CT Weather: When To Expect Rain, Storms Memorial Day Weekend

Memorial Day weekend is a time when there are a lot of outdoor ceremonies, parades and cookouts planned and honestly, this weather forecast could be a lot better than it is. But it's not a complete washout either.

There have been some changes to the three-day holiday weekend forecast. Saturday still appears sunny into the afternoon but clouds will move in and showers and thunderstorms are now likely Saturday night and through Sunday around noon before it dries out.

Rain showers may hold out longer up north with showers possible until Sunday evening. The good news is that Memorial Day is now expected to be dry but featuring a lot of clouds. And of course Tuesday looks great with plenty of sun and temps near 90 degrees.

The temps on Sunday will be chilly with high temps only in the mid 60s. Temps will moderate a bit on Monday.
