I'm glad we are getting all this rain--it's much needed. I planted quite a few new pine trees in the wooded area of my back yard, and they could use the extra soaking. I read in the paper we are something like 4-5 inches below where we should be at this time of a normal year.

Thats correct. Hartford was exactly 4 inches below average for the year going into today (we'll catch up a bit after the storms roll through). The National Drought Mitigation Center released a map regarding drough conditions acorss the country and southwest CT was deemed abnormally dry. You can check it out here: US Drought Monitor
The upcoming pattern over the next week looks to be unsettled one. Hopefully we can catch up to where we need to be heading into the summer months.. |

Maybe we can make a CT weather sticky at the top?
It was hailing in Shelton about an hour ago. They were tiny, but hail nonetheless. Anyone else see it?

We didn't get hail where I am in Monroe (I'm on the Shelton border) but we did have thunder.

I heard thunder too. It was hailing at Sports Center hockey rinks near Stratford on 110 - crazy stuff! |

Thanks for the report kidyankee! I wrote in my forecast how we could see some hail with these storms. I didn't think the wind would make it down to the surface. Anyone experience high wind gusts? |

I was Hydroplaning on the Merrit at 2:15pm. Lightning was intense. I couldn't hear the thunder because the splashes were louder. It was instense but we gotta expect that now a days.
I wonder if they will create more drains on the parkway. I know some areas which get flooded pretty quick.

I like kidyankee's suggestion to make this a "sticky" at the top of the page.  |
