5/9- Wet Friday!

Good Friday all!

Unfortunately, it won't be a 'good' weather day, as it is likely to rain the majority of the rain today, with even thunder and lightning a distinct possibility as a warm front moves through today. The risk of showers and storms tomorrow, however, increases as a cold front moves through. Despite this, however, we continue to raise our temps- but the price is those popup thunderstorms in the afternoon. On Tuesday for example, it would not floor me to see somebody in Connecticut hit the mark of 90 degrees!!! It seems we are about to get our first taste of the summer season!

Today in weather history- May 9, 1977- This is it! The latest snowfall on record in Connecticut occurs, as BDL records 2" of snow! However, that is just a tease- Norwalk manages, somehow, to recieve two feet of snow. Yes, really, it did happen. The fall equivalent would be a storm of this magnitude around October 20. Since we got one similar to this on October 29, 2011, that simply goes to show that it is possible! And don't worry- I don't see this record falling anytime soon!


Countdown to the 2014 Atlantic hurricane season- 23
