WEATHER UPDATE: Suffield's Stormy Weekend Forecast

We had been on a roll of having gorgeous weather weekends for the past six weeks or so, but that is about to change somewhat this weekend.

It’s not a complete washout as Saturday is definitely the best weather day of the weekend.

In reality the best weather is forecast for today with sunny skies and temps in the high 70s in southern Connecticut and into the mid 80s in the northern part of the state.

For Saturday, showers and thunderstorms are possible in the afternoon hours along the southern half of the state, while there appears to be no rain threat in the northern half of the state on Saturday.

Plenty of sun is also forecast for Saturday with highs between 77 to 83 in Connecticut with cooler temps along the Shoreline.

On Saturday night, thunderstorms are possible for the entire state and that carries over into Sunday.

Fog may also be an issue late Saturday/early Sunday and then it will be cloudy all day on Sunday with a chance of showers and thunderstorms during the day and evening.

Up to a half inch of rain is possible.

Here is Suffield’s latest hyperlocal National Weather Service forecast:
