Good morning everybody, and Happy Thanksgiving! I’m dispensing with the normal format for today, as this will be a brief update as I have tons of vegetable chopping, slicing, and dicing to do, which I absolutely love to do! #KnifeSkills
I hope you’re able to enjoy the day with friends and family, if you’re by yourself (which I’ve done many times), I hope you do something you love or are interested in and have a nice meal.
To have shelter and heat and food at this time of the year is something to truly be thankful for, in and of itself, and if you have friends and family you’re sharing that with, in my experience, all the better.
As for our weather, I will digitally bedazzle your screens and eyes with enough double–dashes to tell the tale of our anticipated weather over the next 7 days, so with onions and carrots that need peeling, potatoes that need wedging, and veg that needs roasting, so let us skim!
–High pressure over New England this morning will ensure mostly sunny skies with highs in the low to mid 40s, maybe a few upper 40s in northern CT
–Said high tracks southeast and puts us in a “mildening” southwest flow which will kick breezes up overnight with gusts to 20mph. Lows near freezing.
–For Friday, we cloud up early with scattered showers moving into the region for mid to late morning and departing likely by sunset. Highs mid to upper 40s
–This is associated with a cold front that won’t be a big rain producer, at all, some may even stay dry tomorrow, but southwest winds ahead of the front should gust up to 30mph
–Wind switches back to the west-northwest behind the front and continues to gust to 30mph, with lows in the upper 20s as we dry out at night
–Saturday is the pick of the weekend with sunshine and highs in the 40s with lows near freezing
–Southwest flow returns (seesaw between NW and SW flow) for Sunday as we cloud back up, with more substantial rain moving in for afternoon and the overnight period
–Highs Sunday will reach the upper 40s to low 50s with lows near freezing with a rainy night that may produce over half an inch of rainfall, up to an inch
–Monday and Tuesday look like fair weather dominates with highs roughly in the mid 40s to low 50s under partly sunny skies
–By Wednesday into Thursday a sharper cold front tied to a stronger storm that will pass north of us brings more rainfall, and possibly a sharper downturn to colder temps, but that level of cold may be delayed into the first week of December
I hope you have a great Thanksgiving!
