Tuesday Rain Pushes Monthly Total Close to Seven Inches

A strong thunderstorm moved across southwestern Connecticut late Tuesday afternoon, bringing pockets of heavy rain, gusty winds, and vivid lightning.

Slightly more than one-third of an inch of rain was recorded at the Bridgeport climate station at Sikorksy Memorial Airport.


That brought the monthly total to 6.73 inches, which is 4.16 inches above normal through July 25. In fact, eleven days this month have featured at least one-hundredth of an inch of rain; 10 days have featured at least one-tenth of an inch of rain; five days brought at least a half-inch of rain; and four days produced at least one inch of rain.

More rain is expected from thunderstorms late Thursday and late Saturday, potentially pushing the monthly total to more than seven inches.
