Good Friday all- (The one day a year I say that!!)
All of CT is under a SEE TEXT risk of severe weather
Today is going to be a miserable day from the beginning- rain is already arriving in western Connecticut and will spread eastward through the morning, becoming heavier as the day progresses and peaking at around noon when thunderstorms with gusty winds and small hail are not out of the realm of possibility. The one good thing about today is that high temperatures will be in the mid-60s, so at least you'll be warm while you are drying yourself out. Fortunately, the rest of Easter weekend looks mild and sunny, with highs in the upper 50s tomorrow and lower 60s on the big day itself. By Monday however, a coastal low will drop heavy rain on Connecticut, especially in the morning hours. Exactly what the impacts will be remain to be seen, but you can count on being wet! The remaining part of next week looks partly cloudy and seasonable.
Today in weather history- March 25, 1934- A classic example of what can go wrong in a snowstorm forecast at this time of year if the air is too dry. Amarillo, TX receives 21" of snow...at least, they would have had it not all melted on contact except for a paltry 4". That is an extreme example, but...that goes to show the challenges faced with getting a significant snowstorm at this time of year!
