4/27- Pretty nice, chilly

Good Wednesday all-

Today is going to be a beautiful day, with temps in the low 60s and clearing conditions as the cold front that gave us the rain yesterday moves further off to our south. Amazingly, similar conditions are likely to prevail through the weekend and into early next week. It looks like right around May 6 is the final hurrah for the cold though. It'll be chilly- some models even show snow showers in the very highest elevations- but then it seems a huge ridge of high pressure will set up and we will be dry and much, much warmer, though this is well over a week out so we have to be careful because things can (and probably will) change.

My apologies for not posting yesterday- I literally just forgot.

Congratulations to Trump and Clinton on winning the primary here in Connecticut!

Today in weather history- April 27, 2011- The 'Super Outbreak'- the strongest tornado outbreak in history clobbers Alabama, Mississippi, and Georgia, dropping 11 EF4 tornadoes and 4 EF5 twisters, an incredible number as you can be lucky to have a single EF5 in years...in fact, there was a period from May 3, 1999 to May 4, 2007- a period of almost exactly eight years- without a single F5 or EF5 tornado.
