Month-By-Month Spring/Summer Forecast Released For CT
Cooler temps will prevail through May, the Weather Channel says in its latest long-term forecast. Here's a look at the next 3 months:
The Weather Channel has released its newest long-range forecast for the next three months, saying the start of spring for Connecticut could continue to be chillier than normal. But by June, expect things to warm up as normal.
Connecticut and the East Coast can expect temperatures to be cooler or close to average through May. With June, though, comes warmth. Temperatures will be normal and even above average temperatures at that time, according to the Weather Channel's predictions.
The three-month outlook forecast was released over the weekend. In it, the Weather Channel predicts early summer will be like last year, when temperatures were "fairly tame," running near or below average.
