A Great Coastal and Community Weekend
Get ready for a great weekend across the Hartford metro area as we enjoy warm temperatures and a high volume of community activities. Friday afternoon is the sweet spot for outdoor plans, leading into a sunny Sunday that hits 90 degrees.
Expect temperatures to climb from a comfortable 85 on Friday to a hot 90 on Sunday. Clearer skies arrive late in the weekend, with Friday afternoon offering the best window for outdoor activities before the peak heat hits.
