CONNECTICUT, USA — Sunday won't start out nearly as cold as Saturday, though low temperatures will be below average. Temperatures Saturday morning were as low as -10 in Bakerville and -8 in North Canaan!
Lows overnight will be in the 10s for most, near 20 at the shoreline.
Sunday will be a cloudier day. Afternoon high temperatures will make it to around or just above freezing in most of the area.
A weak clipper system approaches Sunday evening. It's moisture-starved but will bring a few flurries or snow showers during the evening and first part of Sunday night.
Sunshine returns Monday with high temperatures either side of 30.
Clouds will increase Monday evening ahead of a warm front. Snow showers are likely to develop Monday night ahead of this front. We're not expecting anything heavy, but temperatures will be below freezing, so a coating of snow is possible, especially in northern Connecticut.
Behind this system, a reinforcing shot of cold builds in for Wednesday and Thursday. We could again have low temperatures in the single digits Thursday morning.
As that shot of cold begins to depart, a storm looks like it will form on the eastern seaboard late next week. Right now, most of the guidance suggests this storm will take an offshore track next weekend, but given it's a week away it is worth keeping an eye on.
