6/30- Fine today as we say goodbye to June, severe tomorrow?

Good Thursday all-

Today is going to be an absolutely beautiful day. albeit a bit warm for many people's taste. It's looking like the high 80s are in the offing for today, with perhaps a town or two in far northern Connecticut striking the 90 degree mark briefly during the afternoon hours. Tomorrow, however, I am concerned about severe weather as a cold front approaches at the perfect time from the west. Although I believe the highest risk will be just barely off to our west...I cannot rule out hail and damaging winds. Thankfully, there is no precipitation in the forecast until Tuesday, but that could be a soaker if things come together with the storm track. That's something I will be watching closely, but please be aware that it's not out of the realm of possibility that Tuesday is a complete washout.

In the tropics, no development is expected in the Atlantic, and the status of the low in the Pacific tht I discussed yesterday has not changed whatsoever.

Today in weather history- June 30, 1989- Winnfield, LA records 22.52" of rain in a 3 day period, and over 30" for the month of June. By comparison, the average annual rainfall at BDL is 46.16"...so nearly half of that fell in 3 days!
