Here's Your Latest Easter Day Weather Forecast

In Connecticut, we'll be contending with rain, thunderstorms, fog, and even strong winds before the weather improves.

This holiday weekend forecast has some good and bad news.

It’s always good news that it won’t be snowing, but we’ll have to deal with some rain, possible thunderstorms, cooler temperatures, fog, and probably the biggest nuisance will be gusty winds.

For Fairfield, New Haven, and New London counties, we’re looking at showers to intensify Friday evening and tonight’s rain could be heavy at times including thunderstorms. The rain ends around 8 a.m. Saturday but up to three quarters of an inch may fall, and fog is forecast for late Friday and early Saturday.
