Monday's slow-moving storms dumped two-plus inches of rain about 40 miles west of Providence in central Connecticut. The storms were stronger, but equally sluggish, even farther to the west. One storm, plodded along in Bergen County, NJ dumping much more than just rain. The storm produced several inches of hail. Margie O'Brien has the story. Click the video link.
June Update
The weather will not significantly improve in the next six days. In fact, after Wednesday, it does not look very good for a four to five day stretch from Thursday into next week. It won't be terrible that whole time, but odds are temperatures will be running a bit cooler than normal, and we'll see more showers.
How often have we seen showers? Today marks the eighth straight day with at least a trace of rain. So far in June, 14 of the 16 days have featured some rain. Overall, the streak is at 18 out of the last 21 days. Having said all that, we have not had an abundance of rain. We are very close to the normal total precipitation so far this June. We'll probably end up above normal for the month due to the rain we are going to see between Thursday and Monday.
I don't see any huge warm-up in the next 10 days, and neither does the Climate Prediction Center. This is the outlook for June 22-26.
The cool weather sticks around in the Northeast
FYI - There is nothing going on in the tropics, and the last two weeks of June are typically very quiet.
