Good Monday all-
Well this is, without a doubt, among the trickiest weeks of weather forecasting in my life. There are so many things that could bust forecasts, but let's start with what we know- today is going to be just fine, with mostly cloudy skies and temps in the 40s, a typical December day.
Tomorrow, we are pretty sure that a massive rainstorm is on the way, and thus the STORM WARNING is in effect from late tonight until midnight between Tues/Weds. Beyond that, it will change to snow. The question then becomes how much precipitation wraps around to fall in our region on the back end, since there could be a significant snowfall in portions of the state, particularly the northern third or so and Litchfield County. This storm and moisture will then be around us most of the week...but it appears as though it will clear in time for the weekend.
Today (Steve's rather not-so-great pick of the week)- Mostly cloudy, temps in the 40s
Tomorrow- (Steve's big time clunker of the week)- Torrential cold rainstorm with strong wind and 2-4" of rain statewide. Highs in the low 40s
Weds, Thurs, Fri- On and off snow showers. Some accumulation is possible in the higher elevations. Highs in the upper 30s or low 40s
Sat/Sun- Clearing, temps in the upper 40s.
Today in weather history- December 8, 1892- Gay Hill, Texas, achieves a tremendous feat by receiving a whopping half foot of freezing rain. The impacts that would have on the modern world is downright tremendous, since the majority of cities can be shut down for days with just 0.5" of ice, let alone twelve times that.
