Hour-By-Hour Forecast Of Snow On President's Day: CT Weather

A Winter Weather Advisory continues to be in effect for all of Connecticut tonight and President's Day morning as a few inches or more of snow is expected to fall. It appears the best chance for the most snow is in northern sections of the state. Fortunately, schools are closed and some employees have the day off due to the federal holiday.

But for those of us who have to work Monday, the commute in the morning is expected to be a difficult one. Snowfall rates may approach an inch per hour at times overnight, the National Weather Service says.

Here are the latest snow and ice projections via the National Weather Service:

Southern Connecticut: "Snow and mixed precipitation expected. Total snow accumulations of 2 to 4 inches and ice accumulations of a light glaze expected. Snowfall rates of 1/2 to 1 inch per hour possible overnight. Plan on slippery road conditions. The hazardous conditions will impact the morning commute for those working or going to school on Washington`s Birthday."

Northern Connecticut: "Snow expected. Total snow accumulations of 3 to 6 inches expected. Heaviest snow occurs overnight into early morning Monday. The result will be hazardous travel for the morning commute with snow covered roads and poor visibility. Generally lighter snow will linger later in the morning and afternoon..."
