CT Station OBS sorted by Highs of the day.

First time BDL hit back to back 60°+ since October 15-16, 2013 (169 days ago)

Even a cold lover like myself really appreciated the warmth of today. I think I enjoy it since we drop to the 30s still. Nice break.

BDR having a communication issue.

Beautiful look at the Satellite and wind chills. Feels like 30s at lunchtime because of the cold waters off the coast

We're seeing it now.

One last look cause it's very "cool" to see. How often do we see water temps 35-40° this time of year?? Winds right off the water, clouds, and it feels like in the 30s April 4th afternoon. There's a chill in the air.

Yesterdays High Temps in the Northeast.

Temp hit 54° in northern CT. Didn't pass 43° at the SW coast. Sunshine had some to do with the areas that did hit 50s.

FYI ...

Bridgeport, CT (BDR) April mean temp is 43.1° which is 1.6 BELOW normal so far which is the coldest April mean.

Windsor Locks, CT(BDL) April mean is 46.5° which is 2.5 ABOVE normal

Still to early to plant. We drop below freezing in most locations tonight


A GRADUALLY DIMINISHING NW FLOW COMBINED WITH A DRYING AIR MASS WILL ALLOW TEMPS TO FALL BELOW FREEZING MOST LOCATIONS...ABOUT 5 TO 8 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL. WITH THE START OF THE GROWING SEASON FOR NYC...TEMPS WILL GET INTO THE MID 30S. HOWEVER...THERE SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT WIND AND LOW ENOUGH RH TO IMPEDE FROST FORMATION.

While we're mostly seasonable during the day you're right, we still drop near or below freezing at night so it's too cold for even Strawberries still. Give it another couple weeks.

Check out the temps so far.... Northern CT been steady with max temps 55-61° but coastal CT has been bouncing a lot. 1 day in 50s, next in the 40s, next day in 50s then next day in 40s.

GFS6z Data for Danbury, CT. Pretty status quo.

Seasonable days, chilly nights. No real sustained extremes either way still. Those double digits popping up like they are here is what I was looking for in March. I guess we got spoiled in recent years seeing 50s/60s in March. lol

The 9th & 10th keeps showing a chilly couple days. Looks like rain on the 8th, rain on the 12th, rain on the 15th, rain on the 21st. Might end up a wet April.
