Nuisance winter storm a prelude to bigger things?

By Leave a Comment

A nuisance winter storm could be a prelude to bigger weather events in Connecticut, according to meteorologist Brad Field. In a special edition podcast, Field predicts a small storm will strike Connecticut on Jan. 3 into early Jan. 4, dropping a mixed bag of precipitation. Accumulation amounts are dependent on where you live.

Although this is not expected to be a major storm, it could cause some travel difficulties and impact the Jan. 4 morning commute. In his conversation with co-host Dan Lovallo, Field also explains why the storm is expected to stall once it rides by Connecticut and what that could mean in the way of future storms for the region.

Damaging winds and heavy rains are expected.

Wind gusts could hit 50 or 60 MPH – depending on location – and rainfall totals could reach 6 inches in some areas. After the storm passes, low temperatures by Wednesday, Aug. 5 into Thursday could dip into the 50s, according to Field.

Following a nasty weather day on Friday, April 3, the weather will turn nice around Connecticut and New England, according to meteorologist Brad Field. In his weekly podcast with Dan Lovallo, Field says a storm which is backing up from the Atlantic Ocean, will bring rain and wind to the region, especially for Cape Cod and the islands and eastern Connecticut. Expect high winds for the area on Friday.

Once the storm passes, the weather turns real nice, as Field explains. He also looks back at March 2020 weather figures and mentions why what is going on in the Gulf of Mexico could have a major effect on the 2020 hurricane season.
