Coastal Trips and Local Fairs Lead a Great Summer Weekend
We are heading into a great weekend for Wethersfield with sunny peaks and high temperatures near 86 degrees. The standout option is a coastal trip to Newport, but local 4-H fairs and puppet shows provide plenty of reason to stay close to home. It is a solid time to enjoy the late July warmth before the evening cool down.
Highs will hover around 86 degrees with comfortable lows in the mid-50s. Saturday late afternoon offers the best window for being outside with clear skies and pleasant conditions.
