Warmest day of the year so far today ☀️
Temperatures this afternoon top out in the 70s and 80s for most, or about 20 degrees above normal for mid-April.
⚠️ Early-season heat can catch people off guard—stay hydrated, take breaks, and never leave kids or pets in cars!

911 Outage for Southeastern Connecticut Resolved
March 11, 2026 3pm update:
All affected Southeastern Connecticut Public Safety Answering Points (PSAP) outages have been resolved, with all PSAPs back online and reroutes lifted.
The cause for the rerouting was determined to be a faulty router in Southeastern Connecticut and not a cyber-related incident.
Should residents or visitors have any further problems related to 911, please contact the Network Control Center (NCC) at 860-685-8525.

Rain changes over to a wintry mix to freezing rain/sleet Thu PM-Fri. The greatest risk for ice is in the S. Worcester Hills and S Berkshires, with significant sleet more likely further north. There is also a low risk for a burst of a few inches of snow across northern MA on Fri.

A wintry mix of snow, freezing rain, and rain will arrive this afternoon and come to an end before sunrise on Wednesday. This may make for a slippery commute Tuesday evening and even Wednesday morning thanks to lingering black ice.

CT, we are looking at mixed precipitation starting mid-day tomorrow, making for slippery conditions. Luckily, things warm up a bit with possible temps in the 60s next week!
Mar 2
High pressure over the area today will give way to a series of frontal systems bringing rain chances much of this week. A wintry mix may begin early Tuesday morning, likely quickly becoming all rain. A much-welcomed warm up is expected later this week.

Our crews were out all night clearing the roads, and they’re still out there now. The #blizzard continues and travel remains difficult, so if you don’t absolutely have to drive, STAY OFF THE ROADS! Give our crews the space and time they need to do their jobs. #CTDOT #Snow

It’s been years since I’ve seen this kind of blizzard warnings for the northeast. Too say it’s long overdue is an understatement.
