​Rain, Thunderstorms and a Cool-Down All in the Hartford Weekend Forecast

Ironically things could go from the 70s in some spots to a few changes.

If you can, enjoy the warm weather in Connecticut where we’ll see sunshine develop and temps will range between 60 and 70 degrees. But things begin to change on Saturday as rain and possibly even thunderstorms move in Saturday afternoon/evening and there is a cool-down on Sunday too.

But one thing remains constant in the 7-day weather forecast, still no snow chances through next Thursday at the very least, according to the National Weather Service.

WTNH News 8 Meteorologist Gil Simmons wrote, “It's an incredible forecast! High temperatures today between 60° and 70°! It will be colder near Long Island sound. I'm expecting more clouds tomorrow with the rain holding off until Saturday evening. Windy and colder with a bright sky on Sunday!”

Here’s the updated forecast via the National Weather Service:

Friday: Well Gil Simmons called it by saying it’s an “incredible” weather day with temps near 60 on the coast and nearly 70 inland with sunshine.

Saturday: 50 percent chance of showers in the early afternoon and fog develops. Showers more likely Saturday evening and a thunderstorm is possible too. Winds could gust to nearly 30 mph Saturday evening too. Stormy weather is possible through midnight Saturday.

Sunday: Cooldown begins as high temps around 40 inland and mid 40s at the coast. But plenty of sunshine.

Monday: Mostly sunny and a high in the upper 40s.

Tuesday and Wednesday look rainy right now.
