Bright blue skies and record-high temperatures are coming to a pause Memorial Day weekend as rain and lower temperatures in the 60s are expected to hit the state Friday night.
“The good news anyway is that the bulk of the rain will be coming [Friday] night,” Gary Lessor, chief meteorologist at Western Connecticut State University, said. “It certainly won’t be the best of weekends, especially being Memorial Day weekend, where we kind of want to see sunshine all three days, nice warm weather and people going to the beach. It’s not going to be ideal for that to occur.
