Connecticut Weather: Thanksgiving Week Forecast Details

If you're planning on traveling this holiday week there's good news in the weather forecast. Outside of a chance of some rain showers on Wednesday, the forecast looks tranquil. There had been talk of a possible snowstorm prior to Thanksgiving but that isn't happening now. Some areas in northern Connecticut received a coating of snow this morning, which made travel slippery this morning.

The only complaint about this holiday week forecast is that it could be a bit warmer. WTNH News 8 Meteorologist Gil Simmons said, "A cold wind all day today. Highs 40-45 but feeling like 20s & 30s with the wind. Other than some rain Wednesday morning it looks quiet!"

Fox 61 Meteorologist Matt Scott said, "A little slippery out there in a few places, thanks to some lake effect snow bands that held together. We've got a few accidents out there as a result, including tie-ups on 91 and 84. BE CAREFUL THIS MORNING. The few snowflakes/raindrops end this morning, followed by partly cloudy skies and cool conditions. HIghs in the 40s won't feel that warm, thanks to a gusty W wind. Warmer for Tuesday, but early Wednesday brings rain early. It shouldn't affect travel. Thanksgiving looks Sunny, as does Black Friday."
