CT Weather: 'Potent Storm' To Bring Heavy Rain This Weekend

Let's skip most of the weekend in Connecticut, and let's look ahead to Monday, at least from a weather standpoint. Almost-spring-like weather returns Monday with sunny skies and temps into the low 50s.

But of course, since we're heading into another weekend in Connecticut, we must be talking about another major rainstorm. As it does, seemingly every weekend, heavy rain is forecast to put a damper on outdoor plans.

Rain will begin Saturday evening and become very heavy through Sunday morning before tapering off. You'll also notice a major weather change on Sunday. Temps will climb to near 60 degrees.

There is no sign of accumulating snow in the forecast. There is a chance for some rain and snow showers on Friday afternoon in Connecticut, just rain though at the coast. It's not expected to be a big deal.
