Good Thursday all-
A couple of advisories to let everyone know about here...a RED FLAG WARNING has been issued for dry conditions and winds gusting to 45 mph...so be careful if you burn things. Also, a FREEZE WATCH has been issued for interior southern Connecticut as temps will drop to below the freezing point tonight. Despite that, today's headlines are going to be the very strong wind and below-average temperatures as it was a cold front that gave us the precipitation yesterday. After today, though, it doesn't exactly look pleasant beyond tomorrow. Rain is likely all day Saturday (the storm appears to be tracking close enough for a rainstorm to occur). As currently modeled, as much as 1/2" rain could fall...but that is subject to change. Also, a MASSIVE rainstorm is possible from Tuesday to Thursday of next week...enough to the point where a storm watch may be required tomorrow if trends continue. As it is, enjoy your Thursday!
Today in weather history- April 24, 1899- One of the more miraculous tornado stories occurs as three people are tossed into the air by a tornado, thrown a quarter mile...and survive without injury. A horse also was thrown one mile...and escaped without injury. As odd as this seems, there is precedent to this in more recent history, and tornadoes have behaved in this manner before. It is truly all luck!
