Good News In The Spring Forecast Just Released For Connecticut

CONNECTICUT – A long-term forecast of what spring has in store for Connecticut has been released by The Weather Channel – and it's good news.

The season is going to be warmer than usual, with temperatures particularly pleasant in April, the prediction says.

The forecaster released its three-month outlook for spring 2019 this week.

After a chilly start to March, temperatures are expected to trend above average in Connecticut as spring progresses and summer begins, according to The Weather Channel.

Here is The Weather Channel forecast for the next three months:

APRIL

April will see warmer-than-average temperatures. That won't be the case everywhere. The Southeast and much of the Midwest will be near average. The average daytime temperature in Connecticut in mid-April will be in the 60s.

We may not have to wait until next month to enjoy some mild weather.

While most of this week looks to bring temperatures in the 40s and 50s, we could see a high temperature reach 60 by Sunday, according to The National Weather Service.

MAY

The above-average temperatures are forecast to continue across portions of the Northeast, including Connecticut and New England. However, areas a bit farther south can anticipate near-average or slightly warmer than average conditions come May.

Average daytime temperatures in Connecticut in mid-May are in the 70s.

The May temperature outlook may be cooler than currently indicated due to above-average soil moisture in the Northeast, and if El Niño conditions persist, The Weather Channel says.

JUNE

The start to the meteorological summer is June 1, and initial predictions indicate we're in for near-average or slightly warmer temperatures in the Northeast. Average daytime local temperatures in June are in the low to mid 80s.

Heading into the summer, Weather Channel meteorologists say "climate model solutions are indicating warmer-than-normal summers in the Pacific Northwest and Northeast, with best chances for below-normal temperatures across the Plains."
