New Milford's Memorial Day Weekend Forecast: 2 Out of 3 Days Look Good

By Brian McCready

It’s going to be hot, and in some parts of Connecticut it will be in the 90s this Memorial Day weekend.

It won’t be a washout this weekend, but if you have cookouts and barbecues planned it seems that Saturday and Sunday are the preferred days based on the latest National Weather Service forecast.

There could be a chance of showers and thunderstorms each day this weekend, but the greatest chance for rain is actually on Memorial Day and in the afternoon for all of Connecticut.

Memorial Day observances and parades scheduled throughout Connecticut on Saturday and Sunday should be fine, and the showers on Memorial Day aren’t forecast to begin until after 2 p.m.

Here is a detailed look at the latest National Weather Service forecast:

Friday: Partly sunny, 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms, temps in the low 80s on the shore and upper 80s inland.

Saturday: Partly sunny, no rain is forecast during the day. Temps, mid 80s on the shore and around 90 degrees inland.

Saturday night: A slight chance of showers and thunderstorms with temps back into the mid 60s.

Sunday: Showers and thunderstorms possible after 10 a.m., a slight chance, but partly sunny skies and temps in the low 80s on the shore but into the low 90s in northern Connecticut.

Sunday night: Increasing chance of showers and thunderstorms after 10 p.m. with temps near the mid 60s.

Monday: Mostly cloudy skies, showers likely after 2 p.m. and a chance of showers until around 10 p.m. Cooler, with temps back into the mid 70s. In northern Connecticut, rain may be heavy at times on Memorial Day.
