Connecticut's Christmas Weekend Weather Forecast: UPDATE

Many residents will be traveling this holiday weekend to see family and friends and we'll let you know what to expect weather wise.

The Christmas holiday weekend forecast all-in-all isn’t looking so bad. The good news is, especially for those traveling on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, is that there is now no snow in the forecast.

We may have to contend with some rain on Christmas Eve but it won’t be a washout either. It’s also going to be seasonal with the temperatures too. We’re definitely not going to see anything close to last year when much of the state saw temps into the mid 60s.

There are no snow chances in the forecast through Thursday but there is a couple of chances for some rain on the horizon.
