Connecticut Weather 3/6 Morning - 32° Below Normal


Listen Later

Good morning. Connecticut. I'm Aaron Jolly.
Fresh snow greeted you this morning. We picked up just under an inch overnight. And flakes are still falling as I record this. Step outside and you'll feel 34 degrees — that raw, damp cold that cuts right through your jacket.
The snow tapers off by mid-morning, but don't expect blue skies. Patchy fog rolls in as temperatures struggle to 41 degrees. That's 32 degrees below normal for early March. Along the coast, northeast winds gust to 20 miles an hour, keeping things raw all day. Inland Hartford sits at 33 degrees with a brisk north wind. Eastern Connecticut matches that at 33.
Here's the thing about today. It stays dreary. Cloudy skies stick around with areas of fog and maybe some drizzle. Tonight, lows drop to the low 30s statewide. Watch for patchy fog again. With temperatures right at freezing, isolated black ice could develop on untreated roads. Not the night to test your brakes.
Saturday brings a slight warm-up. Highs climb to the mid to upper 40s under cloudy skies. Morning fog lingers before clearing by late morning. Saturday night is when things get interesting. Rain showers move in after 7 P.M. Expect a 60 to 70 percent chance of rain overnight with lows in the low 40s.
Sunday starts wet with showers likely before 2 P.M., then skies gradually clear. Highs reach the mid to upper 50s — finally feeling like spring. That warming trend continues into next week. Monday brings sunshine and highs near 60 degrees. Tuesday pushes into the mid 60s with mostly sunny skies. Wednesday stays mild in the upper 50s, though rain chances return.
For the dreary day ahead. See you tomorrow.
