Rush Tributes and Stadium Football in New Haven
The region is gearing up for an epic weekend of competition and live performance. With mostly sunny skies on Friday and a high-energy schedule of rock and sports, it is a perfect time to head to venues across Connecticut and Massachusetts.
Friday reaches a high of 79 under mostly sunny skies, followed by cooler highs of 70 on Saturday and 65 on Sunday. There is a 43 percent chance of rain late in the weekend: the best outdoor window is early Saturday morning, which offers the weekend's coolest overnight low of 50 degrees.
