CT Weather: More Rain Friday, Better Weather This Weekend

Connecticut will see more rain on Friday but the weekend weather forecast looks amazing for Saturday, while there may be some rain showers late Saturday and early Sunday. Definitely, the best weekend day is Saturday. Sunday won't be a washout though and the sun will appear later in the day.

The National Weather Service says, "Rain will arrive from southwest to northeast during the mid to late morning on Friday. The rain may be briefly heavy in some locations, with the rain tapering off late in the day. Temperatures will range from the upper 50s to lower 60s. Clouds will remain during Friday night with areas of fog developing."

"Some sun is expected to develop Saturday morning, followed by clouds and the risk of scattered showers for the afternoon and evening. Temperatures will be near normal with highs mainly in the middle to upper 60s, with slightly cooler conditions across immediate coastal sections," the National Weather Service says.

By the middle of next week temps may approach 80 degrees and it will begin to feel more like summer.
