Manchester's Latest Memorial Day Weekend Forecast

A lot of people have barbecues planned with family and friends this Memorial Day weekend, and many others have plans to attend ceremonies and parades honoring those who died while serving in the country’s armed forces.

It’s clear from the latest National Weather Service forecast that Sunday is the best day to have outdoor plans as temperatures around Connecticut will be in the mid to upper 70s and skies will be sunny.

Saturday isn’t bad either, just a bit chillier with temperatures in the mid to high 60s but again, it will be sunny.

Earlier this week, thunderstorms and showers were forecast for Memorial Day itself, which is when numerous ceremonies and parades are scheduled.

The good news is, it appears the showers will hold off until Monday evening, and while it will be mostly cloudy, there won’t be any rain during the day. Temperatures will be in the mid to upper 70s on Monday.

It appears showers are possible for Monday night and just in time for back to work and school on Tuesday.

Have a great holiday weekend!
