Danbury Meteorologist Calls for Rain and Love Muffins

Jack Drake is a meteorologist who covers the Western Connecticut region and has gained quite a following for his consistently accurate weather forecasts. As an independent voice in the field, he's become a trusted source for many.

He's also our go-to correspondent for all things weather-related on the I-95 Morning Show, especially when storms are brewing. Jack is generous enough to be "on call" for us, and when I get a text from him, I know it means something serious is on the horizon. The last time he reached out, it was to warn us about a massive snowstorm heading our way.

Well, he texted me again on Monday (04/05/25), and I had a feeling this was going to be special. Actually, “special” doesn’t even begin to cover it. Jack told me he had something that was right up my alley—he sent over screenshots of a rainstorm he’d been tracking, along with the online buzz it was generating. He said, “This is Lou Milano content,” and honestly, I couldn’t agree more.

This is the weather graphic that got his followers going wild.

Can you guess what came next?

Jennifer V.S. said: "oh the humidity." 

Mathew S. responded saying: "I mean they do call it Mother Nature." - Well-crafted sir!

Then, Robert Rivera threw a haymaker posting the following photo:

These are my kind of people—fully functioning adults who still find time in their busy lives to laugh at the absurdity of “boobies” and anything that even slightly resembles them.

Boobies. I’m just so glad they’re back… LA-LA-LA.

Alternatives to Boobies include but are not limited to:

• Love Muffins
• Snuggle Puffs
• Fraternal Twins (meditate on it, you'll get it)
• Cash Money Millionaires
• Woody and Buzz

Alright, enough nonsense—let’s get serious! What was that graphic really showing? Here’s another look, along with Jack’s helpful breakdown.

Jack explained that what we’re looking at is something called an “Omega Block.” It’s a weather pattern named after the Greek letter omega (Ω), because of the way it appears on weather maps. Basically, the jet stream forms a big loop, creating a ridge of high pressure in the middle, with low-pressure troughs on either side. Those two troughs—yes, the ones that resemble lady parts—can pull moisture northward, often leading to extended periods of rain and, sometimes, flooding.

And that’s where he lost me.

I was ready to move on and act like an adult… until he said it “drives moisture” and “causes flooding.” Come on, man.

P.S. Here's the thing about childish behavior: kids are awesome. Maybe we should all act a little more like them now and then.
