Connecticut Weather: Finally, A Good Forecast

This is a forecast we've not only earned but more importantly deserve after two months of ridiculously cold weather followed by snow and ice seemingly every other day. Connecticut will enjoy a warmup this weekend that will continue for the next week or so. We will be seeing precipitation in the forecast but it will be rain on Monday and Tuesday.

Temperatures look above freezing for the next 10 days or so and there is no snow chances in the forecast, as of now, and we know how often that changes quickly. But in the short-term, enjoy the great winter weekend with temps in the mid to upper 40s and plenty of sunshine.

Meteorologist Kevin Arnone said, "More cold today but temperatures will slowly moderate to near 50 for the weekend. Watching for rain Monday."

Darren Sweeney NBCCT‏V said, "For the first time, in a long time, I can finally call a day "seasonable". Today will be close to or just above average in terms of temps, enjoy!"

FOX 61 Weather‏ said a "Few light showers Monday afternoon which may start as a wintry mix in spots. Then a wind-swept rain on Tuesday. Temps could approach 50!"

We'll worry about Tuesday on Tuesday, for now let's enjoy the weekend.
