Mansfield-Storrs Weekend Weather Forecast Includes Plenty to Like with Possible Friday Frost

By Barbara Heins and Brian McCready

This winter we had seven straight weekends of snow and ice to contend with.

And it appears that Mother Nature is trying to even the score as we’re looking at another largely fantastic weather weekend. The only sticking point — the temperatures will be a bit chilly, making it feel more of a fall day than spring.

The skies will be bright and sunny.

But before we get to the weekend, we’ll have to contend with some possible patchy frost conditions early Friday.

The National Weather Service says the wind chill value on Friday will be 30 to 40 degrees. Friday night will be chilly too with temps in the mid-30s.
