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!

FIRST ALERT WEATHER DAY SATURDAY! Parts of CT are already in a level 2 risk for severe weather. Strong wind gusts and hail will be possible under the strongest cells, while any storm will produce downpours and lightning

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!

Mike Slifer @mikesliferwx.bsky.social · 10/04/2025

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

The Space Weather Prediction Center has issued a G2 magnetic storm watch for tomorrow! There's a chance we might be able to see the Northern Lights locally, weather permitting. Long exposure photography would be the best bet tomorrow night #ctwx #aurora

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

Mike Slifer @mikesliferwx.bsky.social · 06/02/2025

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

Watching the Connecticut episode of Aerial America. Again. And still learning new facts about my state!

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

Florida — shattering records — has almost gotten as much snow from one storm as we have seen all season (for the Hartford Area).

110

Mike Slifer @mikesliferwx.bsky.social · 21/01/2025

Our low temp for the Hartford Area was -2°F. The last time temperatures dipped below zero in the Hartford Area was February 4, 2023 (almost two years ago) when the temperature fell to -9°F

A lot to cover ahead on @wfsb.com at 11 regarding rain tomorrow, Winter Storm Albatross Sunday and the string of First Alert Weather Days next week

010

Mike Slifer @mikesliferwx.bsky.social · 17/01/2025

Our first widespread snow of the season arrives Sunday. Winter Storm Albatross begins Sunday PM and wraps up before sunrise on Monday. A widespread 6-8” expected inland with isolated totals up to 10”. Totals will be closer to the 4-6” range along the shoreline. Details all weekend on @wfsb.com

FIRST ALERT WEATHER DAY: Snow arrives Sunday afternoon/evening and wraps up early Monday morning.

Mike Slifer @mikesliferwx.bsky.social · 17/01/2025

What a stretch of weather incoming! The chance for some plowable snow followed by the coldest air of the season so far. A lot to watch over the next couple days

010

Mike Slifer @mikesliferwx.bsky.social · 15/01/2025

Pretty impressive how the warm start to January has kept our average temperature (so far) quite above average. Also, not much snow so far this month, or this season. We cross the halfway point of January later this week, plenty of time for things to change!

010

Mike Slifer @mikesliferwx.bsky.social · 14/01/2025

Been watching the ensemble trends for the last few days as we approach the end of January. With a possible flip to a +NAO/-PNA, and a weak La Niña in place, could bring milder conditions heading into late winter and early spring. The CPC outlook for Feb/Mar/Apr agrees with higher chances for warmth

What an awesome weekend celebrating 50 years of hockey in Hartford. It was awesome seeing all the Whalers gear around!

Mike Slifer @mikesliferwx.bsky.social · 10/01/2025

A low impact snow event tonight/tomorrow morning. This is our only chance for any accumulating snow for the next 7 days

Hockey Night in Hartford is this Saturday! It’s 50 years to the day since the Hartford Whalers first took to the ice. Can’t wait to see the new documentary and then go watch the Wolf Pack play!

Cold and windy for the next several days. Tons of uncertainly surrounding a storm this weekend. Lots to cover this evening!

A snoozefest for snow lovers in New England for at least a week

With an average temp of 55.0°, 2024 is the warmest year on record for the Hartford Area by an impressive 1.3° over 2012 (and a whopping 4.0° above average). This is the first time since 1905 when records began that we have had an average annual temp at/above 55°

000

Mike Slifer @mikesliferwx.bsky.social · 01/01/2025

We are less than two weeks away from our average high reaching its lowest point (35° from Jan 9-30). In one month, on January 31, our average highs begin climbing before peaking at 86° in July

We’ll see what the official number is on Thursday, but 2024 will go down as the warmest year on record for the Hartford Area (records 1905)

Mike Slifer @mikesliferwx.bsky.social · 30/12/2024

Two First Alert Weather Days this week… rain will impact your New Year’s Eve plans tomorrow. There could even be a couple rumbles of thunder! On Thursday, while dry, wind gusts out of the west/northwest will peak between 45 and 55 mph. Outages possible
