Look for some mild temperatures for Friday, Nov. 20 and Saturday, Nov. 21, before our weather gives way to a cold rain late Sunday, according to meteorologist Brad Field.

In their weekly podcast, Field and co-host Dan Lovallo explain what their podcast plans are for the upcoming Thanksgiving week. They also discuss another avenue they will pursue to get the word out on Brad’s long range winter forecast, which was released last month.

As for Connecticut’s recent up-and-down weather patterns – mild, followed by storms and sub-freezing temperatures – Field talks about how the entire world’s weather has an impact on our region’s weather climate.

Connecticut faces big weather change

Connecticut faces a big weather change, according to meteorologist Brad Field. After a stretch of 70-degree days, unusual for November, the state and region are about to be slapped with a big reality check, notes Field in his weekly podcast with co-host Dan Lovallo.

A cold front, sweeping across the state, has brought rain and a temperature dip. And Field says it is only going to get colder. There will be some moderating temperatures by Thanksgiving Day, but not before a stretch of weather that for a couple of days calls for daytime highs in the 30s, during the week of Nov. 15.

Field, who issued his long range winter forecast a couple of weeks ago, also revisits his winter prediction just a bit, after consulting with the latest resources on the subject. All this and more are in the podcast.

Unseasonably mild weather is infiltrating Connecticut and the region, according to meteorologist Brad Field. In his weekly podcast with co-host Dan Lovallo, Field explains what is behind the change in the weather and how long these mild temperatures will be around. The podcast begins with the weather for Nov. 6, 2020.

Field also takes a long range look into the rest of November, including what our weather might be like for Thanksgiving.

What will the winter weather be like for 2020-21? As our clocks change and thoughts turn to the winter season, meteorologist Brad Field issues his long range forecast for the winter of 2020-21. He particularly focuses on Connecticut and the region. Field’s winter prediction has always been eagerly anticipated by his followers and this season is no exception.

Several factors are at play, Field explains in the podcast, including ocean temperatures in the Pacific. Field also compares his long range outlook with what others are forecasting for the upcoming winter.

Snow, mix, plus winter forecast

Snow and a winter mix are part of Connecticut’s immediate forecast, according to meteorologist Brad Field, in his weekly podcast with co-host Dan Lovallo. As the state and region get pummeled with rain, thanks to the remnants of Hurricane Zeta, an Arctic cold front will collide with the storm, setting up an interesting commute for Friday morning, Oct. 30, according to Field.

Our weather will feel like a roller coaster ride for the next few days with everything from subfreezing to sixty-degree temperatures. Field will map it all out.

Brad’s winter forecast

While our temperatures will moderate, it is not too early to begin thinking about winter. In this podcast, Brad also issues his eagerly, anticipated winter forecast for the 2020-21 season. He also outlines how he came by his long range prediction.

Enjoy the unseasonably, mild weather on Oct. 22 through 24, because it is about to change in Connecticut, according to meteorologist Brad Field. In his weekly podcast with co-host Dan Lovallo, Field outlines the dramatic weather turn that earmarks the future.

The weather pattern for the state will undergo a noticeable change by Oct. 25, after an extended period of moderating temperatures. Gone will be the 70-degree days, replaced by more seasonable temperatures and some much needed rain.

Field outlines it all, while also reminding his podcast audience that on Oct. 29, he will be releasing his always popular long range winter forecast.

Friday drencher prelude to calm

Connecticut is in store for some much needed rain with a Friday drencher, according to meteorologist Brad Field. In his weekly podcast with co-host Dan Lovallo, Field predicts that a substantial amount of rainfall will hit the region from Oct. 16 into Oct. 17, with heavy, overnight rain highlighting the soaker.

Where is the storm coming from and what follows the heavy rain are all discussed in the podcast. The co-hosts also discuss what the weather will probably produce over the second-half of October into November. As for the reduced amount of day light, that has major impact on our weather too, as Field and Lovallo discuss.

Delta will impact Connecticut

Enjoy the weather on Oct. 10, because it will make a dramatic turn in Connecticut, before the holiday weekend is completed, according to meteorologist Brad Field. Temperatures for Oct. 10 will soar into the 70s, but in his weekly podcast with co-host Dan Lovallo, Field notes that remnants of Hurricane Delta will bring a meaningful rainfall to Connecticut on Oct. 12 into Oct. 13.

Field times out Monday’s storm and then details the remainder of the week’s weather, including a dramatic change by Oct. 17. The rest of the month’s weather outlook is also examined by Field, as well as what is going on in the tropics.

Great autumn weather for Connecticut

By Leave a Comment

The first October weekend in Connecticut and the region sets up to be a terrific one, weather wise, according to meteorologist Brad Field. After some sporadic rain on Friday, Oct. 2, the weather turns delightful for Oct. 3 and 4. After the weekend concludes, however, Monday, Oct. 5 could lead to a rain event, according to Field, who details the forecast in his weekly podcast with co-host Dan Lovallo.

After reviewing the September weather numbers, Field details what October may look like in his “Crystal Ball” weather segment. For example, could we get an October surprise snowstorm as we did nine years ago?

The forces have to align correctly for an October surprise, Field notes, but that doesn’t stop him for examining AccuWeather’s long-range winter forecast. Field also announces when he will issue his popular winter forecast on the podcast.

First fall weekend in Connecticut delightful, but…

Look for delightful weather in Connecticut from Sep. 25 through Sep. 27 says Brad Field, because changes are on the horizon. The renowned meteorologist discusses what the early October weather will be like in his weekly podcast with co-host Dan Lovallo.

What about the tropics? Well, for the moment, Field notes that things are quiet but that he would not be surprised if there is a turnaround by next week’s podcast. What is for certain is that Connecticut is in dire need of rain, as drought conditions persist. (At the end of the show notes is a link to the drought monitor for Connecticut.)

There does seem to be some rain in the forecast for the week of Sep. 27, and Field times out the arrival of the precipitation. How much we get, however, depends on the development of a low pressure system.

Drought and cold for Connecticut

By 1 Comment

Drought-like conditions persist in Connecticut, according to meteorologist Brad Field in his latest podcast with co-host Dan Lovallo. Field states there does not appear to be any significant rain in the offing. Adding to the atmosphere is a dramatic change in the weather, with cooler than normal temperatures about to infiltrate the region.

In the podcast, Field and Lovallo also discuss the active tropics, including the latest on Sally and what is on the horizon for Bermuda on Sep. 21. But as for rain in Connecticut, that is another story all together, Field stated.

Are the fires in the west, having an impact on Connecticut? Yes they are, according to Field. As for down the road, it appears that a La Nina is beginning to form and that could make for an interesting winter around New England, as the podcast co-hosts explain.

Good-bye summer, Connecticut

Connecticut’s weather is about to take a dramatic turn, according to meteorologist Brad Field. After a rainy, Sep. 10, the weather will turn delightful on Friday and Saturday, Field explained to co-host Dan Lovallo and his podcast audience. But after a transitional weather day on Sunday, Sep. 13, the weather will turn downright fall-like, a week before the autumn season officially arrives.

Sep. 10 also marks the mid-way point of the hurricane season. Field and Lovallo delve into that topic and what’s on the horizon. In fact, Sep. 21 could be interesting in the Florida Keys, according to Field.

The weather has been interesting, like everything else in 2020, as Field and Lovallo talk about the amazing weather change in Denver and the fires in the far West. What this all means for Connecticut’s weather is also a topic of discussion.
