Newtown's Weekend Weather Forecast Includes Chance of Showers, Thunderstorms

By Brian McCready (Patch Staff)

We could wish that today’s forecast is what we’d end up with for Saturday.

Before we get to the weekend though, we’re looking at a picture perfect weather day on Thursday with sunny skies and temps in the high 60s to 70 degrees.

Friday is even slightly better with sunny skies and temps around 70 degrees.

Saturday is definitely the worse of the two days as showers and thunderstorms are possible early in the morning, and then it will be mostly cloudy for the remainder of the day.

But the sun reappears on Sunday, and a gorgeous weather day is forecast with high temperatures approaching the mid 70s.

Here is Newtown’s latest hyperlocal forecast from the National Weather Service:
