A powerful coastal storm moves dangerously close to Connecticut on Monday, and the state will breathe a sigh of relief as we enjoy a mostly quiet Presidents Day.
Temperatures could reach 40 degrees on Monday as a major storm passes through southern Connecticut. (weather clock)
Temperatures will rise to near 40 degrees in the afternoon, with heavy clouds at times due to storms from the south.
States on the storm’s northern edge could see a few snow showers, but most of us will experience a dry day Monday.
Warmer weather is on the cards for the middle of the week as a large ridge of mild air develops over much of the eastern two-thirds of the country. High temperatures will reach 40 degrees on Tuesday and Wednesday, with temperatures in some towns possibly reaching 50 degrees both days.
Enjoy the mild air as there are signs we’ll be back into colder weather early next week.
