A weak clipper-type system will fly out to sea to our south tonight and early tomorrow. Snow showers will occur in PA, NJ, DE, and MD. Lake effect snow continues to pile up in New York state. This system will turn into a strengthening low pressure center over the ocean and draw colder air and increasing winds for tomorrow. Gusts to 30 mph and feels like in the teens to around 20 will make it feel pretty cold and it will last into Sunday.

We've been telling you about the chance of a snowstorm, but those chances still remain low at the moment. That said, we could get a glancing blow of light snow in southwest Connecticut on Monday. Things could still change, so we encourage you to stay with us for the latest!
Recapping 2024, the Hartford area experienced its warmest year on record. Weather records for the Hartford area date back to 1905. In 2024, the average temperature at Bradley Int'l Airport was 55 degrees, 4 degrees above average and more than a degree warmer than the previous record.
You'll note that the top five warmest years on record have all occurred since 2010. This is not something new, as our climate has been warming. In fact, our winters have been warming the fastest compared to other seasons. Winter has warmed more than 5 degrees since 1970, which ties into us getting less and less snow.
