Good Friday all!
The rain is here to stay today unfortunately as a low pressure system tracks off to our Southeast and spins showers and storms into Connecticut. There is even a small chance of severe weather with some medium sized hail a possibility. Beyond today...I expect showers and storms to last until Sunday and then the return of a strong storm threat on Tuesday. Otherwise, Memorial Day itself looks great- bright sun and temps in the low-80s- it will feel more like mid July than late May!
In the Pacific...Tropical Depression 1-E is located 625 miles SSW of Manzanillo, Mexico. I expect the depression to strengthen into Tropical Storm Amanda later today, and it could become the first hurricane in my blog's history to track as it meanders in the East Pacific...but is no threat to land anytime in the near future.
Today in weather history- May 23, 1814- A report is issued of larger than grapefruit sized hail in New Hampshire- some reports state the stones were 11" in diameter and weighed half a pound! Personally, I am certain this is somewhat exaggerated (The largest hailstone in US history was only 8" in diameter), but it is still very impressive to see such large hail so far north!
