Weekend Snow Chance in Connecticut Diminishing: UPDATE

Well if you don’t like snow, you’ll like this weather forecast for Connecticut. It now appears the snow that was originally in the forecast this weekend will not materialize, and that means a three-day holiday weekend with no major weather issues.

While there won’t be any major snow this weekend, temps will drop significantly and yesterday's 50 plus degree weather will soon be a distant memory. Temps will be more seasonal starting this weekend with temps back into the 30s.

NBC Connecticut Meteorologist Ryan Hanrahan wrote, “What about snow this weekend? A couple days ago it looks like we could see a period of light snow Saturday night but now that no longer appears likely. It will be chilly and mainly sunny both Saturday and Sunday.”

WTNH News 8 Meteorologist Gil Simmons wrote, “Have your umbrella with you today! The rain will be on and off right through the afternoon. Warm temperatures today with record highs expected. Cold air comes in tomorrow afternoon through the weekend.
