    Connecticut Weather: 02-22-2026
    Feb 22 2026
    Good evening! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Connecticut Weather Podcast for Sunday, February 22nd. Folks, this is the one. The storm we'll be telling stories about. Right now it's deceptively calm. A few flurries, 33 degrees, light northeast breeze. Enjoy it. By 5 P.M., snow starts falling. By tonight, we're in a full blizzard. The National Weather Service is calling this historic. And they're not being dramatic. Let's take a trip across the state. Down along the coast, snow ramps up hard by 10 P.M. You're talking one to two inches an hour. Gusts hitting 47 miles an hour. By morning, 11 to 17 inches on the ground. Temperatures actually rise overnight from 27 degrees at 8 P.M. To near 30 by dawn, but wind chills will make it feel like 12 degrees. And if you're near the shoreline in New London County, moderate coastal flooding hits between midnight and 5 A.M. Move your car to higher ground tonight. Over in central Connecticut, snow holds off until after 4 A.M. Monday. Then it drops 7 to 11 inches with gusts near 49 miles an hour. The real gut punch? Temperatures crash to 9 degrees by Tuesday morning. That's a 40 degree swing in 24 hours. Eastern Connecticut catches the worst of it. Snow starts by 5 P.M. And doesn't quit. Up to 17 inches possible with gusts reaching 53 miles an hour. Whiteout conditions. Zero visibility. Stay home. This is a triple threat. Heavy snow, damaging winds, coastal flooding. Travel should be emergencies only tonight through Monday. Now the week ahead tells quite a story. Tuesday stays bitter, highs barely cracking 30 degrees with black ice lurking everywhere. Wednesday warms to the upper 30s but brings a messy wintry mix. Thursday and Friday hover in the low 40s with more rain and snow chances. Then Saturday finally delivers sunshine and mid 40s. You'll earn that one. Charge your phones, fill the bathtub, check on your neighbors tonight. This storm demands respect. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care!

    Feb 22 2026
    Good afternoon! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Connecticut Weather Podcast. It's Sunday, February 22nd. And folks, I'm not going to sugarcoat this. A historic blizzard is bearing down on Connecticut right now. And by tomorrow morning, you won't recognize your neighborhood. Right now you're at 33 degrees under gray skies. Feels calm. Almost peaceful. That changes fast. Snow starts along the coast near 4 PM and spreads inland by evening. By dinnertime, winds are howling at 40 miles an hour. If you're not home yet, get there now. Tonight is when this storm turns violent. Snowfall rates hit two to three inches per hour. Winds explode to 60 miles an hour. Visibility drops to zero. This is a textbook blizzard. And it will rage all night long. Now let me walk you through what your town is facing. Down along the coast, New London through Groton, you're looking at 10 to 16 inches with gusts to 46 miles an hour. Coastal flooding hits at high tide Monday around 12:42 PM. Up to two and a half feet of storm surge. Don't drive through floodwater. Slide inland to Hartford and central Connecticut. Snow arrives by 7 PM, heavy by 11. You're getting 9 to 17 inches total with 49 mile an hour gusts. Eastern Connecticut gets hammered hardest. Up to 17 inches tonight alone, with another foot possible Monday. Wind gusts reaching 53 miles an hour will snap trees and drop power lines. Wind chills plummet to minus 10. Charge every device you own. Fill your bathtubs. Have a backup heat source ready. Travel bans are coming tonight. Stay home. Looking past the storm, Tuesday brings bitter cold and sunshine. Wednesday flirts with 39 degrees and light snow. Thursday and Friday warm into the low 40s, but rain mixing with snowmelt means flooding risk. Saturday finally gives you sunshine near 42 degrees to start digging out. I'll be tracking this storm all night. Take care of each other tonight. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

    Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly, and welcome to the Connecticut Weather Podcast. It's Sunday, February 22nd. Folks, I'm not going to sugarcoat this. A monster nor'easter is bearing down on us right now. This is the kind of storm people remember for decades. Snow's already flying, and what's coming next is genuinely dangerous. Here's what's happening. A bomb cyclone is forming off the coast. Pressure is cratering from 1005 millibars to around 965 in just 24 hours. That's the atmosphere throwing a tantrum. Let's start along the shoreline. Coastal towns from Fairfield to New London? You're looking at blizzard conditions tonight. Winds will howl to 32 miles an hour with gusts near 50. Snowfall rates hit 2 to 4 inches per hour at the peak. Total accumulation? 19 to 29 inches. On top of that, a coastal flood warning kicks in at midnight. Expect a foot and a half to two and a half feet of water inundation near the shore. Don't drive through floodwaters. Period. Head inland to Hartford and the central corridor. You're catching 9 to 17 inches total with gusts reaching 49 miles an hour Monday. Roads will be impassable. If you absolutely must travel, pack blankets, water, and food in your car. Now the eastern side of the state gets hammered hardest. 22 to 34 inches. Yes, potentially close to three feet. Wind chills plunge to 16 degrees. Power outages are almost certain, and crews can't restore service until the wind dies down. Charge your phones now. Stock up on water and medications. Check on your neighbors, especially anyone elderly or living alone. Air quality sits at moderate, so take breaks if you're shoveling with respiratory issues. The week ahead does get better. Tuesday brings sunshine but bitter cold, highs barely touching 30 degrees. Wednesday warms near 40 with a chance of light snow or rain. Thursday and Friday stay unsettled in the low 40s. Saturday finally delivers a gorgeous, mostly sunny day. Perfect for tackling those snow mountains. One quick thing. If this podcast helps you stay prepared, share it with a neighbor. Storms like this are when community matters most. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Stay safe tonight, folks. This one's serious.

