, a full blown blizzard buries the state. The National Weather Service is calling this life threatening. Not a phrase they throw around lightly. Eastern Connecticut takes the worst of it. You're looking at 10 to 16 more inches on top of what's fallen. Winds howl northeast at 33 miles an hour, gusting to 51. That creates whiteout conditions, especially before noon. Visibility drops to a quarter mile. Tonight lows hit 20 degrees, feeling like 11. Slide west into the central corridor. Another 3 to 7 inches pile up before snow tapers off around 5 P.M. Gusts still reach 49 miles an hour. Wind shifts northwest by 8 P.M. But keeps hammering. Overnight? 18 degrees, wind chill of 9. Along the coast, you've got a double threat. Snow totals of 9 to 13 inches plus coastal flooding risk. Gusts to 51 miles an hour. Snow wraps up by 6 P.M. But blowing snow and black ice make roads treacherous well into tonight. Lows near 20 degrees, feeling like 10. Here's what scares me most. Heavy wet snow plus those gusts could snap trees and drop power lines, especially out east. If you lose power, have a plan. This could last days. Looking ahead, Tuesday brings sunshine but brutal cold. Highs barely crack the upper 20s. Overnight lows plunge to single digits. Wednesday a clipper drops 1 to 2 inches of light snow with highs rebounding near 40 degrees. Thursday gets messy with rain and snow mixing. But Saturday.. Finally. Mid 40s and sunshine. If you're thinking about driving today, don't. Seriously. Stay home. Charge your phones, fill some water jugs. And keep flashlights handy. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care!

Good evening! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Connecticut Weather Podcast for Sunday, February 22nd. Folks, this is the one. The storm we'll be telling stories about. Right now it's deceptively calm. A few flurries, 33 degrees, light northeast breeze. Enjoy it. By 5 P.M., snow starts falling. By tonight, we're in a full blizzard. The National Weather Service is calling this historic. And they're not being dramatic. Let's take a trip across the state. Down along the coast, snow ramps up hard by 10 P.M. You're talking one to two inches an hour. Gusts hitting 47 miles an hour. By morning, 11 to 17 inches on the ground. Temperatures actually rise overnight from 27 degrees at 8 P.M. To near 30 by dawn, but wind chills will make it feel like 12 degrees. And if you're near the shoreline in New London County, moderate coastal flooding hits between midnight and 5 A.M. Move your car to higher ground tonight. Over in central Connecticut, snow holds off until after 4 A.M. Monday. Then it drops 7 to 11 inches with gusts near 49 miles an hour. The real gut punch? Temperatures crash to 9 degrees by Tuesday morning. That's a 40 degree swing in 24 hours. Eastern Connecticut catches the worst of it. Snow starts by 5 P.M. And doesn't quit. Up to 17 inches possible with gusts reaching 53 miles an hour. Whiteout conditions. Zero visibility. Stay home. This is a triple threat. Heavy snow, damaging winds, coastal flooding. Travel should be emergencies only tonight through Monday. Now the week ahead tells quite a story. Tuesday stays bitter, highs barely cracking 30 degrees with black ice lurking everywhere. Wednesday warms to the upper 30s but brings a messy wintry mix. Thursday and Friday hover in the low 40s with more rain and snow chances. Then Saturday finally delivers sunshine and mid 40s. You'll earn that one. Charge your phones, fill the bathtub, check on your neighbors tonight. This storm demands respect. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care!

