By the later afternoon clouds will increase and our wind direction will begin to shift out of the NW as a front moves through the state. The front could bring a few isolated showers tomorrow evening but it shouldn't impact your outdoor plans.
The front will effect our temperatures though, by Sunday afternoon highs will only reach the mid to upper 40s.
Another system moves through CT late Sunday night and through out the day on Monday. A few snowflakes could be possible in the higher elevations of the NW Hills early Monday but most locations will receive just rainfall throughout the day on Monday.
Most of next week temps will hold the mid 40s to low 50s. Another system could bring a few showers on Wednesday before temps slowly begin to climb back into the mid 50s by next weekend.
