Not the greatest weekend forecast for certain, but at least it’s not snow.

We’ll see rain chances both Friday and Saturday and the good news is it’s dry on Sunday but it’s also a lot colder too on Sunday and Monday.

Sunday evening, temps could dip below 40 degrees for parts of Connecticut. And a look at next week’s forecast shows several days of rain possible starting in the middle of the week.

The latest National Weather Service forecast:

Friday: Showers and thunderstorms begin in the afternoon, fog is expected too. Temps will be in the mid 60s on the coast and near 70 inland. A half inch of rain is expected and the showers will end before midnight.

Saturday: Mostly cloudy, with temps in the low 70s. Some showers are likely after 3 p.m. and can continue off and on until late Saturday.

Saturday night: Temps are around 50 degrees.

Sunday: Sunshine, but much colder as temps aren’t forecast to exceed 60 degrees. It will also be windy with gusts in excess of 25 mph likely.

Sunday night: Cold, temps near 40 degrees.

Monday: Colder, sunshine, and highs only in the upper 50s.

Tuesday: Warmer, sunshine and temps in the mid 60s.

Tuesday night through Thursday: Cloudy with showers possible each day.