Good afternoon! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Connecticut Weather Podcast. It's Sunday, February 22nd. And folks, I'm not going to sugarcoat this. A historic blizzard is bearing down on Connecticut right now. And by tomorrow morning, you won't recognize your neighborhood. Right now you're at 33 degrees under gray skies. Feels calm. Almost peaceful. That changes fast. Snow starts along the coast near 4 PM and spreads inland by evening. By dinnertime, winds are howling at 40 miles an hour. If you're not home yet, get there now. Tonight is when this storm turns violent. Snowfall rates hit two to three inches per hour. Winds explode to 60 miles an hour. Visibility drops to zero. This is a textbook blizzard. And it will rage all night long. Now let me walk you through what your town is facing. Down along the coast, New London through Groton, you're looking at 10 to 16 inches with gusts to 46 miles an hour. Coastal flooding hits at high tide Monday around 12:42 PM. Up to two and a half feet of storm surge. Don't drive through floodwater. Slide inland to Hartford and central Connecticut. Snow arrives by 7 PM, heavy by 11. You're getting 9 to 17 inches total with 49 mile an hour gusts. Eastern Connecticut gets hammered hardest. Up to 17 inches tonight alone, with another foot possible Monday. Wind gusts reaching 53 miles an hour will snap trees and drop power lines. Wind chills plummet to minus 10. Charge every device you own. Fill your bathtubs. Have a backup heat source ready. Travel bans are coming tonight. Stay home. Looking past the storm, Tuesday brings bitter cold and sunshine. Wednesday flirts with 39 degrees and light snow. Thursday and Friday warm into the low 40s, but rain mixing with snowmelt means flooding risk. Saturday finally gives you sunshine near 42 degrees to start digging out. I'll be tracking this storm all night. Take care of each other tonight. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly, and welcome to the Connecticut Weather Podcast. It's Sunday, February 22nd. Folks, I'm not going to sugarcoat this. A monster nor'easter is bearing down on us right now. This is the kind of storm people remember for decades. Snow's already flying, and what's coming next is genuinely dangerous. Here's what's happening. A bomb cyclone is forming off the coast. Pressure is cratering from 1005 millibars to around 965 in just 24 hours. That's the atmosphere throwing a tantrum. Let's start along the shoreline. Coastal towns from Fairfield to New London? You're looking at blizzard conditions tonight. Winds will howl to 32 miles an hour with gusts near 50. Snowfall rates hit 2 to 4 inches per hour at the peak. Total accumulation? 19 to 29 inches. On top of that, a coastal flood warning kicks in at midnight. Expect a foot and a half to two and a half feet of water inundation near the shore. Don't drive through floodwaters. Period. Head inland to Hartford and the central corridor. You're catching 9 to 17 inches total with gusts reaching 49 miles an hour Monday. Roads will be impassable. If you absolutely must travel, pack blankets, water, and food in your car. Now the eastern side of the state gets hammered hardest. 22 to 34 inches. Yes, potentially close to three feet. Wind chills plunge to 16 degrees. Power outages are almost certain, and crews can't restore service until the wind dies down. Charge your phones now. Stock up on water and medications. Check on your neighbors, especially anyone elderly or living alone. Air quality sits at moderate, so take breaks if you're shoveling with respiratory issues. The week ahead does get better. Tuesday brings sunshine but bitter cold, highs barely touching 30 degrees. Wednesday warms near 40 with a chance of light snow or rain. Thursday and Friday stay unsettled in the low 40s. Saturday finally delivers a gorgeous, mostly sunny day. Perfect for tackling those snow mountains. One quick thing. If this podcast helps you stay prepared, share it with a neighbor. Storms like this are when community matters most. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Stay safe tonight, folks. This one's serious.

Good evening! I'm Aaron Jolly, and welcome to the Connecticut Weather Podcast for Saturday, February 21st. Folks, enjoy tonight's calm. Seriously. Soak it in. Because a monster nor'easter is barreling toward us, and by tomorrow afternoon, Connecticut transforms into a snow globe someone shook way too hard. Right now you're sitting at 41 degrees. That's 8 degrees above normal. Mild, quiet, almost suspicious. Here's the deal. First flakes arrive between 6 and 7 tonight along the coast, then spread inland. By midnight, it's all snow. Lows drop to the upper 20s. Sunday is when this thing explodes. Snow falls at 1 to 3 inches an hour. Winds crank to 35, maybe 55 miles an hour along the coast. Southeastern Connecticut could see gusts near 46 degrees. That's blizzard territory. Visibility drops to zero. Travel becomes flat out dangerous. Now the totals. Down along the coast from Stamford to New London, you're looking at 9 to 13 inches, maybe 15 in spots. Hartford and central Connecticut, same range. Head east toward Norwich and Putnam, 8 to 12 inches, with the far southeast corner potentially buried under 17. Here's what keeps me up at night. Coastal flooding. A 2 to 3 foot storm surge hits during Monday's early morning high tide, around 11 degrees to 11 degrees A.M. New London and Middlesex counties face moderate flooding. Move vehicles to higher ground if you're near the shoreline. Blizzard and winter storm warnings are posted statewide. You'll want to prep tonight. Flashlights, batteries, backup heat. This heavy wet snow plus those winds means power outages are likely. If you've Sunday travel plans, cancel them. Here's your heads up for the week ahead. Monday the snow tapers but winds gust to 45 miles an hour. Highs barely crack 30 degrees. Tuesday brings sunshine but brutal cold, teens and single digits overnight. Wednesday flirts with light snow again. Thursday and Friday warm into the low 40s with rain and snow showers mixed in. One more thing. If this podcast helps you prep for storms like this, share it with a neighbor. We're all in this together. Stay safe out there, folks. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good evening! I'm Aaron Jolly, and this's the Connecticut Weather Podcast for Saturday, February 21st. Folks, I need you to listen closely tonight. A historic blizzard is bearing down on Connecticut. Today felt almost springlike. Highs hit 46 degrees along the coast, eight degrees above normal. Enjoy that memory. It's about to get buried. Here's the deal. That half inch of snow overnight? Just the appetizer. The National Weather Service is throwing around words like "life threatening" and "treacherous." They don't do that lightly. Down along the coast, rain and snow mix moves in around 7 tonight. By Sunday night, heavy snow and wind gusts to 44 miles an hour create near zero visibility. We're talking 10 to 14 inches by Monday. If you're near New London, expect moderate coastal flooding. A foot and a half to two and a half feet of water in low spots. Roads will vanish. Head inland to central Connecticut and you'll want to watch for light snow starting around 9 tonight. Sunday night is when it gets brutal. Four to eight inches with gusts to 39 miles an hour. Blizzard warnings here too. Wet, heavy snow means snapped branches and likely power outages. Monday's high barely crawls to 33 degrees. Wind chills in the teens. Eastern Connecticut gets hammered hardest. Snow starts between 6 and 9 tonight. Eight to twelve inches pile up by Monday with gusts to 46 miles an hour. Monday's 35 degrees will feel like 16. That's frostbite cold, folks. Here's your heads up for the week ahead. Monday night the snow finally quits, but lows crash to 16 degrees inland. Wind chills near zero. Everything refreezes solid. Wednesday brings a brief thaw near 38 degrees with another chance of light snow. Thursday and Friday we slowly climb into the low 40s, but snowmelt flooding becomes the next headache. Stock up tonight. Charge everything. don't drive Sunday night or Monday. One more thing. If this podcast helps you stay prepared, share it with a neighbor. Storms like this are why we do this. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Stay safe out there.

Good afternoon! I'm Aaron Jolly, and welcome to the Connecticut Weather Podcast. It's Saturday, February 19th. Folks, Mother Nature just handed us a late February gift. Step outside and you'll feel it immediately. Sunshine, mild air, and barely a whisper of wind. After the cold stretch we've been grinding through, this feels like a reward. Here's the deal. Temperatures are running 6 to 8 degrees above normal today. Along the coast, you're hitting 44 degrees. Central and Eastern Connecticut settle around 42 degrees. Not exactly flip flop territory, but for mid February? That's a win. Winds are practically nonexistent. Just 3 to 5 miles an hour. Air quality is solid too. If you're thinking coastal walk, the timing is perfect. Low tide hit at 6:17 this morning and comes back at 6:20 tonight. High tide peaks at just 2.3 feet around 11:51 this morning. Gentle stuff. Tonight, clear skies stick around but temperatures drop fast after sunset. Lows land in the upper 20s. Chilly, not brutal. A light north breeze keeps things calm. Tomorrow brings more of the same, just slightly cooler. Highs ease back to the upper 30s under partly cloudy skies. Still dry. Still pleasant. Here's your heads up for the week ahead. Monday stays mild before a weak system sneaks in Tuesday with a slight chance of rain or snow showers. Nothing dramatic. Temperatures cool a touch midweek, then rebound back to the 40s by Thursday and Friday. No storms lurking. No surprises. One more thing worth celebrating. We're gaining 2 minutes and 41 seconds of daylight every single day now. Sunrise was 6:39 this morning. Sunset stretches to 5:32 tonight. You'll want to soak up that extra evening light while you can. If this forecast helped you plan your Saturday, share it with a neighbor. It really does help us grow. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Stay safe out there!

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly, and welcome to the Connecticut Weather Podcast. It's Saturday, February 19th. Folks, winter is being polite today. No tantrums. No drama. Just a clean, crisp Saturday that feels like February finally read the room. Step outside and you'll feel 30 degrees along the coast. Head inland to central Connecticut and it drops to 28. Eastern Connecticut splits the difference at 29 degrees with a few extra clouds hanging around. Here's the thing. Winds are barely a whisper at 2 miles an hour. No face stinging gusts. No trash cans rolling down the driveway. Highs stay in the upper 20s to near 30 degrees. That's about 8 degrees below normal, but after the deep freezes we've survived this winter? This almost feels like a gift. Tonight you're looking at upper teens to low 20s. Air quality is excellent, so if you bundle up, it's a gorgeous night for stargazing. Low tide hits at 6:20 tonight near New London. Those wide open sandy stretches are perfect for a brisk walk if you're brave enough. Tomorrow brings more of the same. Sunny skies. Highs in the low 30s. Quiet and steady. Here's your heads up for the week ahead. We're in a holding pattern. No storms. No wild swings. Just a slow climb toward the upper 30s by midweek, which honestly feels almost spring like compared to where we've been. And you'll want to notice the daylight stretching out. We're gaining nearly 3 minutes a day now. Sunrise this morning was 6:39. Sunset at 5:32. Those late afternoon golden hours are getting noticeably longer. So. If this podcast helps you plan your weekend, share it with a neighbor who could use the heads up. Stay safe out there. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care!

