Good Tuesday all-
It's cold, really cold out there this morning. Parts of Connecticut have experienced a frost overnight, which is absolutely incredible for May 10, but hey that happens sometimes. Thankfully, it is not going to be cold during the days to come- by Thursday, we are likely to have highs in the 80s in at least parts of Connecticut- and until then we're looking at partly sunny skies and increases in temperature each day. The next chance of precipitation is Friday night, when thunderstorms are likely as a cold front moves through. I cannot even rule out severe weather from this system...but I am not particularly concerned at the current time. By and large, the weekend looks dry, albeit very cold (the GFS suggests we will be stuck in the 50s)...but one model, the GFS...on Sunday night...actually produces snow showers across the state. Although not very likely by any means...this would be the latest snowfall ever recorded at BDL if that occurs.
Thoughts & prayers go out to those effected by the tornadoes yesterday in Oklahoma.
There are just 5 days until the Pacific Hurricane Season, which begins on Sunday.
There are 22 days until the Atlantic Hurricane Season
Today in weather history- May 10, 1905- A violent tornado strikes Snyder, OK, killing some 97 people while producing a roar that reports suggest could be heard twelve miles away from the storm. Although there are no official records by any means about how far off a tornado's roar could be heard...this has to be a pretty rare event in and of itself.
