CT Rain Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 "Much below normal" streamflow continues in and around the Tolland County area. Not a surprise given that the current streamflows are compared to historic streamflows for this date. If you were to compare current streamflows to typical late summer/early fall streamflows they'd be above average in most cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quincy Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Showers are falling apart. Looks like not much rainfall today, outside of SW CT. A few heavier downpours may clip that area over the next few hours. Tomorrow looks mostly dry and even Saturday may not yield all that much rain if the latest model data is correct... Kevin @TollandKev5m @danburyweather Our fears coming true. I was afraid of this.
