10/21- Rain

Happy Friday everyone!

Today is going to be a miserable wet day, although exactly how much remains to be seen. It's a torrential downpour right now in Naugatuck, and I am honestly kind of surprised, though it is wonderful as we really need the rain! That said, tomorrow night could be interesting as snow is possible in the higher elevations as the storm departs to our north. Temperatures will be plummeting as well- highs will only be in the 50s for both tomorrow and Sunday before we get a touch warmer for Monday...and then have our coldest stretch of the season thus far Tuesday and Wednesday- some towns will probably not touch 50 on those days, especially in the Litchfield hills. Some showers or flurries are possible Tuesday night as well!

The Atlantic is quiet, but two systems in the Pacific have some chance of development over the weekend.

Today in weather history- October 21, 1988- Hurricane Joan makes a final landfall in Nicaragua as a category 3 storm, killing 200 people and doing $1.5 billion (1988USD) in damage. The storm took a very odd path- practically due west from the southern Antillies, never moving one degree above or below 12 degrees latitude.
