Summary
Friday’s thunderstorms dumped rain across Connecticut—with Southington leading at 0.72 inches—but paradoxically, much of the state still faced high wildfire risk Saturday, especially outside Litchfield, Fairfield, and New Haven counties. Meanwhile, over 5,000 homes lost power due to the storms, though most outages were resolved by Saturday morning. Data came from dedicated citizen volunteers via CoCoRaHS, highlighting how weather can be both wet and dangerously dry at the same time.
