Drought and cold for Connecticut

By Leave a 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.

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.

Connecticut’s Labor Day weekend weather will be a winner, according to meteorologist Brad Field in his weekly podcast with co-host Dan Lovallo. Field said that after steamy air moves out of the region on Sep. 3, dry air will move in, setting up warm days and cool night with low humidity.

The tropics have not calmed down, Field noted in the podcast. In fact, the week of Sep. 6 will mark the high point of the hurricane season and there is some activity brewing in the southern Atlantic Ocean. What are the chances Connecticut and New England could be impacted with a hurricane or tropical storm, before hurricane season ends? Field and Lovallo discuss the odds in the podcast.

When you get to this time of year, it’s not too late to begin thinking about winter, and the co-hosts have some fun talking about the differences in the long-range forecast by the Old Farmer’s Almanac and the Farmer’s Almanac.

September’s weather outlook and the beginning of meteorological autumn are also examined.

Connecticut, tropics heat up

After a respite in heat and humidity, Connecticut’s weather will heat up, starting on Aug. 22, according to meteorologist Brad Field. The week of Aug. 23 will also bring some uncertainty, because of the position of a cold front, Field told co-host Dan Lovallo in their weekly weather podcast. Meanwhile, the high point of the hurricane season starts on Aug. 20 and the stage is set for the tropics to be very active, Field stated.

Active tropics

Field discusses the reason behind the active tropics and previews what the weather might be like in Connecticut over the next three weeks. For certain, there will be changes, particularly as the amount of daylight continues to diminish. For example, since the beginning of summer, Connecticut has lost one hour and 37 minutes of daylight, as of Aug. 20.

Farmer’s Almanac

The Old Farmer’s Almanac is also out with its preview of the 2020-21 winter forecast and Field and Lovallo have fun discussing the predictions, and Field’s viewpoint on how accurate the Almanac has been over the years.

Connecticut can expect spectacular weather, according to meteorologist Brad Field. The week of August 16 is the week to be on vacation, Field told his audience and podcast co-host Dan Lovallo. The weather, after Monday, August 17, will be especially outstanding.

In the podcast, Field and Lovallo also look back at Tropical Storm Isaias and what changed from the original forecast. They discuss the power outages and also compare the storm to previous storms in the region.

Spectacular weather

After a chance of precipitation, leading into the week of August 16, Field explains why the weather will turn nearly perfect, beginning on August 17, as he and Lovallo go into their “On the Weather Map” segment.

Record 90-degree days?

Field and Lovallo also look at the number of 90-degree days in Connecticut this summer and how it compares to previous summers. Could Connecticut set a record? It is possible, but the podcast hosts detail the hours of daylight and how that will impact whether a new record will be established.

What about Josephine?

Will there be another tropical storm on the horizon? Field discusses the latest tropical depression, which is expected to form into Tropical Storm Josephine and the chances the region could be on the receiving end of the storm.

Salute to linemen

With near record power outages, because of the tropical storm, Field and Lovallo also offer a salute to those on the front lines, who worked hard to restore power to the region.
