OUR WINTER FORECAST FOR 2009-2010...TUESDAY EVENING AT 11 PM...ON NBC CONNECTICUT HD...

Follow me on twitter! www.twitter.com/ryanhanrahan

Can you believe Thanksgiving is just days away?

For the short term, our streak of nice fall weather continues once again.  Enjoy the weekend, though, because the next 7-days has lots of rain drops (and perhaps other types of precip in it).

Expect lots of sun tomorrow. Highs will be slightly above normal, in the lower to mid 50s.

A batch of moisture from the south will work toward us on Monday, but it looks likely that the rain may hold off until very late day or even at night.  Nonetheless, a NE wind looks to take over and that means it'll be a much cooler day.   The unsettled weather sticks around through Tuesday.  Even Wednesday will feature some lingering showers to start the day.

Thanksgiving at this point is looking calm...but all computer data points to a storm moving in Thanksgiving night into Friday, the big shopping day.  We still need more data to fine tune the details.  At this point it looks like lots of wind and the potential for heavy precip (at times).  The wind will be produced by a major storm that looks to want to develop off the coast.  At this point where and when that storm really intensifies is one of the big questions.  The rest of the holiday weekend is looking blustery and chilly, but fairly quiet. 

Stay with us as we get new information in on the busy travel (and shopping) day Friday/Saturday storm potential.   Looking ahead longer term (into the next two weeks) it's looking fairly typical of an "el nino" influence, storms gathering lots of moisture out of the Gulf of Mexico and threatening the East Coast.  We'll keep you posted!

Make it a great day!

Darren & Ryan
