The first shot at rain comes our way this morning. This will impact commuters. It won't last very long but there could be a burst of moderate rain at times from about 7 a.m. through just before noon. Roughly a quarter to just under a half inch should fall. The rest of the day is dry, breezy but mild. High temperatures will climb into the middle 50s for the afternoon.

Wednesday will be nice and seasonable with a high temperature of 50 degrees. If this is your travel day, then the weather will cooperate.

Things change Thursday for Thanksgiving. All day rain brings us about 1 inch of much needed rain. Colder air follows late in the day, any snow that does fall will be confined to the highest elevations in Litchfield County. At this point it doesn't look like it will be very widespread, but if you are traveling north, slippery roads could be an issue. It will be windy and colder over the weekend. Temperatures will be in the 30s and 40s during the day. Nighttime lows fall into the 20s.

Winter coats and sweaters will be popular fashion for both Saturday and Sunday.
