Stormy Weather, Rain Possible For Days In Connecticut's Upcoming Forecast

This year summer wasn’t overly warm in Connecticut but it looks like fall is trying to make up for that. We’re headed back into another warm stretch as temps will approach 80 degrees and it will feel very humid this weekend in Connecticut.

The weekend looks mainly dry with Saturday definitely the better of the two days, as more sun is expected Saturday and some showers and thunderstorms are possible Sunday, especially in the morning.

Once Sunday rolls around, we’re looking at several days of showers and potentially thunderstorms from Sunday through Tuesday night. The rain is once again needed as a large part of the state is considered “abnormally dry.”

WTNH News 8 Meteorologist Gil Simmons wrote, “Happy Friday! It is a good looking forecast for today with sun and some clouds high temperature 75 to around 80. A little more humidity will start sneaking in on Saturday with sun and clouds high temperatures around 80. Sunday may start with a sprinkle or quick shower and then drying out for the afternoon with highs in the 70s. I do want you ready for rain early next week! Have a great day and a great weekend!”
