Today is going to be a pretty nice day all in all as we wrap up mid-January with partly sunny skies and temps in the mid 40s...for pretty much all of the next seven days(!!!) The only trouble spot appears to be Monday...but that's a really significant issue. Not only will there be absolutely torrential rains (likely 2-4" worth), but the winds will really be howling out of the east, which could result in some moderate coastal flooding, especially on eastern-facing beaches, such as the western shore of New Haven Harbor and places similar to that across the state. This has been consistently shown on the models for several days now...so my confidence in this scenario is high. We do need the rain, but it sure won't feel good with highs struggling to 40 and pouring rain. It's possible we could start with some ice on Monday morning, but I do not believe that will be too big of a deal except in the very highest of elevations. I certainly hope my instinct is right about that!
^^^Yikes! GFS showing a very intense rainstorm for Monday and Tuesday.
Today in weather history- January 19, 1977- For the first, and to date only time on record, snowfall is observed in Miami Beach and Homestead, FL. Such an event is absolutely unbelievable, and was likely associated with an absolutely monstrous dip in the jet stream that allowed very cold Canadian air to rush into the state. What a shock that must have been for the people that lived there!
