2 Fatal Accidents Reported In CT, 131 Total Accidents

Good Sunday morning,

There's a lot of breaking news across Connecticut this morning, but we'll start with the weather forecast update for the remainder of the Labor Day weekend.

Saturday's weather was perfect but the forecast won't be as stellar for Sunday and Monday.

It looks like it will be mostly cloudy today with a chance for showers in the late afternoon and evening hours. The chance for showers rises tonight and continues into the morning hours on Labor Day. The good news is that the clouds will give way to periods of sun on Labor Day afternoon.

Neither day will be a washout, it just won't feel like Saturday's perfect weather day.
