First Look At Connecticut's Labor Day Weekend Weather Forecast

Headed into Labor Day weekend last year, much of Connecticut was facing a Tropical Storm Warning, which fortunately only caused windy conditions and almost no rain. For this upcoming Labor Day weekend the weather looks pretty quiet with mainly dry conditions forecast for the three-day holiday weekend.

But before we get to the three-day holiday weekend, we have one more work week and a return to school for many students across Connecticut. As of right now, there is a less than 50 percent chance of rain showers on Tuesday, Tuesday night, Wednesday morning and Thursday afternoon.

Around the rain and thunderstorm chances, you can expect sunny skies and comfortable temps this week leading into the holiday forecast. (To sign up for free, local breaking news alerts from more than 100 Connecticut communities click here.)
