4/22- Thunderstorms today!

Good Wednesday all-

The storm prediction center has placed western Fairfield County under a marginal risk of severe weather. The rest of the state is under a see text risk of severe weather. The storms will be here around 3 or so and continue through much of the afternoon as a powerful cold front moves through Connecticut. It's going to pour torrentially for a time this afternoon for pretty much everyone. I can't rule out small hail and strong gusty winds with these storms either...but be glad there's no tornado risk or anything like that!

Beyond today, the big storyline is downright cold weather that will be with us for quite some time. See my post from yesterday for more info on that- no change to the forecast has occurred.

Today in weather history- April 22, 1990- A strong thunderstorm drops some 8.69" of rain on Cheyanne, OK, leaving some of the town buried under as much as 5ft of water!
