4/13- Finally a BIG warm up

Good Wednesday all-

A FREEZE WARNING is up for northern portions of Southern CT...but it will expire shortly.

Finally, our weather is getting warmer! Today isn't exactly going to be boiling, but it will feel that way as temps get near 60...but after this, we're looking at temps steadily climbing until we reach the mid-70s on Sunday! That will feel amazing! Sadly, it won't last because, if you can believe it, an Arctic front makes its' way through New England early next week with rain showers, but then below average temps and, yes, isolated snow flurries...are possible next Wednesday. They wouldn't accumulate to anything, but seeing flakes on April 20th is still seriously impressive.

Today in weather history- April 13, 1955- I don't quite know how, but Axis, AL somehow manages to pick up 20.33" of rain in a 24 hour period, the state record for the area (obviously). I would love to know what happened here...but my best guess would be either a thunderstorm sat over them all day or, more likely, a stalled front "trained" storm after storm over the town.
