WEATHER UPDATE: Rainy and Possibly Stormy Weekend Forecast in Vernon

Our streak of brilliant weekend weather was bound to end at some point and it appears Mother Nature has chosen this upcoming weekend to change course.

After seemingly months of bright sunshine on weekends, this weekend looks like one where the sun will remain largely hidden, possibly until Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service.

The good news is Thursday’s forecast includes plenty of sunshine and temps in the mid 80s, but beginning late Thursday, showers and thunderstorms are forecast for all of Connecticut.

On Friday, showers and thunderstorms are forecast and some of the rain is expected to be heavy at times. The chance for unsettled weather lasts the entire day and anywhere up to a half inch to three-quarters of an inch of rain is possible for Connecticut, the National Weather Service states.

In northern Connecticut a little less rain is forecast there. The chance for unsettled weather on Friday is 70 percent.

On Saturday, there is a 50 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms for all of Connecticut and the skies remain mostly cloudy.

On Sunday, there is a 40 percent of showers and storms for all of Connecticut with skies once again mostly cloudy.

And yes, the same forecast is predicted for Monday before the sun is expected to return on Tuesday.
