A coastal storm will slide just offshore today. While the snow stays mostly out to sea, the storm will ramp up the winds across Western Connecticut, bringing northerly gusts between 25–30 mph. This afternoon will be stubbornly cloudy, and while most of the region stays dry, a stray flurry is possible toward the south and east.

Aside from the wind, the main story is the intense cold. Highs will only reach the teens and low 20s under mostly cloudy skies. Despite the chill, major travel impacts or delays are not expected during the daytime today.

Temperatures will "warm" slightly toward the lower 30s by Monday. We’ll linger near or just below the freezing mark through the midweek before another blast of arctic air arrives for next weekend.
