Unfortunately, we have to enjoy this rather pleasant weather while we can. First things first though- a FROST ADVISORY has been issued for Litchfield County...but it wouldn't surprise me at all to see that expanded through northern Connecticut. At least we're going to be precip free for the next few days...but I can't say that after Monday. Actually, I think most of next week is going to be very, very wet indeed...with intervals of rain pretty much all of the work week...so those outdoor activities and chores should be done by the end of this long weekend.
Happy Memorial Day to everyone- and thanks to all those who have served overseas for our nation.
In the Pacific- Two tropical cyclones are likely to develop. The good news? They're over 2000 miles from any land, so we're not exactly concerned about them whatsoever.
Today in weather history- May 22, 2004- A massive F4 tornado passes through Hallam, NE- killing one, injuring 38 more, and causing $160 million of damage. The remarkable thing is that, at peak intensity, the storm was 2.5 miles wide, which was the record for the widest tornado ever recorded. Incredibly though, that record would fall on May 31, 2013 in El Reno...which measured 3 miles wide...and killed some storm chasers, including Tim Samaras (who was on Discovery Channel for years) when it suddenly changed direction and crossed a traffic-filled highway
