Rain, Thunderstorms and a Cooldown All in West Haven's Weekend Forecast

By Brian McCready

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

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!”
