CT Weather: Weekend Forecast Looks Much Better

When it comes to the weather we were more than due for a break and that is what we're going to get for the most part this weekend. Earlier this week, it appeared the upcoming weekend would be mostly cloudy, rainy and possibly stormy, but the outlook has since improved significantly.

Sure we may see a thunderstorm or two in some areas on Saturday, but the chances are very slim, around 20 to 30 percent. And the sun is expected on both Saturday and Sunday with temps in the upper 70s to around 80 degrees on Saturday and around room temperature on Sunday along the coast and upper 70s in inland sections.

Friday also looks great too with plenty of sunshine. And a peak ahead at next week's weather shows nothing but sunshine through Thursday.
