12/2- Wintry mix tonight

Good Tuesday all-

Today in and of itself is going to be just fine, but unfortunately tonight a wintry mix is likely to develops towards 5 or 6 tonight, but it should quickly transition to rain this evening for most of our area unless I have readers north of, say, Hartford, in which case I'd be very concerned about icy roads in the morning as that portion of the state could transition to freezing rain and/or sleet for a bit tonight as well before making the transition. Otherwise, the rest of the week looks very uninteresting, with the chance for a flurry or shower existing only on Friday and Sunday mornings.

Today in weather history- December 2, 1925- An incredibly strange event- a Tropical Storm strikes Florida and causes significant damage before coming up the coast and bringing tropical storm conditions to southern New England! Winds gusted as high as 60mph on Block Island as a result of the storm. Needless to say, this is amazingly rare, since the water temperature is so cold in our area by now, but it goes to show that the weather is a fickle beast and to expect the unexpected!
