SNE Forecast: Monday Afternoon Update

Issued Monday December 16, 2024 @ 2:00pm

Today’s forecast is verifying reasonably well as the clouds have overrun the area according to expectations last night. There was a period of light rain, mainly across CT and RI, during the wee hours of this morning, but it wasn’t very long-lived and has mostly dried out with the exception of a little bit of light rain along a Bridgeport, CT to New Bedford, MA line. Otherwise, the area is mostly dry. Temperatures, for the most part, are behaving themselves with just a few mid-40s creeping into S RI, far SE MA, and the mid-Cape and Islands. This is in response to a warm front that pushed northward along the southern coast of CT/RI into SE MA.

Visible Satellite Loop for 12/16/2024 from 11am through 1:40pm
Temperature and Radar for 12/16/2024 @ 1:45pm

Other than that, the forecast is doing pretty well this afternoon and not much change is expected.

Have a great Monday!
