Cool & Breezy With Maybe Some Rain As It Feels Like Fall In Newtown

FAIRFIELD COUNTY, Conn. -- It won't feel like August this week, with temperatures in Fairfield County expected to stay in the 70s. Skies will be mostly clear, too, though there is the possibility of some rain Tuesday into Wednesday.

It may be a little cool for swimming, but temperatures in the 70s will still be pleasant for a walk on the beach this week.
