Darien's Weekend Weather Forecast Includes Plenty of Sun

By BRIAN MCCREADY (Patch Staff)

It’s not perfect, but we’re looking at a pretty nice weather weekend.

We’ll deal with some gray skies on Friday and a slight chance of showers each day of the weekend. The high temperature will be around 60 degrees.

Saturday is the best day of the weekend. The forecast calls for mostly sunny skies, temps in the mid 60s with a light wind. It will be a bit chilly Saturday night with temps back into the mid 40s.

On Sunday there is a very slight rain chance after 12 p.m. but plenty of sunshine is also predicted. The good news is the temps will be near 70 degrees.
