Good Monday all-
A WIND ADVISORY is issued for Hartford, Tolland, & Windham Counties.
It already appears that the forecast for tomorrow is quickly becoming a bit easier, as the models are now showing far less accumulation than they were yesterday. Thus, only 1-2" of snow is likely for everyone...and even that may be a bit generous, if new models are accurate. The problem? A different clipper is coming for Thursday night and Friday...and it may cause the 2-4" snowfall I was forecasting for tomorrow. If anyone is wondering, the next chance for a truly significant snowfall appears to be around Sunday/Monday next week.
The week ahead-
Today- Sunny, much colder than yesterday. Highs in the low 30s.
Tomorrow- Light snow developing with nothing to an inch or two of accumulation. Highs in the upper 20s.
Wednesday- Ice cold, absolutely frigid temps begin. Highs in the low 20s
Thursday- Perhaps the single coldest experience we've had in several years, if not our lifetimes. Lows near or below 0, with strong wind. Wind chill values could approach -25 or -30. BUNDLE UP!!! Highs near 12 or 13.
Friday- Snow possible on the order of 1-3". Temps a bit warmer in the mid 20s.
Saturday- Increasing clouds, temps in the 30s
Sunday- Watching a nor'easter for the afternoon or evening. Highs in the 30s.
Today in weather history- January 5, 1835- Somehow, New Haven drops to an actual air temperature of -23, which has to be their all time record low. For some reason, I'm a bit suspicious of that number, since it's nearly impossible to get it that low on the shoreline. Maybe it included the wind chill? If so, it'll likely be colder on Thursday.
