Connecticut's Weekend Weather Forecast: Feeling Like Spring Finally

A week before Memorial Day weekend in Connecticut and it appears we’re finally going to enjoy at least a week of spring weather. After smashing records for high temperatures the past two days in Connecticut, we’re headed for a significant cool-down that will make it feel more like spring than summer over the coming week.

The summer heat continues on Friday with sunny skies and temps in the mid to upper 80s and there is a chance for an isolated thunderstorm later today, according to the National Weather Service.

However, we can expect the weather to be more seasonal this weekend with plenty of sun and temps in the upper 60s to low 70s. Rain makes its return to the forecast on Monday. (SIGN UP: Get Patch's Daily Newsletter and Real Time News Alerts. Or, if you have an iPhone, download the free Patch app.)

WTNH News 8 Meteorologist Gil Simmons wrote, “Another summer day today! Mainly sunny skies with warm temperatures near 90 at the Shoreline mid to upper 80s inland. Might see a quick shower or thunderstorm between one and 4 PM today! Most of Connecticut will stay dry. Less humid for the afternoon with a gorgeous Friday evening. Sunshine for the weekend with high temperatures each day around 70. There will be some cool nights and mornings with a few upper 30s possible on Sunday morning. It looks like rain on Monday.”
