Rainy Pattern in April Continues Into May

The last two days could not be any more different weatherwise in southwestern Connecticut. Rain continues to fall early this afternoon, and the temperature is 45 degrees F along the Mill River on Brookside Drive in Fairfield, which is the normal high temperature for March 10.


Today marks the seventh day with measured rain this month (58% of days) and the 26th day since April 1 (62% of days) with measured rain in southwestern Connecticut. Here's a look at the Samp Mortar Dam on Brookside Drive in Fairfield.


Yesterday, meanwhile, was just about picture-perfect across the region. The daytime high temperature was 70 degrees, which occurred just after 3 p.m. EDT, and the sky was deep and blue for most of the day.


Today, though, is a different story. Just take a look at the radar as of early this afternoon.
