Work Week Weather Forecast for Westport

As we begin the countdown to Thanksgiving, yes it’s really coming up soon, the weather forecast continues to be largely sunny and warm over the next seven days in Connecticut.

There is rain in the forecast on Tuesday and Sunday looks cooler with clouds and a chance of showers too. As we all know, the state is in desperate need for some rain with parts of Connecticut running a more than 10-inch shortfall of rain.

But the story with this latest forecast is that there will be a few days this week where we’ll hit 60 degrees.

WTNH News 8 Meteorologist Gil Simmons said “Beautiful weather expected today! Sunshine with high temperatures in the lower 60s. Plan on rain moving in for Tuesday!”
