Weekend Forecast and Beyond: Friday, Feb. 11

Milder weather moving in for this weekend.

After the Bethel area has experienced a relatively cold week so far, that will begin to change by this weekend. A series of weak disturbances will bring cloud-cover, but milder temperatures as well from Saturday through Monday.

Today: Plenty of sunshine today will help temperatures quickly rise after a very cold morning. Readings will make it well up into the 20s, with highs approaching the 30 degree mark during the afternoon.

Tonight: With clouds on the increase, it will not be nearly as cold tonight, as it was on Thursday night. Skies will become mostly cloudy and temperatures will only fall slowly through the 20s. Temperatures first thing Saturday morning will start off in the teens.

Saturday: The combination of a low pressure system offshore and a very weak disturbance passing through southern Canada will result in mostly cloudy skies on Saturday. A milder air mass will begin to work into the area, so despite a lack of sunshine, highs will make it up into the 30s.

Sunday: Another weak disturbance will swing through New England later in the day. This one will have a bit more moisture to work with, but with the track being north of the area, we will be on the mild side. A few rain and snow showers will pass through the area and highs will likely reach the lower 40s.

Early next week: A cool air mass is expected to drop south from Canada for the beginning of next week. Clouds will eventually give way to some sunshine and temperatures will turn a little bit cooler.

Tonight: Increasing clouds and chilly. Lows in the teens.

Saturday: Mostly cloudy, but milder. Highs in the mid-30s.
