The fire chief said a tree in the backyard was struck by lightning, which created a two-foot wide trench that went from the tree to the house. on.nbcboston.com/W0Fme3d

Some lovely captures to share with you this Wednesday AA. Diane in New Preston with the steeple, Carol in Niantic with the sunrise, and the same idea with the moon showing up from Heather in Wallingford. Beautiful start to the day!

Today's weather is really nice and mild....TOMORROW'S is looking amazing! Tons of sun with highs flirting with records! Days like these are very rare in November, so take a moment and get outside.

Is something brewing? We haven't seen a drop of rain in 2+ weeks, but that looks to change by Thursday. There might be something tropical developing to our south and whatever it is might connect with a frontal boundary near us. Maybe it will pour!

Gusty winds, no rain for two weeks, and available fuel means that we have an ELEVATED FIRE DANGER today. Be extra careful with anything that could spark a blaze, including a fire pit this evening.

It was a mild, fair start to the day and it will end up being really nice today! Lots of sun, a developing wind, and mild temps. We got some great pics from Redding (Dave) and East Hampton (Tom).

A bit of stubborn stratocumulus clouds are hanging around NW CT this morning...these will dissipate in the next few hours. Lower sun angle doesn't help much in late Oct.
