Mother Day Forecast Brings Fog, Low Clouds, and 70s

Mother day starts with areas of fog and low cloudiness before giving way to increasing breaks of afternoon sunshine and a few isolated showers. Temperatures are expected to reach the upper 60s and low 70s, and the forecast says it will hardly be a washout.

Friday afternoon brought beneficial rain across the state, then shower activity wrapped up and the night was expected to stay dry. Overnight lows were expected to be around 50, setting up a cooler but calmer start to the holiday weekend.

Sunday Weather in Connecticut

A weak cold front was expected to move through on Sunday and trigger the isolated afternoon showers. A few showers from Sunday night were expected to linger through early Monday, especially along the shoreline.

For people planning outdoor time on Mother Day, the timing matters more than the totals. The day was expected to begin gray, improve through the afternoon, and still leave room for only a few scattered showers rather than a steady rain.

Monday Morning Commute

The area was expected to dry out by the Monday morning commute, with cloudiness giving way to at least partial clearing during the afternoon. Highs on Monday were expected to stay unseasonably cool, in the upper 50s to around 60.

After that, more sunshine was expected for Tuesday. Wednesday was expected to begin dry, but showers were expected late and could last into and perhaps through Thursday, the wettest day of the week.

Late-Week Warmup

A few showers could linger into Friday, while temperatures were expected to remain below average through the end of the workweek. A notable warming trend was expected to take hold next weekend, with temperatures climbing into the low 70s on Saturday and potentially even warmer on Sunday.

For readers mapping out the week, the practical takeaway is simple: Mother day offers the best window for outdoor plans before a wetter stretch arrives midweek, followed by a dry and warmer weekend.
