CONNECTICUT — The forecast conditions for Friday through Sunday may feature the best weather of spring to date.
Nothing but sunshine and temperatures into the upper 70s to low 80s across Connecticut during this time period.
Before we get to this amazing stretch of weather, we’ll contend with more rain showers and thunderstorms Wednesday afternoon, tonight and Thursday morning.
Here are the storm specifics from WFSB 3 TV meteorologists
“Today starts off dry and bright, then during the afternoon our sky becomes partly cloudy. With more comfortable levels of humidity, temperatures peak in the mid to upper 70s inland and in the low to mid-70s at the shoreline,” said WFSB 3 TV Chief Meteorologist Mark Dixon with Scot Haney. “Toward the evening commute and thereafter, isolated showers are possible as a cold front heads our way. An area of low-pressure rides along the front as it crosses Southern New England tonight, increasing the chance for rain (some rumbles of thunder can’t be ruled out). Showers last through tomorrow morning, then clearing gets underway.” (Read/watch more at WFSB 3 TV).

DALLAS (WTNH) — A New London-based group is partnering with a Texas-based restaurant planning to open its first locations in Connecticut.
New London Hospitality has signed a new area development agreement with Twin Hospitality Group Inc., the parent company of Twin Peaks Restaurant, for the development rights of three future locations in the state, according to a press release from Twin Peaks.
The release lists New Haven, Hartford, Waterbury, Danbury and Stamford or Bridgeport as potential markets.
According to the release, New London Hospitality is run by Deepak Verma and Kam Singh, who have experience in the hospitality industry and have worked with major hotel brands including Hilton, Red Roof Inn and Choice Hotels.
“Deepak and Kam bring a powerful combination of hospitality expertise and operational discipline,” Twin Peaks CEO Kim Boerema said in the release. “Their experience growing multi-unit concepts makes them ideal partners as we enter Connecticut. We are confident they will help anchor Twin Peaks as a new favorite for sports fans throughout the state.”
Twin Peaks describes itself as “the ultimate sports lodge featuring made-from-scratch food and the coldest beer in the business, surrounded by scenic views and wall-to-wall TVs. At every Twin Peaks, guests are immediately welcomed by a friendly Twin Peaks Girl and served up a menu made for MVPs.”
“Twin Peaks delivers everything guests want in a sports bar — scratch-made food, 29-degree draft beer, and the best place to catch every game,” Verma said. “We look forward to introducing the brand’s signature lodge experience and welcoming Twin Peaks girls to Connecticut, establishing a new home base for local sports fans and food enthusiasts.”
Twin Peaks was founded in 2005 in Lewisville, Texas, a suburb of Dallas. There are 114 locations in the United States and Mexico. The closest location to Connecticut is in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