    Connecticut Weather: 02-21-2026
    Feb 21 2026
    Good evening! I'm Aaron Jolly, and welcome to the Connecticut Weather Podcast for Saturday, February 21st. Folks, enjoy tonight's calm. Seriously. Soak it in. Because a monster nor'easter is barreling toward us, and by tomorrow afternoon, Connecticut transforms into a snow globe someone shook way too hard. Right now you're sitting at 41 degrees. That's 8 degrees above normal. Mild, quiet, almost suspicious. Here's the deal. First flakes arrive between 6 and 7 tonight along the coast, then spread inland. By midnight, it's all snow. Lows drop to the upper 20s. Sunday is when this thing explodes. Snow falls at 1 to 3 inches an hour. Winds crank to 35, maybe 55 miles an hour along the coast. Southeastern Connecticut could see gusts near 46 degrees. That's blizzard territory. Visibility drops to zero. Travel becomes flat out dangerous. Now the totals. Down along the coast from Stamford to New London, you're looking at 9 to 13 inches, maybe 15 in spots. Hartford and central Connecticut, same range. Head east toward Norwich and Putnam, 8 to 12 inches, with the far southeast corner potentially buried under 17. Here's what keeps me up at night. Coastal flooding. A 2 to 3 foot storm surge hits during Monday's early morning high tide, around 11 degrees to 11 degrees A.M. New London and Middlesex counties face moderate flooding. Move vehicles to higher ground if you're near the shoreline. Blizzard and winter storm warnings are posted statewide. You'll want to prep tonight. Flashlights, batteries, backup heat. This heavy wet snow plus those winds means power outages are likely. If you've Sunday travel plans, cancel them. Here's your heads up for the week ahead. Monday the snow tapers but winds gust to 45 miles an hour. Highs barely crack 30 degrees. Tuesday brings sunshine but brutal cold, teens and single digits overnight. Wednesday flirts with light snow again. Thursday and Friday warm into the low 40s with rain and snow showers mixed in. One more thing. If this podcast helps you prep for storms like this, share it with a neighbor. We're all in this together. Stay safe out there, folks. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

    Good evening! I'm Aaron Jolly, and this's the Connecticut Weather Podcast for Saturday, February 21st. Folks, I need you to listen closely tonight. A historic blizzard is bearing down on Connecticut. Today felt almost springlike. Highs hit 46 degrees along the coast, eight degrees above normal. Enjoy that memory. It's about to get buried. Here's the deal. That half inch of snow overnight? Just the appetizer. The National Weather Service is throwing around words like "life threatening" and "treacherous." They don't do that lightly. Down along the coast, rain and snow mix moves in around 7 tonight. By Sunday night, heavy snow and wind gusts to 44 miles an hour create near zero visibility. We're talking 10 to 14 inches by Monday. If you're near New London, expect moderate coastal flooding. A foot and a half to two and a half feet of water in low spots. Roads will vanish. Head inland to central Connecticut and you'll want to watch for light snow starting around 9 tonight. Sunday night is when it gets brutal. Four to eight inches with gusts to 39 miles an hour. Blizzard warnings here too. Wet, heavy snow means snapped branches and likely power outages. Monday's high barely crawls to 33 degrees. Wind chills in the teens. Eastern Connecticut gets hammered hardest. Snow starts between 6 and 9 tonight. Eight to twelve inches pile up by Monday with gusts to 46 miles an hour. Monday's 35 degrees will feel like 16. That's frostbite cold, folks. Here's your heads up for the week ahead. Monday night the snow finally quits, but lows crash to 16 degrees inland. Wind chills near zero. Everything refreezes solid. Wednesday brings a brief thaw near 38 degrees with another chance of light snow. Thursday and Friday we slowly climb into the low 40s, but snowmelt flooding becomes the next headache. Stock up tonight. Charge everything. don't drive Sunday night or Monday. One more thing. If this podcast helps you stay prepared, share it with a neighbor. Storms like this are why we do this. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Stay safe out there.

