Snow Accumulation Estimates Rise For Parts Of CT: Here Are The Latest Numbers

CONNECTICUT — A winter weather advisory is in effect for Fairfield, New Haven and Litchfield counties for Friday night and Saturday morning, where up to five inches of snow may accumulate.

For the remainder of the state, it appears that 1–2 inches of snow may accumulate.

"With a slight jog north in the track, we now expect 3-5″ of snow across the western half of the state; with 1-3″ trending lower as one heads farther east toward the RI border," the WFSB 3 TV meteorologists said.

While snow of any magnitude is of interest in Connecticut, especially in light of how little we've received this year, all eyes are on Monday night and Tuesday where a much stronger coastal storm could bring snow, rain and strong wind gusts to the state.

"We have *another* Early Warning Weather ALERT early next week… for what could be a long duration, slow-moving storm. From Monday into Tuesday, a variety of precipitation is possible with an intensifying wind," the WFSB 3 TV meteorologists said. (Watch the full WFSB 3 TV weather forecast here).

Here are the latest projections from the National Weather Service on snow totals by Saturday morning:

Fairfield/New Haven County: A winter weather advisory has been issued from 6 p.m. Friday until 10 a.m. Saturday. "Total snow accumulations 3 to 5 inches, with locally higher amounts up to near 6 inches on higher elevations..."

Middlesex/New London County: Snow begins after midnight, 1–2 inches of accumulation is forecast. The snow, which may mix with rain, should end after 10 a.m. Saturday.

A hazardous weather outlook has already been issued in advance of next week's storm. "A storm system early next week has the potential to bring significant snowfall accumulations."
