Yep, was thinking that yesterday as the house got down to 65 and I kicked the heat on. What a cold miserable 3-day weekend.

That’s great to hear! Hoping it makes it rapidly NE…although I should have the sane weather as you do currently, since I’m SW CT too lmao…and it’s still raining here at the moment.

There’s another line of showers in E NY state that still has to come thru . Gonna be mid afternoon here and evening ENE till it’s dry and sunnier

except that the trees will be dripping through 4 pm LOL

So good haha. That movie is pure comedic genius in every way.

it's over here and the sun is trying to poke out-we're up to 60-definitely going to verify warm and dry here from here on out.

SW CT is basically Fairfield County

1/2” so far today, after 1/2” yesterday. closing in on 4” MTD. Saturday was decent here, yesterday rain all day. Lovely weekend, raining pretty good this morning, but it appears to be getting brighter out

Tropical downpour moving thru. That makes 3 out of the last 4 days with significant rain.

models keep insisting ...some more aggressively so than others, that the rains end and the sky parts over the next 3 hours, west to east. Even some hints at a rapid temp recovery. we'll see. Right now this band appears to be over performing compared to the NAM/Euro.

Trace of precipitation yesterday. Rivers are dropping fast around here. Heat is parked overhead

GYX has those posted essentially every day from mid-may to mid-june.

Always fun to revisit our favorite climate alarmist - Mr. Al Gore to see how his "predictions" from The Inconvenient Truth have done with now 20 years of real data to assess his accuracy. Ice-Free Arctic Summers: Gore claimed there was a 75% chance the north polar ice cap would be completely ice-free in summer within five to seven years (by 2013-2016). The Arctic sea ice minimums have fluctuated but persist. Disappearing Snows of Kilimanjaro: He predicted that by 2016, Africa’s Mount Kilimanjaro would have no more snow. Measurable snow and glaciers remain on the mountain. Melting Glacier National Park: The film claimed that by 2021, Glacier National Park would lose all of its glaciers. The park's glaciers have shrunk, but they are still present, prompting changes to park signage. Escalating Hurricane Frequency: The documentary argued that global warming would cause a dramatic increase in the frequency and severity of hurricanes. Global data shows no trend of increasing frequency, and global accumulated cyclone energy has remained highly variable without a net upward trajectory.

Southington is def not SW CT I wouldn't even consider Waterbury as being in SW CT...probably more so getting towards Southbury

Had at least a 70% chance of rain every day since Thursday so going on 5 days and have only recorded measurable rainfall twice

Well your first mistake is saying that my area is SW CT…anybody who knows my area knows this is not even close to SW CT. SW of you For sure…but not SW CT. WOR Central CT is the accurate location. It was raining everywhere west of the river by Saturday morning. So your call was way off in that regard. East and Northeast areas, where you are managed to stay dry. But for the majority of CT it was a wet Saturday.

Heat kicked on this morning

Ya we gotta be over 2” here…a big soaker for sure.

Temps evened out after the heat prior, imagine that. Some are too slow to understand. .15" additional rain, 1.80" total
