The Sun Returns in Hamden's Work Week Forecast

By Brian McCready

After a week of hiding, the sun finally returned on Sunday afternoon. The good news is it will remain for a while before it goes back to hiding just in time for part of the weekend.

But the work week forecast is better across the board. There will be plenty of sun and the temps will approach 70 degrees for much of the week. Last week we were stuck in the 50s for the most part and dealing with showers every day.

Here is the detailed 7-day forecast via the National Weather Service:

• Monday: Mostly sunny as the day progresses with temps near 70 degrees. It will be windy with gusts approaching 25 mph at times.
• Monday night: Chilly with temps near 40 on the shoreline and mid 30s in interior sections of Connecticut.
• Tuesday: Sunshine, temps near 70 degrees.
• Tuesday night: Not as cold with temps in the mid 40s.
• Wednesday: Sunshine with temps in the upper 60s near the water and low 70s inland.
• Wednesday night: Temps near 50 on the coast and mid 40s inland.
• Thursday: More sunshine with temps near 70 on the shore and mid 70s inland.
• Thursday night: Temps around 50 degrees.
• Friday: Showers and possibly thunderstorms move in, temps in the low 60s.

The weekend:

Right now it looks like Sunday is the better weather day. On Saturday more showers and thunderstorms with temps in the mid 60s and on Sunday, partly sunny skies with temps near 60 degrees.
