Meriden's Work Week Forecast Includes Chance of Thunderstorms and Fog

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

For the work week forecast it looks stormy and unstable for Monday and Tuesday but starting on Wednesday and continuing through the upcoming 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.

But 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.
