A big temperature drop is underway.

High temperatures on Friday climbed into the lower/middle 80s, and both Saturday and Sunday will be about 10-15 degrees cooler.

A cold front is now moving through Connecticut, but we will stay dry. There is no rain. The sunshine will remain, but it's all about the temperatures the next few days.

The weather over the weekend will be pleasant, sunny and dry.

The first day of fall is Monday and highs will warm up with some middle 70s.

There will be more clouds and even some rain by the middle of next week, even a few thunderstorms for later Tuesday. Overall, temperatures stay above normal.

Tropical Storm Gabrielle is still located in the central Atlantic. The storm is forecast to develop into a hurricane by Sunday and remain over the open ocean, with no threat to land. Stay with News 12 CT for more updates on our local weather and the tropics.

The planet Saturn will be in opposition this weekend. It's the perfect time to view the ringed planet, as it will be brighter and visible all night. The weather will cooperate for viewing, too. Saturn is visible to the unaided eye, but binoculars or a small telescope will show the planet as a disc and rings.
