Good Saturday all!
Today's hot and humid weather brings the first true severe weather threat of 2014, which could feature a variety of things if you get trapped under the heavier cells this afternoon. I would say that there is about a 25% chance of a severe storm passing over any one point in CT.
Today's threats include:
Lightning- Very high in/around storms
Hail- Possible threat in strongest cells- pea to dime sized
Flooding/Rain- Possible in cells- torrential downpours likely in spots
Damaging wind- Unlikely except in the very strongest cells, and likely not any >45mph likely anyway
Tornadoes- No threat today at all- not enough instability/wind shear
For those who may care about the Thursday prom at Sound School and the senior class trip Friday...it is looking...
really, really bad. I expect pouring rain on both Thursday and Friday at the present time. In fact, it is significant enough to possibly warrant a storm watch...I am watching it closely, since the timing could not be worse!
Today in weather history- May 10, 2010- A tornado ironically hits the barn that the movie Twister was filmed in. The odds of getting hit by a tornado is so slim, yet this coincidence is really ironic and shows just how bizarre fate can be at times
