4/8- It gets better!

Good Tuesday all- (And Congrats Huskies!)

The rain that we see this morning shall continue for about another hour or so for most, perhaps a tad longer in a few locations, before we clear it out and have a rather pleasant afternoon today. Moving forward, today we should reach the low 60s, but we won't make it quite that high tomorrow (mid-50s). Thursday and Friday are certainly the picks of the week, with highs in the 60s and clear conditions. The next chance for significant rain, believe it or not, comes...SATURDAY! That's right, the third straight Saturday could be rather wet and dreary once again as a cold front stalls over Southern New England and a coastal tries to develop along it...but that's a story for another blog update!


Today in weather history- April 8, 1958- Aurere, La Reunion Island breaks the 48 hour rainfall record as they pick up...97.1" OF RAIN!!!! This averages out to 2 inches of rain an HOUR for TWO DAYS. Here in New England, 2 inches of rain is a massive, massive rainstorm. Imagine 48 times the rainstorm we picked up today? Yeah, that's what we'd be looking at.