Good evening, folks! I'm Aaron Jolly, and this's the Connecticut Weather Podcast for Friday, February 19th. Here's the deal. A late winter storm is sliding into Connecticut tonight, and it's picking favorites. The eastern half of the state is about to get soaked. The coast? A little less so. Let me walk you through it. Start along the shoreline. You're sitting at 36 degrees with a raw northeast wind at 9 miles an hour. Rain mixed with wet snow is likely later, but accumulations stay light. Tonight dips to the mid 30s. Damp and chilly, but nothing dramatic. Now head inland toward Hartford. Same 36 degrees, but here's where it gets slippery. Rain mixing with wet snow is almost certain. Roads could get greasy by evening, so if you're heading out for dinner, take it slow. Lows tonight settle into the low 30s. Drive east toward Norwich and New London, and you've hit the bullseye. Already 39 degrees with steady east winds pushing in rain that's practically guaranteed. Near certain precipitation all day. Highs barely budge. Tonight stays damp and oddly mild in the upper 30s. If you're near New London, watch for a high tide of 2.7 feet just before midnight. Here's your heads up for the week ahead. Saturday morning the storm clears out and leaves behind a breezy, brighter day. Highs near 40 degrees. Enjoy it, because Sunday turns sharply colder. Highs struggle to hit freezing. Early next week stays chilly but dry. And one bright spot? We gained 2 minutes and 41 seconds of daylight today. Every little bit counts in February. One more thing. If this forecast helped you plan your Friday night, share us with a friend. Word of mouth keeps this thing going. Bundle up if you're heading out. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care!

Good evening, folks! I'm Aaron Jolly, and this's the Connecticut Weather Podcast for Friday, February 23rd. Here's the deal. A late winter storm is sliding in tonight, and it's bringing the kind of soggy mess that makes you grateful for a couch and a blanket. Rain, wind, and puddles deep enough to swallow your shoes. That's what you're looking at this weekend. Let's take a drive through the state. Down along the coast, you're sitting at 36 degrees with northeast winds around 9 miles an hour. Rain is likely, and here's the thing. High tide rolls in at 11:06 A.M. at two and a half feet. That could mean minor splash over along the shoreline. If you're anywhere near the water, keep your distance. Head inland to central Connecticut and it's the same 36 degrees. But rain coverage jumps way up. Nearly everyone gets wet here. Winds are gentler, just 6 miles an hour. Still, expect a soggy day with puddles sticking around overnight. Now swing east. Eastern Connecticut is actually the warmest spot at 39 degrees. Don't let that fool you. East winds at 7 to 10 miles an hour are pushing in near certain rain. One bright spot? Air quality is excellent. So between showers, you'll want to step out and grab a breath of that clean winter air. Here's your heads up for the week ahead. Rain lingers into Saturday, especially along the coast. Highs stay in the upper 30s, right around normal for late February. Sunday dries out but clouds hang on like a guest who won't leave. The workweek starts quiet with temperatures hovering near normal. No big swings either direction. And we're gaining nearly 3 minutes of daylight each day. Spring is creeping closer. One more thing. If you're enjoying these daily updates, share us with a friend who hates getting caught in the rain unprepared. Bundle up and stay dry out there. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly, and you're listening to the 6 AM Connecticut Weather Podcast. It's Friday, February 16th. Folks, step outside right now and you'll feel it immediately. That rain isn't just falling. It's seeping into everything. The kind of wet that finds your collar and doesn't let go. Here's the deal. Along the coast, you're sitting at 38 degrees with a steady east wind pushing 6 to 10 miles an hour. Head over to eastern Connecticut and it's a touch warmer at 39 degrees. Same damp breeze though. Central Connecticut? Holding at 36 degrees with lighter northeast winds. Just enough to make that rain feel like it's personally targeting you. But here's the thing. This rain has a short attention span. By midday it fizzles out, leaving behind a raw, clammy afternoon. Highs barely scratch the upper 30s. Think of today as winter's last soggy handshake before the weekend rescues us. And what a rescue it's. Saturday dries out with sunshine and highs near 40 degrees. Sunday gets even better. Brighter skies, mid 40s. Perfect for a late winter walk. Air quality sits in the good range today too, so your lungs will thank you. Quick bonus for the coast lovers. Low tide at New London hits 5:33 PM, right around sunset at 5:30. Extra shoreline and golden light. Not bad for February. Here's your heads up for the week ahead. This wet start vanishes fast. You're looking at a stretch of dry, seasonable days. Highs in the 40s, lows in the 20s. No nor'easters lurking. No coastal flooding drama. Just a steady, quiet march toward spring. And we're gaining two minutes and 41 seconds of daylight every single day now. Sunrise at 6:40 this morning already feels a little less brutal. So. If this podcast helped you plan your Friday, share it with someone who hates weather surprises. We all know that person. I'll be back at 9 AM with a fresh look at that weekend sunshine. Stay dry out there!
