  • Connecticut Weather March 5 Morning - Winter Weather Advisory

    Connecticut Weather March 5 Morning - Winter Weather Advisory
    Mar 5 2026
    Good morning. Connecticut. I'm Aaron Jolly. That gray blanket overhead? It's about to open up. In the next 24 hours. We're sitting at 31 degrees right now with patchy fog hugging the low spots. That fog clears by mid-morning. Just in time for rain to take over. The coast gets hit first. Rain rolls in around 7 A.M. — steady, soaking stuff that sticks around all day. You'll top out near 40 degrees. Central Connecticut stays dry until 9 A.M., then the rain finds you too, with highs near 38. Eastern Connecticut sees rain by 8 A.M. and climbs to 41. Tonight's when it really dumps. Three quarters of an inch to a full inch in spots. Lows drop to 32 to 34 statewide. Northeast winds gust to 20 miles an hour along the shore. That damp chill will sneak right through your jacket. Friday, the rain eases to drizzle by afternoon. Highs hover in the upper 30s to low 40s — about 26 degrees cooler than normal for early March. Then the pattern flips hard. Saturday jumps to 50. Sunday and Monday? Mid 50s to near 60. By Tuesday, we could kiss the low 60s with some sun breaking through. That's a 26 degrees-degree swing in four days. On this day in 2018, a nor'easter knocked out power to 350,000 homes with 70 mile per hour gusts. Today's rain is nothing like that — just wet and annoying. In Sunrise hits at 6, 21, sunset at 5:46. We're gaining nearly three minutes of daylight every day now. Spring equinox is just two weeks out. Keep the umbrella handy today. You're going to need it. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

  • Connecticut Weather March 4 Evening - 26° Below Normal

    Connecticut Weather March 4 Evening - 26° Below Normal
    Mar 4 2026
    Good evening. Connecticut. I'm Aaron Jolly. That dusting yesterday? Just four-tenths of an inch. But enjoy the quiet. Because a mess is brewing. In the next 24 hours. Tonight, fog rolls in as temperatures drop into the upper 20s. Watch for black ice Thursday morning, especially inland. Thursday's story is rain. It arrives by mid-morning statewide. Coastal Connecticut hits 41 degrees with steady rain through the day. Central Connecticut stays colder at 38 — and here's the catch: between 26 degrees and 10 A.M., freezing rain could mix in before temperatures climb. Eastern Connecticut sees rain likely by late morning, also reaching 41. Thursday night into Friday morning. That's when it gets tricky. Rain changes to a mix of freezing rain, sleet, even some snow inland. A Winter Weather Advisory kicks in at 5 P.M. Thursday for Litchfield County through noon Friday. Up to a quarter-inch of ice could coat trees and power lines in the hills. Roads turn slick everywhere as temperatures hover near freezing. Friday, the precipitation tapers off by midday. But clouds hang tough. Highs only in the upper 30s to low 40s — about 26 degrees below normal for early March. In Here's your heads-up for week ahead, after this wintry mess, a major pattern shift. Saturday brings clouds and highs near 50. Sunday? Partly sunny and 55. Monday and Tuesday, sunny skies with highs pushing 60 degrees inland. Spring is knocking. Tonight's full moon rises at sunset. And we're gaining nearly three minutes of daylight each day now — the spring equinox is just two weeks away. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

  • Connecticut Weather March 4 Midday - 20° Above Normal

    Connecticut Weather March 4 Midday - 20° Above Normal
    Mar 4 2026
    Good afternoon. Connecticut. I'm Aaron Jolly. That dusting of snow overnight is already history. Fog hugged the ground early, but it's lifting fast. We're looking at a pleasant afternoon with sun punching through the clouds. Highs settle right where they should be — 45 degrees along the coast, 46 in central Connecticut. And 48 out east. In the next 24 hours. Tonight is where the plot thickens. Temperatures take a nosedive after sunset. You'll drop to 27 at the shore, 25 inland. And 26 in eastern Connecticut. Patchy fog creeps back in after 10 P.M. Here's the catch — a slight chance of freezing rain mixes in toward dawn, especially in those valley spots where cold air likes to hide. Thursday brings the real mess. Rain spreads statewide by mid-morning. It peaks around 1 P.M. Coastal Connecticut could see up to an inch. Central areas get a messy mix — rain changing to sleet Thursday night with a half-inch to three-quarters of an inch total. Eastern Connecticut stays mostly rain. Highs only reach 41 degrees. Friday stays damp and chilly with lingering showers before we finally dry out. Then comes the reward. A serious warm-up takes over. Saturday climbs near 50. Sunday hits 55. Monday and Tuesday? We're talking 60 to 66 degrees. That's a solid 25 degrees to 20 degrees above normal for early March. Full moon tonight if the fog cooperates. Plus, we're gaining nearly three minutes of daylight every day. Spring equinox is just two weeks away. Keep an eye on those driveways tonight. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.
