20 Road Work Projects Lead To Lane Closures, Delays Across Connecticut

CONNECTICUT — Good morning! Here is a look at weather and traffic conditions across the state this Friday.

Sadly, the extended weather forecast doesn't really feature any great spring weather as it will be cloudy with rain showers this weekend and temperatures remain cold for the next week. Hopefully, those sunny and 60-degree temperature days are coming soon.

As for today, clouds and some rain showers will give way to sunshine later on Friday and temperatures will reach into the 60s, but that very brief taste of nice weather ends in time for the weekend.

We'll be dodging rain showers Saturday, Sunday and Monday, but it's not expected to be a washout on either of those days.

Here is a live look at traffic conditions across the entire state courtesy of the state Department of Transportation. Check back for updates throughout the day.