    Good afternoon! I'm Aaron Jolly, and welcome to the Connecticut Weather Podcast. It's Saturday, February 19th. Folks, Mother Nature just handed us a late February gift. Step outside and you'll feel it immediately. Sunshine, mild air, and barely a whisper of wind. After the cold stretch we've been grinding through, this feels like a reward. Here's the deal. Temperatures are running 6 to 8 degrees above normal today. Along the coast, you're hitting 44 degrees. Central and Eastern Connecticut settle around 42 degrees. Not exactly flip flop territory, but for mid February? That's a win. Winds are practically nonexistent. Just 3 to 5 miles an hour. Air quality is solid too. If you're thinking coastal walk, the timing is perfect. Low tide hit at 6:17 this morning and comes back at 6:20 tonight. High tide peaks at just 2.3 feet around 11:51 this morning. Gentle stuff. Tonight, clear skies stick around but temperatures drop fast after sunset. Lows land in the upper 20s. Chilly, not brutal. A light north breeze keeps things calm. Tomorrow brings more of the same, just slightly cooler. Highs ease back to the upper 30s under partly cloudy skies. Still dry. Still pleasant. Here's your heads up for the week ahead. Monday stays mild before a weak system sneaks in Tuesday with a slight chance of rain or snow showers. Nothing dramatic. Temperatures cool a touch midweek, then rebound back to the 40s by Thursday and Friday. No storms lurking. No surprises. One more thing worth celebrating. We're gaining 2 minutes and 41 seconds of daylight every single day now. Sunrise was 6:39 this morning. Sunset stretches to 5:32 tonight. You'll want to soak up that extra evening light while you can. If this forecast helped you plan your Saturday, share it with a neighbor. It really does help us grow. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Stay safe out there!

    Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly, and welcome to the Connecticut Weather Podcast. It's Saturday, February 19th. Folks, winter is being polite today. No tantrums. No drama. Just a clean, crisp Saturday that feels like February finally read the room. Step outside and you'll feel 30 degrees along the coast. Head inland to central Connecticut and it drops to 28. Eastern Connecticut splits the difference at 29 degrees with a few extra clouds hanging around. Here's the thing. Winds are barely a whisper at 2 miles an hour. No face stinging gusts. No trash cans rolling down the driveway. Highs stay in the upper 20s to near 30 degrees. That's about 8 degrees below normal, but after the deep freezes we've survived this winter? This almost feels like a gift. Tonight you're looking at upper teens to low 20s. Air quality is excellent, so if you bundle up, it's a gorgeous night for stargazing. Low tide hits at 6:20 tonight near New London. Those wide open sandy stretches are perfect for a brisk walk if you're brave enough. Tomorrow brings more of the same. Sunny skies. Highs in the low 30s. Quiet and steady. Here's your heads up for the week ahead. We're in a holding pattern. No storms. No wild swings. Just a slow climb toward the upper 30s by midweek, which honestly feels almost spring like compared to where we've been. And you'll want to notice the daylight stretching out. We're gaining nearly 3 minutes a day now. Sunrise this morning was 6:39. Sunset at 5:32. Those late afternoon golden hours are getting noticeably longer. So. If this podcast helps you plan your weekend, share it with a neighbor who could use the heads up. Stay safe out there. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care!

    Connecticut Weather: 02-20-2026
    Feb 20 2026
    Good evening, folks! I'm Aaron Jolly, and this's the Connecticut Weather Podcast for Friday, February 19th. Here's the deal. A late winter storm is sliding into Connecticut tonight, and it's picking favorites. The eastern half of the state is about to get soaked. The coast? A little less so. Let me walk you through it. Start along the shoreline. You're sitting at 36 degrees with a raw northeast wind at 9 miles an hour. Rain mixed with wet snow is likely later, but accumulations stay light. Tonight dips to the mid 30s. Damp and chilly, but nothing dramatic. Now head inland toward Hartford. Same 36 degrees, but here's where it gets slippery. Rain mixing with wet snow is almost certain. Roads could get greasy by evening, so if you're heading out for dinner, take it slow. Lows tonight settle into the low 30s. Drive east toward Norwich and New London, and you've hit the bullseye. Already 39 degrees with steady east winds pushing in rain that's practically guaranteed. Near certain precipitation all day. Highs barely budge. Tonight stays damp and oddly mild in the upper 30s. If you're near New London, watch for a high tide of 2.7 feet just before midnight. Here's your heads up for the week ahead. Saturday morning the storm clears out and leaves behind a breezy, brighter day. Highs near 40 degrees. Enjoy it, because Sunday turns sharply colder. Highs struggle to hit freezing. Early next week stays chilly but dry. And one bright spot? We gained 2 minutes and 41 seconds of daylight today. Every little bit counts in February. One more thing. If this forecast helped you plan your Friday night, share us with a friend. Word of mouth keeps this thing going. Bundle up if you're heading out. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care!
