WEATHER UPDATE: Rain to Make its Return to Berlin This Week

The back-to-work week forecast features a few chances of rain this week, which for us in Connecticut has been a rarity dating back to June.

The state has been either in a “moderate drought” or experiencing “abnormally dry conditions” for the past few months.

The National Weather Service says there are rain chances on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. The best bet is Tuesday for a consistent rain, accompanied by gusty winds exceeding 20 mph.

Still as of right now, none of the rain showers looks to be overly impressive. We could see up to a half inch of rain or possibly a bit more on Tuesday into Tuesday night.

Overall temps stay seasonal to slightly above as temps are in the mid to upper 50s for the week before cooling off a bit next weekend.

Here is the detailed work week forecast:

• Monday, sunny, temperature of 58 degrees
• Tuesday, upper 50s, with rain developing during the day and up to a half inch of rain is expected before midnight along Southern Connecticut. In Hartford and Tolland County, there is only a 40 percent chance of some rain after 10 a.m. Tuesday but it’s expected to pick up late Tuesday and up to a half inch is expected before ending early Wednesday.
• Veterans Day, a slight chance of showers and mostly cloudy skies with temps in the mid 50s.
• Thursday, showers after 9 a.m. expected, a 70 percent chance and temps in the upper 50s.
• Friday, sunny, 58 degrees
• Saturday and Sunday, sunny and temps in the low 50s.
