Good Thursday all- one day left until April break for some!
Today is going to be one of the best days in quite a while- highs should reach the mid 60s and sunny conditions will prevail with a few cirrus clouds possible, but not much more. Today, the temperature reading at my house in Wallingford is 25 degrees- burr! It will get better though, so just give the sun a bit of time to warm us up today. Tomorrow, clouds become increasingly thick and rain commences tomorrow afternoon into the day on Saturday with light amounts possible- it looks like scattered showers at this time. After the warm front moves through, we are clear until Sunday night, when another warm front moves through....and the temps could reach 70 for the first time since October 17! That only lasts one day though, as a cold front with rain moves through shortly after dropping the temps down to below average once more. Finally, the long-range models continue to show us having a close call with snowflakes on Monday 4/21. Something to watch? Yes. Something to worry about? No. I'd only put a 5% likelihood of this happening at the moment
Today in weather history- April 10, 1996- The second nor'easter in 3 days buries the northeast and drops as much as 17" of snow in Windham. This storm breaks the all-time record for the snowiest winter on record in most areas, including Hartford (115.2") and Bridgeport (75.8"). The second snowiest winter in these locations is 2010-11, in which Hartford picked up a little over 80". That shows just how extreme this particular winter was!
