A marvelous stretch of sunshine is in store this week with highs in the low to mid 60s and lows in the 40s. Today will be sunny and cool with increasing winds. Winds will be noticeably breezy up to 25 to 30 mph through the midweek. A nearby offshore storm will bring indirect impacts to the immediate coast.

A large coastal storm is expected to strengthen throughout the midweek. The National Hurricane Center has a 40% chance that this storm could develop to a subtropical cyclone later this week and slowly track northeast. This storm is forecast to bring high surf, large swells, beach erosion, coastal flooding and a persistent gusty North to Northeast wind to the Mid-Atlantic states. If the storm tracks slightly closer, winds will become a bigger concern inland with rain likely along the east end of Long Island and southeastern Connecticut on Wednesday into Thursday.

As of now, the storm is expected to stay away from western Connecticut with little to no impacts. As the storm tracks away from our region, dry and slightly cooler weather is expected through this weekend. Stay tuned for updates with the News 12 team.
