FORECAST: Warming Election Day; possible record warmth Wednesday

Get ready for another big warm up this week. Possible record highs on Wednesday when we could reach 75-80!

CONNECTICUT, USA — A warm front will swing to our north and west late Monday into early Tuesday with a band of clouds, but no rain. Once that warm front pushes through the region, temperatures will jump well into the 70s by Election Day.

Check out the drought monitor, showing very dry to moderate drought conditions across southern New England.  We need a good soaking rainstorm to alleviate the very dry conditions, and reduce the high brush fire risk.  Latest medium range guidance continue to show not much rain for at least another week.
