The light at the end of the tunnel is upon us. Although we don't quite reach 80 today, it'll be far better than what we have experienced lately with highs reaching the upper 70s instead of the 60s. Sunshine will be the norm during the day today, although I would call the sky condition today to be partly cloudy. By tomorrow, we cool things down a bit to the low 70s- but that's just a brief stint. The problem with tomorrow's complex forecast is this-
^^^06z GFS showing a major nor'easter missing CT but only just barely
Exactly where that ends up will play a big role in our forecast, but it seems reasonable that at least eastern Connecticut will likely see some shower activity during the day tomorrow. Then on Saturday, we clear things out and go to the mid-80s on a stepping stone to a heat wave that ultimately culminates with the mid-90s by Tuesday. A cold front Tuesday night should decrease the temperature back into the 80s for Wednesday. The timing of that front is important, as a well-timed front could set off a round of severe weather Tuesday evening.
The Atlantic & Pacific basins are both quiet this morning.
Today in weather history- June 8, 1966- In an example of a storm that would be far more remembered if it happened today, a large tornado strikes downtown Topeka, KS, damaging or totalling many buildings on its' 8 mile long path. Sixteen people are killed in the event, which would likely be at least tripled if it occurred today.
