Home Runs, Classic Hits, and Saturday Sun
The Manchester weekend brings a strong slate of activity, anchored by a series of baseball matchups and high profile concerts. With Saturday being a great day to get outside, you can balance the light Friday drizzle with a variety of top tier indoor shows. Our weekend score indicates a high signal weekend for anyone looking to get out and explore the Hartford metro area.
Expect highs in the low 80s with occasional light drizzle on Friday and Sunday. Saturday is the standout day for outdoor activities, offering overcast skies but pleasant 84 degree temperatures in the late afternoon.
