Orange's Labor Day Weekend Weather Forecast Takes A Turn For The Worse

If you have outdoor plans this Labor Day weekend, here's the updated forecast, which now includes rain.

ORANGE, CT — We're getting closer to the long Labor Day holiday weekend and it appears two of the three days will feature pretty good weather, but it now looks like some rain, due to the remnants of Hurricane Harvey, will also be around and impact this weekend's weather.

Once again it will continue to feel fall-like through Sunday but on Labor Day itself, temps should rebound to around 80 degrees and it will feel more like summer. But Friday's high temp may not even hit 70 degrees.

Accuweather.com says, "During Saturday into Sunday, Harvey may blend with a non-tropical storm and rainfall may become more spread out as it reaches the Northeast." Accuweather.com says 1-2 inches of rain is possible in the Northeast this weekend.
