4:00 PM Update: NWS corrects BDL time of record high to 2:16 PM.
3:35 PM Update: BDL reached a record high of 92 degrees at 1:16 PM this afternoon.
Just stepped out for a sample of today’s weather and I’d say it’s one of the most comfortable 90 degree days I can recall. Yes, BDL has tied their record high of 90 degrees as of 2 PM. However, with a nice breeze (at least in the south-facing openings in Hartford) and some high clouds filtering the sun somewhat, I though it felt pretty nice (easy to say being back here in the A/C, I guess). There is a seabreeze working up from the south. GON dropped 4 degrees the past hour to 65. Meriden dropped a couple to 83. Harford’s temp remained unchanged the past hour.
Today is the peak of the current warm spell. There are 2 cold fronts getting ready to move through our region. One comes through tonight, the other during the
NAM Forecast 2 PM Tuesday
day tomorrow. It appears that they will come through dry, though we could really use the rain. I think lows tonight will average 55-60 under a clear to partly cloudy sky and highs Tuesday reach about 75-80, with mostly sunny conditions. Temps will stay in the 60′s Wednesday with a mix of sun & clouds. Might not see any rain until the weekend.
