Good Monday all-
We have a very, very interesting week of weather ahead of us this week and it's going to be a wild ride for the next week or so. Today is a wonderful, wonderful day with highs in the mid 50s and bright sunshine, but enjoy it while it lasts. Tomorrow will be even warmer, but rain is likely from about tomorrow morning until Wednesday at about noon. Beyond that, thankfully, we clear things out, but see temperatures plummet, which sets up a very interesting scenario for the weekend. First off, a clipper system is going to come close to Connecticut on Friday. Models disagree on the extent that this will bother us- one model says nothing, another says 2-5" of snow for Friday. I believe each option is roughly equally likely...so I won't officially forecast anything yet. A bigger concern potentially lies on Sunday or Monday, when a monster coastal storm is going to make a run at us. At the moment...it appears that New Jersey could get absolutely crushed by this system with up to a foot of snow. Exactly how far north the system makes it makes a large impact as to whether our state receives 2-4" or a foot or more of snow...so we'll be watching it closely. It's a very active time here in CT...so let's see what happens!
Today in weather history- March 6, 1954- Milton, FL picks up the state record snowfall of 4". Additionally, Tallahassee ties their daily record of 2.1"- yes, it's absolutely possible (very unusual and tough to do, but not impossible!!)
