12/2- Active Pattern Begins Next Week, but Nice for Now

HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!

Well, it's a very nice day once again today, especially for December, with highs likely reaching the 50s with mostly sunny skies and light winds, so we should be golden for today. We drop the temperatures down by a significant amount tomorrow, however, and we will certainly be stuck in the 40s- likely the middle portion of that range. Sunday looks even cooler, and I would hedge a bet that some of the hill towns are stuck in the 30s, but we will have to see. Some complex setups could give us at least some snow next week, with a risk on three days- Monday (which would just be a few flurries here and there), Tuesday (where a complex storm system could drop several inches if everything comes together in a certain way) and Thursday (when a coastal storm forms just to our south). We certainly will be watching closely!

The odds of 1+" of snow in central CT per day are the following:

Monday- 5%
Tuesday- 25%
Thursday- 30%

Today in weather history- December 2, 1925- A bizarre late season tropical storm strikes western Florida, just south of Tampa Bay, before proceeding across the state and becoming a hurricane strength extratropical cyclone and striking the Outer Banks. 73 people are killed by the system- most of them offshore in ships caught off guard by the unusually late season storm.
