A few rounds of storms tomorrow. Both commutes will be affected along with outdoor plans. Poor drainage flooding and strong storms are possible, an isolated tornado cannot be ruled out #CTwx #Connecticut

Welcomed rain this week could also re-energize some of the waterfalls, at least temporarily. Might make for some good foliage pics in areas that are turning!

Evening Eagle. This Eagle was kind enough to confirm that there were, in fact, fish in the river even though I had been fishing for some time with no luck. He made it look easy. #birds #ctnaturefans #photography

More snow early tomorrow followed up by a gray, chilly, raw day. Not ideal if you wanted to hang out outdoors. Sunday looks a little better!

Snow tonight with accumulation possible in the high elevations of CT. We do it again again late tomorrow night into Saturday morning, which is another First Alert Weather Day! Very chilly and gloomy to begin the weekend

Another messy weekend… First Alert Weather Days both Saturday and Sunday as snow gives way to an icy mix. Cold & wind will bring wind chill values near zero at times early next week

Snow is back this weekend. Up to 10” possible in parts of CT away from the Sound. We first alerted you to this earlier in the week — stick with us as the storm moves through

Sleet pings, freezing rain clings resulting in scenes like this. A solid layer of ice building up on my car in central CT as freezing rain/drizzle continues

We began 2025 and January with a round of rain and we will end it the same. Still, January will end up being much drier than average
