Weekend Weather Includes Showers, Thunderstorms For Northern CT

HARTFORD/TOLLAND COUNTY, CT — The weekend weather forecast looks a bit iffy as we'll be dodging some rain showers and the chance for a thunderstorm or two.

The weekend doesn't look like a washout or anything, and we also really need the rain too. The best chance for rain appears to be Saturday evening and night and then less of a chance for rain and storms on Sunday.

Saturday looks to be mostly cloudy while Sunday appears to be somewhat brighter. We could see up to a half inch of rain on Saturday.
