As of 1pm today, this month became both our wettest March ever and also our second wettest month ever with a total of 13.63 inches and the rain still falling.
Records are falling all around southern New England including monthly records set in Providence, Hartford and Worcester. And the rain is still falling.
These 3 storms that we have had in the past 3 weeks have been quite historic to say the least. This is still considered our "cool season" and rainfall like we have seen is very rare this early into our spring pattern.
What does that mean for the rest of the season? I have no idea. Usually, despite the atmosphere being a dynamic fluid system, things tend to even themselves out after an abnormal event. That will certainly be the case later this week as we tap into some very mild and more importantly dry air. More on that later.
For now, all eyes turn to rivers, streams and basements. The rain may have lightened up, but the serious flooding has yet to begin.
