Feeling Like Fall Weather, Next Storm Emerges In Forecast: CT Weather

CONNECTICUT — It will feel like early fall weather this week, and then there is a return to rain for next weekend.

"Early Tuesday, temperatures will likely range from the mid to upper 40s and lower 50s, so plan for another early taste of autumn!" said WFSB 3 TV meteorologists. "First alerting you to the coolest air since May in the Hartford Area. By the afternoon, despite full sunshine, temperatures will top out in the lower 70s (Tuesday will likely be the coolest of the next 7 days). Wednesday and Thursday, expect more of the same with a slight moderation in temperature. The best chance of seeing 80 will arrive toward the end of next week. The sunshine holds on through Friday! At this point the return of showers, and maybe some heavier rainfall, comes in next weekend." (Read/watch more at WFSB 3 TV).
