Today we start slowly turning the corner on this cool/damp/windy pattern! Expect partly sunny although it will remain breezy with highs in the low 50s. The state should remain dry although an isolated shower cannot be ruled out in the extreme eastern part of the state.
Monday still looks good for the solar eclipse with dry conditions and milder temps with highs in the low 60s! That said, some mid-high level clouds could be drifting overhead during the afternoon but we’ll keep an eye on that part of the forecast very carefully as this could impact the ability to see the eclipse clearly…
Very mild on Tuesday where highs make may a run at 70 inland! Rain seems likely towards the middle-end of the week. Some scattered showers are possible Wednesday with most of the rain likely Thursday and Friday.
Details of the upcoming solar eclipse on Monday, April 8:
For us in Connecticut, the event will begin around 2:12 p.m. The sun will be 90% to 94% covered by 3:27 p.m. The eclipse will end around 4:38 p.m.
Parts of northern New England will be in the path of totality, like Burlington, VT, Colebrook, NH, and Millinocket, ME. It does look like there will be some cirrus clouds that could create more of a dull look in western Connecticut!
