Orange’s Weekend Forecast and First Look at Easter Sunday’s Weather

The rains have stopped for now after several inches have fallen over the past week leading to flooding in parts of Connecticut and some flooding concerns remains Friday. A Flood Warning has been issued for parts of northern Connecticut. The National Weather Service specifically mentions the Connecticut River at Hartford affecting Hartford and Middlesex counties.

“Heavy rains from yesterday, in addition to rain events over the past week, have caused some area rivers to rise near and above flood stage,” the National Weather Service states. Some lighter rain showers are also possible on Friday.

The good news is the weekend shows an improvement and temps moderate significantly next week too. The Weather Channel in its 10-day forecast currently shows a good weather day for Easter Sunday with high temps around 60 and partly sunny skies. There is only a 10 percent chance currently for some rain showers on Easter Sunday, according to The Weather Channel.
