Mother's Day Weekend Forecast for Mansfield - Storrs

By Barbara Heins and Brian McCready (Patch Staff)

First, Happy Mother’s Day to all of the moms out there.

The latest National Weather Service forecast is all over the place, but by and large the forecast will be a good one for Sunday.

Before we get to the weekend, Friday’s forecast looks great with bright sunshine and temps in the 73-77 range for the southern part of Connecticut including Fairfield, New Haven, Middlesex and New London counties.

Up north in Hartford and Tolland counties the forecast for Friday calls for temps in the low to mid 80s.
