3/27- Looks like snow tomorrow...and Monday

HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE-

The wintry mix we're experiencing through much of the state this morning will be moving out very soon, leaving us with a generally partly to mostly cloudy day today before we get into trouble with a storm tomorrow. A large nor'easter is going to miss us to the east, but a 'Norlun trough' is going to develop, meaning that we're going to get accumulating snow anyway. Exactly where this trough sets up is key. Away from the 75 or so miles that it hits...very little (1-2") is possible, but underneath the band, there could be as much as 3-5". It all depends on exactly where the area sets up...and it has equal chances of being over us...and being over Boston. At the moment, I'm more inclined to believe it would set up over us...so I'll forecast 1-4" of snow during the day tomorrow...with locally 5" in those areas stuck under the heavy band.

Sunday looks fine, but a minor (1-2") snowfall is possible on Monday with a clipper. Rain moves in for Wednesday, but the big weather story over the next 5 days is the threat of an Easter nor'easter, which could drop a late season monster snowfall for Connecticut...miss entirely...or produce heavy rain. At the moment...all of these possibilities are modeled in some...so naturally I've got no idea which of those 3 situations will play out. All we can do is watch.

Today in weather history- March 27, 1984- The US March record high temperature occurs as Cotulla, TX reaches 108 degrees.  Needless to say, nobody in the US has been even remotely close to this temperature this month.
