Middletown's Latest Memorial Day Weekend Forecast

Written by Brian McCready and Jaimie Cura

A lot of people have barbecues planned with family and friends this Memorial Day weekend, and others have plans to attend ceremonies and parades honoring those who died while serving in the country’s armed forces.

It’s clear from the latest National Weather Service forecast that Sunday is the best day to have outdoor plans, as temperatures around Connecticut will be in the low to mid-70s and skies will be sunny.

Saturday isn’t bad either, just a bit chillier with temperatures in the mid to high 60s but it will be sunny.

Earlier this week, thunderstorms and showers were forecast for Memorial Day itself, which is when numerous ceremonies and parades are scheduled.

The showers will hold off until Monday evening, according to the NWS, and while it will be mostly cloudy, there won’t be any rain during the day. Temperatures will be in the low to mid-70s on Monday.

Showers or thunderstorms are possible for Monday night.

Have a great holiday weekend!
