Good Tuesday all!
Today is actually going to not be too terrible with temps in the 40s today, and it will just keep getting warmer! In fact, 50 degree temps are likely both Friday and Saturday! It will feel nice and unnaturally warm but...it's still below average! The average high by the end of March is the mid 50's- and we won't get there this time. A cold front moves through with a period of light to even moderate snow Saturday night- there may be a minor accumulation- before the temps plunge through the floor. Unfortunately, highs for early next week look trapped in the mid-30s at best! To make matters worse, a nor'easter tries to take aim at Connecticut next Tuesday, right in the peak of the cold, so it would likely be entirely snow...waay too early to call though- I wouldn't put out any snowfall guesses until Sunday- but stay tuned for sure! Winter is still here folks, even though the spring session of EDU's begins today at my school!
Today in weather history- March 18, 1925- The tri-state tornado carves a path of destruction 234 miles long- by far the longest in history- and also kills 695 people- again, by far the most in history. The tornado forms in southeast Missouri, crosses through southern Illinois, and dissipates in southern Indiana. This becomes, and still is, the standard by which all tornadoes are ultimately compared to- last year's tornado in Moore killed 25 people, so imagine a storm twenty-eight times that impactful....YIKES!
