….WHERE IS THE RAIN? IT’S COMING LATER TODAY….
So, looking at the forecast I issued on Saturday I figured that clouds and rain today would be a safe bet. Yeah, right. The system that will ultimately bring those two things to us today is a little slower getting here than anticipated.
We’ve got clear skies in eastern SNE to start the day but clouds are advancing from the SW and, by this afternoon there will be an increasing risk of showers and thunderstorms.
In fact, the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has us in their marginal risk area for severe thunderstorms today.
A marginal risk isn’t THAT much of a risk but it’s also not zero risk so as rain and thunderstorms develop today there is a chance that some of these storms could contain hail, high winds, and frequent lightning. Definitely be on the lookout for that today.
A new Southern New England forecast will be released this afternoon.
