Mansfield-Storrs' Work Week Forecast Includes Chance of Thunderstorms and Fog

By Barbara Heins and Brian McCready (Patch Staff)

We enjoyed a summer-like day on Sunday with temperatures in the mid 80s, and it’s back-to-reality Monday morning as with grey skies and temperatures about 20 degrees cooler.

For the work week forecast it looks stormy and unstable for Monday and Tuesday but starting on Wednesday and continuing through the Memorial Day weekend, the weather looks amazing with plenty of sunshine and late spring-like temps.

Specifically, on Monday and Tuesday it will mostly be mostly overcast with a chance of showers, thunderstorms, and patchy fog. The fog will appear after midnight Monday and continue into early Tuesday.

On Monday the high temp will be near 60 and on Tuesday it rises into the low 70s.

Starting on Wednesday, the forecast calls for nothing but sunshine running through Sunday with temps near 70 degrees each day.

We’ll update this forecast later in the week, which will include Memorial Day itself.
