Connecticut residents should prepare for a wet and chilly Memorial Day weekend, with the worst weather expected on Sunday. The National Weather Service predicts heavy rain across southern New England, particularly on Sunday, where 1-2 inches of rain is forecasted. Saturday will start off dry but will transition to rain by the afternoon, with temperatures remaining cool, peaking at around 59 degrees. Sunday will be particularly challenging for outdoor plans, categorized as a 'First Alert Weather Day' due to the expected downpour and wind gusts. However, Memorial Day itself offers a glimmer of hope for outdoor activities, with mostly dry conditions and highs reaching 70 degrees, although some isolated showers may still occur. Overall, while Saturday and Sunday will be less favorable for outdoor events, Monday is expected to provide a more pleasant atmosphere for those looking to enjoy the holiday.
