By Brian McCready

NEWTOWN, CT — The good news is it won’t be a complete washout this weekend but there will also be something missing from the sky, and that just happens to be the sun.

In the latest National Weather Service forecast it predicts a chance of showers throughout the weekend and into early next week, but a majority of the time it will be mostly cloudy.

Enjoy the weather Friday, because you aren’t forecast to see the sun again until Wednesday, when we could hit 80 degrees. Just in time for summer weather to finally arrive in advance of Memorial Day weekend.
