Mansfield's Weekend Weather Forecast Includes Plenty of Sun

It’s not perfect, but we’re looking at a pretty nice weather weekend.

We’ll deal with some gray skies on Friday and a slight chance of showers during the day. The high temperature will be around 60 degrees.

Saturday is the best day of the weekend. The forecast calls for mostly sunny skies, temps in the mid 60s with a light wind. It will be a bit chilly Saturday night with temps back into the mid-40s.

On Sunday there is a very slight rain chance after 12 p.m. but there should be plenty of sunshine. The good news is the temps will be near 70 degrees.

Ironically, the best day of the year weather wise, may be on Monday when it’s forecast to be sunny and temperatures may hit the mid 70s.
