Good Wednesday all-
A FLOOD WATCH is up for all of Connecticut.
Oh boy, tomorrow going to be a wet one! Thankfully though, we do get a one day break in the weather with partly cloudy skies during the day today as we get into a lull in the activity between the two systems. Highs will finally actually be a bit above normal, perhaps reaching the lower 60s, but tomorrow looks horrendous, with torrential rains all day and highs in the low 50s. This could be accompanied by some thunderstorms as well, and we likely will be stuck with some showers through both Friday and Saturday. All in all, I believe that most of Connecticut will see 1-2" of rain, with locally higher amounts. That's not great...but what is great is the weather early next week, when it looks as though temperatures could approach not 70 but 80 degrees!
There is likely to be a major tornado outbreak today in the area called 'Dixie Alley', which is northern sections of Alabama, Mississippi, and Georgia. Keep them in your thoughts today.
With no snow in sight, I am ready to conclude the 2016-17 winter with a snowfall review. The winter was a strange one, because we would get a fair amount of snow, it would melt, we'd get more, etc. So where did we end up? Well, BDL's total snowfall was 60", which is 20" above average and is close to the all-time top 10. It doesn't necessarily feel like it right? When you think about it though, any time we get five named storms in a winter is likely to be above average in terms of snowfall, and we had two storms that dropped a foot or two of snow on the state (Chris and Eugene).
