Have A Spooktacular Halloween!

New Englanders are a little wary around Halloween. Festivities were postponed or canceled for many in 2011 (October nor’easter) and 2012 (Hurricane Sandy). Luckily, there’s nothing spooky about the forecast this year! Sunshine will blend with some high clouds in the afternoon on Saturday with highs in the mid-upper 50s. For sunset Trick-or-treaters, temperatures will start near 50 degrees before falling through the 40s.

You get an extra hour of sleep Sunday morning (horray) as we “fall back” one hour Sunday at 2AM. Sunday will start off cloudy with a slight chance for a sprinkle. Then clouds will break for some sun with highs in the lower 60s. Sunday is the start of a slow warming trend that will continue through the end of next week accompanied by a long dry stretch of weather.

Forecast Details:

Tonight: Clear, frosty. Low: 28-35.

Tomorrow: Happy Halloween! Sunshine mixing with some high clouds in the afternoon. High: 53-56.

Sunday: Fall back! Daylight Saving Time ends 2 AM. Clouds break for some sunshine, milder. High: 59-62.

Monday: Mostly sunny, milder. High: 60-65.

Tuesday: Sunny, mild. High: 65-70.


Wednesday: Sunny, mild. High: 64-68.

CT Children's Storybook Gala



I love this so much!! Reading to Andon to support a great cause! Andon has had a few minor procedures/tests at CCMC and my husband spent months there as a child. Happy to give back and this spot turned out so cute in the process. I'm going to watch it over and over again for many years to come.
