High pressure is controlling the weather story for the next few days! So expect nice weather to finish the workweek and go into the weekend.

There will be a few more clouds around tonight and these could produce a pop-up shower or storm, but overall southwestern Connecticut should stay mainly dry. Friday will be a nice finish to the week.

Friday will be a nice finish to the week. Temperatures will warm into the low 80s by the afternoon, but humidity is likely to remain low. Dew points should be in the 50s rather than the summer-like sticky 60s. There is a small chance for a late-day shower or storm on Friday night.

The weekend is split, with nice, sunny and comfortable weather on tap for Saturday, and rain possible on Sunday. A warm front is likely to lift across the region Sunday, which will bring moderate to heavy rain with a few thunderstorms. Clouds will keep temperatures in the upper 70s.

More rain is possible on Monday, with an associated cold front likely to cross then.
