Connecticut Weather Forecast: Warming Trend Over The Next Week

It won't exactly be beach weather this week in Connecticut but after being in a cold, wintry weather pattern for the past two weeks we'll definitely take the warmup. There will be several days this week where the 50s are possible. It does appear that there is no snow in the forecast so we're looking at a green, not white, Christmas.

There is also a chance for some rain on Friday, Saturday and Sunday but it will be way too warm for snow.

WTNH News 8 Meteorologist Gil Simmons said, "Here’s your instacast for Monday Early flurries & light mix in a few spots then just kind of damp & cloudy for the afternoon. Highs in the 30s inland to lower 40s shoreline. Warmer tomorrow then cold by Thursday only to warm back up Friday-Saturday. Looks like a green Christmas I hope it changes!"

FOX 61 Weather‏ said, "One. More. Chilly. Day. Keep saying that to keep your spirits up. Clouds will be on the increase late, and might even give way to some scattered snow flurries."
