Fall, crisp feel this week with lots of sunshine and no rain in sight

"

NOW: A cold front will open up our day with a few showers across western Connecticut. Some will be dry. After that, it remains dry through the week. Temperatures will be mild today. Then, a crisp cooldown will be on the way. NEXT: Our first frost will be possible north of the Merritt Parkway overnight Wednesday. Highs will be in the 60s Wednesday-Friday. It will then warm some into next weekend. TROPICS: Now a Category 2, Milton is expected to strengthen into a Category 4 hurricane by tomorrow. Areas of heavy rainfall will impact portions of Florida today well ahead of Milton, heavy rainfall more directly related to the system expected later on Tuesday through Wednesday night. This rainfall will bring the risk of considerable flash, urban, and areal flooding, along with the potential for moderate to major river flooding. There is an increasing risk of life-threatening storm surge and damaging winds for portions of the west coast of the Florida Peninsula beginning Tuesday night or early Wednesday. FORECAST: MONDAY: Sunshine with highs will be around 70 degrees. TUESDAY: Partly to mostly cloudy. Highs around 70F. WEDNESDAY: Plenty sunny. Cooler and crisp. Highs in the 60s.
