FORECAST: Brief summer preview Monday

It's mild overnight tonight, and warm by Monday afternoon with high temperatures pushing 80 degrees away from the shoreline.

CONNECTICUT, USA — A few showers move through overnight, then we are in for a summer preview Monday.

The warmest the Hartford area has been so far this year is 77 degrees on April 15. The average first 80 degree day is April 23, so if we do hit 80 degrees on Monday, it'll be a bit later than average.

We'll have a mix of sunshine and clouds through the day. It'll be a mild start and a warm afternoon.
