Good Monday all
This is Thanksgiving week, and this is that last thing you want to hear for the big travel day before thanksgiving. It's my favorite words, but everyone else's least favorite
A Winter Storm Watch has been issued for the entirety of the region except the immediate shoreline, but I think even they'll get one this afternoon.
The ECMWF shifted east last night, so we finally have a pretty decent idea for accumulations. In the end, I think most of, if not all of Connecticut, is about to pick up six to twelve inches of snow, mostly Wednesday afternoon and evening.
Today, it will be warm but very wet, and it is really going to pour this AM dropping 0.5" to 1" of rain on everyone. The rain should be gone by about noon though, and it wouldn't surprise me if someone hit 70 degrees today! Tomorrow, though, we trend colder before the big hammer drops Wednesday. Here's what I'm thinking.
Wednesday morning we'll wake up to mostly cloudy skies.
Rain or a wintry mix (depending on how far north you are) develops at around noon
By 3-4 PM, the mix changes to a heavy wet snow.
It snows extremely hard all night and into the morning on Thursday.
Snow comes to an end 9-10 AM Thursday morning from northwest to southeast.
All in all, be ready to shovel, plow, and the whole deal. A major nor'easter is coming, it's no longer a hypothetical. It will happen. My call is 6-12" north of exit 9, with 4-7" south of that.
Enjoy the snow, but please change travel plans Wednesday, especially the afternoon. You'll be snowed in if you don't and spending thanksgiving on your own!
