Rain, Snow Showers Possible for MLK Jr. Weekend in Wilton

By Brian McCready

What a “winter” thus far for Connecticut? Earlier this week, the National Weather Service predicted there could be some ice and snow late Friday and into most of Saturday, but not anymore.

In fact, on Saturday high temps will be in the upper 40s. We will run the gamut this weekend for weather. There will be some heavy rain, warm temps, and after midnight Sunday and into Monday there is a chance for snow showers which could last until noon Monday for Connecticut.

The chance of snow showers for the entire state is at 30 percent right now. We’ll monitor that because some parts of Connecticut are still looking for their first accumulating snow.

And next week it will become bitterly cold as temps won’t hit the freezing mark, but as of right now, there aren’t any snow chances in the forecast for Tuesday.

Here is the detailed National Weather Service forecast:

• Friday: partly sunny with temps in the mid to upper 40s
• Friday night: Rain late with a half-inch of rain possible by morning
• Saturday: rain ends by late morning and temps will be in the upper 40s, another half-inch of rain is possible
• Saturday night: temps near 30 degrees
• Sunday: sunny and upper 30s
• Sunday night: after midnight a chance of snow showers
• Monday: snow showers possible up until noon, and highs only in the mid 20s
