New Details On Today's Ugly Weather And CT's Weekend Forecast

CONNECTICUT — If there is going to be rain in the forecast it might as well be during the work week as opposed to the weekend. And that is what is predicted for Connecticut.

Rain will move into Connecticut by the evening commute home, and there may be an isolated spot, especially in far northern parts of the state, that might see a brief mix of sleet, snow and rain. The rain will fall through the evening hours and overnight but should end early Saturday.

It will take some time for the sun to appear Saturday but the day will get better in the afternoon. Sunday looks almost perfect, and then more rain is forecast for Monday. The rain should be falling by the morning commute Monday.

We will notice some big changes today concerning the temperatures. It will feel almost winter-like.

"Temperatures today will be noticeably cooler, with highs only in the upper 30s to lower 40s, about 10 to 15 degrees below normal. After nearly steady or slowly rising temperatures tonight, highs on Saturday will rebound into the upper 50s to mid 60s," the National Weather Service says.
