Stonington, Mystic's Memorial Day Weekend Forecast: 2 Out of 3 Days Look Good

Remember those unseasonably cool days we experienced this spring? They're now a distant memory, as temps have been in the 70s and 80s this week.

Some parts of Connecticut will be in the 90s this Memorial Day weekend. It won’t be a washout, but if you have cook-outs and barbecues planned, it seems that Saturday and Sunday are the preferred days, based on the latest National Weather Service forecast.

There is a chance of showers and thunderstorms each day this weekend, but the greatest chance for rain is actually on Memorial Day afternoon for all of Connecticut.

Here is a detailed look at the latest National Weather Service forecast:

• Friday: Partly sunny, 20-percent chance of showers and thunderstorms, temps in the low 80s on the shore and upper 80s inland.

• Saturday: Partly sunny, no rain is forecast during the day. Temps, mid-80s on the shore and around 90 degrees inland.

• Saturday night: A slight chance of showers and thunderstorms with temps in the mid-60s.

• Sunday: Slight chance of showers and thunderstorms possible after 10 a.m.; partly sunny skies and temps in the low 80s on the shoreline but into the low-90s in northern Connecticut.

• Sunday night: Increasing chance of showers and thunderstorms after 10 p.m. with temps near the mid-60s.

• Monday: Mostly cloudy skies, showers likely after 2 p.m. and a chance of showers until around 10 p.m. Cooler, with temps back into the mid-70s. In northern Connecticut, rain may be heavy at times on Memorial Day.
