5/27- Stormy

Good Wednesday all-

The weather today is going to be even yuckier than yesterday, I'm afraid. Temperatures are going to be in the mid to upper 80s today with high humidity. This generally is asking for trouble, and the SPC has put Litchfield and Fairfield County under a SLIGHT RISK of severe weather, the highest rating for CT so far this severe season. New Haven and Hartford have a MARGINAL risk, Middlesex and Tolland have a SEE TEXT risk, and New London and Windham have no risk. This just shows the sharp cutoff will happen right at nightfall...and storms will have a very tough time making their way across the state. Otherwise...tomorrow looks practically identical to today...as does Friday...and Saturday... you get the point!

In the Pacific- The low we discussed yesterday is becoming better organised...and will likely become Tropical Depression 1-E (and probably Tropical Storm Andres) sometime before the end of the work week, but it poses no threat to land.


Today in weather history- May 27, 1997- A monster F5 tornado strikes Jarrell, Texas- a town in which very few people had basements. The death toll ends up at 27- very impressive for a storm in a very, very small town. $20 million of damage is caused by the tornado
