4/22- Here comes rain!

Good Tuesday everyone-

Unfortunately, though, the weather today is not the greatest...especially in the afternoon. Low stratus clouds will be on the increase through the day, and by the late afternoon, moderate rain will spread over our area as a cold front moves through, knocking the temps back into the mid 50s tomorrow. I expect 1/4" to 1/2" of rain statewide this evening and tomorrow morning (thunderstorms are also possible), and then we can enjoy several days of cool, but dry, weather, until around Saturday when the next chance of some rain occurs in Connecticut (though we may get off the hook too...we'll see!). There is likely to be a freeze several times in the next week or so, by the way, so I'd hold off on planting for another week at least! This has been some of the worst spring weather in terms of cold I can remember...incredible how cold we've been in general to start 2014.

Today in weather history- April 22, 2003- Tropical Storm Ana becomes the first tropical storm on record to form in the Atlantic in April, as it does so halfway between Bermuda and the US. Ultimately, tropical storm conditions occurred on the island of Bermuda as the storm moved east, with negligible US impacts except for some high surf. The name Ana was last used in 2009, and will be used again next year (2015)
