Western Connecticut State University Meteorologist Gary Lessor described the makings of an unusual winter storm.
On Thursday, Lessor said, the weather is supposed to be nice for the day. “If people have travel plans, there should be very little impact if any,” he said. “It will actually be a good day for traveling. It will be mostly cloudy, it will become breezier as the day progresses. In the morning we’re looking at winds that will be about 10 mph, but during the afternoon it’ll increase to 15-20 mph. There could be some morning sun.”
Thursday’s highs are going to be unseasonably mild, he said. A normal temperature range for this time of year is 40 degrees high and 26 degrees for a low, but on Thursday there is going to be a high of 55-60 degrees during the day. He said that could climb to the mid-60s Thursday evening, which should be generally dry with a couple scattered showers.
