Manchester's Weekday Forecast Includes Spring-Like Temps and Some Rain

By BRIAN MCCREADY (Patch Staff)

After another gorgeous, sometimes chilly weekend, it’s back to work and school for most of us.

There’s a chance of isolated showers in the afternoon and evening Monday, then Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday look like amazing spring days.

Nothing but bright sunshine and temps in the low to mid 60s, and on Wednesday temps could reach into the high 60s.

By Thursday night and lasting into Friday, we could be dealing with rain (there’s a 30 percent chance), but right on cue for the weekend, it looks like it’s back to sunshine and mid 60s to low 70s.

All in all not bad.
