Hartford, Connecticut – After a stretch of persistent winter chill, Connecticut is expected to see a modest temperature rebound during the first full week of February, offering a brief easing of conditions as the state moves deeper into winter.
According to the National Weather Service and NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center, temperatures from Tuesday through Monday, Feb. 4–10, are still favored to run below normal across Connecticut. Even so, daytime highs are projected to trend several degrees warmer than late January. In central and southern Connecticut, including Hartford and New Haven, highs may reach the upper 20s to low 30s at times, while overnight lows dip into the teens.
Colder conditions will continue across the northwestern hills and Litchfield County, where single-digit lows remain possible on the coldest mornings. However, the broader pattern does not suggest a prolonged Arctic outbreak, signaling a pause from the harshest cold spells.
Snow chances appear limited during this period, reducing the likelihood of widespread accumulation. Travel along Interstates 84, 91, and the Merritt Parkway should remain manageable, though refreezing overnight could create icy patches during early morning commutes.
Residents are encouraged to maintain winter precautions, including monitoring road conditions and protecting pipes during colder nights. While this shift does not signal an early spring, it marks a subtle moderation as February progresses, with additional updates possible if conditions change.
