Connecticut's Rainfall: A Tale of Two Counties

0:00It's April 27. From your city to your ears, this is Hartford News Today, powered by AI. Most of Connecticut saw just light showers on Saturday, with a bulk of the state pulling in less than one inch of rain through the day. Data from the Community Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow Network, or Cocoa Raw HS, show Stanford and Fairfield County top the list at 1.5, 6 inches. Only 3 spots out of 48 tracked hit, or topped 1 inch, all huddled in that same Fairfield County area, Norwalk at 1.26 inches, and Fairfield right at 1 inch. Everywhere else stayed pretty tame. A bunch of towns landed between 0.40 and 0.70 inches, like Bethel at 0.79, Bristol at half an inch, in places like Glacenbury and Mystic around 0.46. No major flooding or drama reported from residents. Cocoa Raw HS tallied these numbers by Sunday morning at 7am, giving a clear snapshot after those on and off showers.

1:01Lighter spots like Newington, got just 0.18 inches, while Willemantic and Suffield hovered near 0.27. Lingering clouds and a few showers could stick around Sunday as that frontal system eases offshore, but spring sun should break through soon after. Keep an eye on the forecast if you're planning outdoors.
