Major Temperature Change Coming To CT: Here's What To Know

Much warmer weather is coming to Connecticut in the week ahead, according to meteorologists.

The National Weather Service in New York predicts a warm up today and through the weekend, with highs in the 60s.

“A more noticeable warmup then begins on Monday with well-above normal high temperatures through late in the week,” the National Weather Service reports.

WFSB reports today will be mild, with temperatures reaching between 60 and 70 inland and 55-60 at the shore.

“Toward and after sunset, cloud cover increases in advance of a cold front. Tonight, isolated to scattered showers are possible as it moves through the region,” WFSB reports.

The National Weather Service anticipates daytime highs for Saturday will be around 60 degrees, and for Sunday, it will get into the upper 50s.

“The upcoming weekend is looking pretty good!” WFSB reports. “In the wake of that cold front that clears CT before dawn Saturday, it will be a bit breezy and we’ll see plenty of sunshine. Temps top out in the upper 50s inland and along the shoreline, thanks to the offshore wind direction.”

WFSB anticipates Sunday will be sunny to start, followed by increasing clouds, with temperatures in the mid to upper 50s. A warm front could bring isolated showers after sunset, the station reports.

Early next week will be even warmer, with highs Monday in the 70s, followed by temperatures possibly in the 80s on Tuesday and Wednesday, according to the National Weather Service.

“Tuesday, the 14th, is when our average high for the Hartford Area goes to 60,” WFSB reports. “However, we’re forecasting highs 20° (+) above, as we could top out near/above 80 inland! Meanwhile, along the shoreline highs will be in the 70s. We’ll likely see a blend of sun and clouds, at times more clouds than sunshine.”
