4/1- A cool and wet start to April

Good Tuesday all!

A blizzard warning is up....nah April fools! Really, though, the temps will be quite nice today in the high 50s, and I think tomorrow most areas hit 60! A welcome relief, but it won't last very long...Thursday night, a rainstorm moves in and it is so small in size it's laughable but it's potent enough to deliver 1/2" of rain or so to most of the state. The rain ends Friday morning before it cools down to the low 50s and then we pick up a total drencher on Saturday with 1-2" of rain likely as a large area of low pressure passes to our west through the great lakes. Beyond that, temps moderate slightly, but the threat of rain continues through midweek.

Today in weather history- April 1, 1997- The day prior, when heavy snow was forecasted while temps were in the 60s at the time, many thought it was a joke, but it wasn't as a massive blizzard dumps between one and two feet of snow over Southern New England. The snow largely melts the following day, but it remains the most significant spring snowstorm in Southern New England history.
