Good Wednesday all-
A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY is still up for Litchfield and Hartford counties until 9 AM, and a WIND ADVISORY is up for the immediate shoreline for tonight.
Well, the storm yesterday did something that, quite honestly, I should have realized would happen but didn't- the ground was above freezing and so the snow simply didn't stick until the very end of the storm...making it a total bust with most areas receiving nothing more than a dusting. Did 2-4" fall out of the sky yesterday? Yeah, probably but it just didn't stick so the accumulations were basically nothing.
Unfortunately, today looks absolutely miserable as it's going to be POURING all afternoon and evening tonight. Winds could gust up to 60mph, and hail is possible tonight as well. I would also expect some power outages as a result. When all is said and done, you can plan on some 1-3" of rain with locally higher amounts in thunderstorms (which could be severe). In fact, for the first time in recent memory in the month of February, the SPC has placed the shoreline under a MARGINAL risk of severe weather, while the rest of the state is under a SEE TEXT risk...which is still very impressive for this time of year. For those looking for snow...there really is nothing significant in sight. Although I hesitate to say "game over"...it may be close.
In lieu of weather history today, please send thoughts and prayers out to the victims of the tornadoes yesterday in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Florida. Amazingly, a tornado struck at or near the New Orleans Airport yesterday, after I was there less than a month ago. Somehow, this is the third time it happened to me in the last four years...very remarkable in its' own right
