Good Thursday all-
Today is going to be a better day than yesterday, especially with regards to temperatures, which will be near record-breaking as 70 is possible today. Unfortunately, it comes with the general nastiness that follows the end of a 2-4" rainstorm, which is what most of the state is winding down right now. As that moves out, there are no serious rain chances for the foreseeable future and temps way above average for the first week of November, though chillier weather looks likely for the second week of the month.
In both the Atlantic and Pacific- Development is nowhere to be found.
Today in weather history- double special-
Today is a day that lives in infamy for CT weather
October 29, 2011- An incredibly rare early season nor'easter pummels Connecticut, dropping as much as a foot and a half of heavy wet snow on the state, giving 5+" to nearly everyone, and knocking out power to a record 830,000 people. The tree damage was as severe as what the state had experienced during Hurricane Irene just two months prior.
October 29, 2012- Just one year later, Hurricane Sandy makes its' final landfall in New Jersey, which puts Connecticut on the windy side and causing another severe and crippling blow to the region. Many houses along the shoreline are destroyed, winds gust as high as 85mph. Some people lose power for two weeks for the third time in 14 months.
Compared to those two, today's storm feels like nothing!
