Will We Hit 60 Degrees This Weekend?

Technically, it’s still fall until later this month, but talk of temperatures approaching 60 degrees in early December is still something out of the ordinary for Connecticut.

But that is what we’re expecting this weekend. So if you’re planning on being out and about this weekend holiday shopping, plan on a fleece and leave the winter jacket at home.

We’re looking at another extended period of no precipitation over the next seven days and plenty of days in the 50s. Temps at night won’t even be that cold for this time of year either.

Numerous meteorologists are predicting record warmth for December.

Here is the detailed weekend forecast:

• Friday, mostly sunny, temps near 50 degrees. It may be a bit windy in Hartford and Tolland counties with wind gusts up to 20 mph.
• Saturday, more sun, temps in the low to mid 50s for all of Connecticut
• Saturday night, mostly clear with temps in the low to mid 30s.
• Sunday, mostly sunny with temps in the mid to upper 50s and approaching 60 degrees in Hartford and Tolland counties.
• Sunday night, temps only falling back into the mid 30s.
• Monday, more sun and temps in the low 50s.
• Tuesday through Thursday, more sunshine and temps a bit cooler in the mid 40s on Tuesday and Wednesday but headed back to near 50 on Thursday.
