Tuesday weather

2 weeks ago | nbcconnecticut.com | Anthony Carpino

We're starting off this morning with mostly clear skies but the clouds are expected to quickly take over by midday and through the afternoon. Temperatures today are expected to warm into the low to mid 60s with a light northerly breeze. The risk for rain will go up starting Wednesday afternoon and evening. The heaviest rain arrives on Thursday along with cooler temperatures. Conditions look to improve for the holiday weekend.

Good morning! We have patchy fog this morning with mild and muggy conditions. Fog will burn off later this morning with a mix of sun and clouds. Things will remain humid with temps reaching the low 80s this afternoon. The risk for a few thunderstorms will go up after midday through tonight. Overall risk for severe weather remains low. But an isolated stronger thunderstorm isn't out of the question later on this evening. We'll lose the humidity for Sunday with cooler temps in the lower 70s.

Northern Lights seen across Connecticut

2 months ago | nbcconnecticut.com | Anthony Carpino

The Northern Lights were once again visible in Connecticut, thanks to a solar storm that erupted from the sun's surface earlier in the week. The aurora will be visible through the early morning of Saturday with the best viewing time through 4 a.m. Unlike the aurora event of October 2024, you won't be able to see this with the naked eye, instead a long exposure camera will be needed. Look to the north and away from city lights. Your photos: Northern Lights visible across Connecticut

We'll cool back to the teens and 20s by Thursday morning. Our next system moves in by Friday with mostly rain expected.

You have one last chance to see the Northern Lights in Connecticut this year

Dec 30, 2024 | nbcconnecticut.com | Anthony Carpino

We have one last chance to see the Northern Lights in Connecticut before 2024 ends. Over the weekend, a Corona Mass Ejection sent plasma and other charged particles out from the Sun. SWPC Those particles are expected to reach Earth late Monday and early Tuesday morning. The peak of the event looks to occur after 3 a.m. It's possible the timeframe could change as satellites take in new data on the speed and location of those charged particles. A strong Geomagnetic storm looks possible.
Wintry mix may make for a slippery morning commute on Monday

Dec 15, 2024 | nbcconnecticut.com | Anthony Carpino

Our StormTracker meteorologists are tracking a wintry mix that could make for a slippery morning commute on Monday. For the rest of the weekend, we'll start with temps in the single digits to teens and 20s across the state. We'll see increased cloud cover for the afternoon with temperatures in the mid 30s. As we look to the new workweek, a wintry mix could make a slippery Monday morning commute. A light glaze of ice is possible with some locations also seeing a coating to an inch of snow.
Clear and cold weekend in CT; snow stays outside the state until next week

Nov 30, 2024 | nbcconnecticut.com | Anthony Carpino |Bryan Mercer

After a rainy Thanksgiving holiday, the weekend looks much clearer with sunny skies. The high temperatures won't be quite as comfortable, with many towns only getting into the upper 30s - maybe hitting 40 degrees. For early risers, you can expect the morning temperatures to be chilly, staying in the 20s. With the holiday weekend wrapping up, family members that are hitting the highway can expect clear travel conditions along I-95 and other main roads - at least here in Connecticut.
