Well, the news for today in the weather world is almost exactly the same as yesterday, although it will likely be at least somewhat dryer. That said, scattered shower activity is highly likely throughout the day, with the chances particularly increasing the longer we go, eventually developing into a brief period (2-4 hrs) of steady rain later on tonight into tomorrow morning. Beyond that, we look to finally bust out of this pattern by early next week, with highs potentially approaching 80 by midweek, but it's getting there that the problem is. The worst day appears to be Friday at this time, which has the potential to be a total washout as a low spins near the coastline of New Jersey. A deep trough will follow that, likely causing extremely cold temperatures Sunday night- some areas in the higher elevations will probably freeze! A pretty interesting week continues today, so let's go on!
Today in weather history- May 4, 1812- The worst nightmare for us New Englanders- a perfectly timed nor'easter with frigid air in place yields a horrifically late season snowstorm from Philly to Maine, dropping as much as ten inches on Boston. Oof. The only storm comparable to this would be 5/12/77- which is the latest snowfall ever recorded at BDL.
There are 11 days until the Pacific Hurricane Season
There are 28 days until the Atlantic Hurricane Season.
May the fourth be with you today, and always.
