More Big Storms, Changes In Connecticut's Weather Forecast

The Monday morning commute may be a slick one in Southern Connecticut and possibly a slippery one in Northern Connecticut. Heavy rain will taper off by dawn Monday in Southern Connecticut, while rain will mix with snow in Northern Connecticut and could cause some slippery travel conditions very early Monday.

A Hazardous Weather Outlook is in effect for Litchfield, Hartford, Tolland, and Windham counties tonight and early Monday. A few inches of snow and sleet is possible in Litchfield County, while a slushy coating of snow and sleet is possible in Hartford, Tolland and Windham counties.

In Southern Connecticut, temps will stay above the freezing mark and it's mainly plain rain here. It's possible some sleet could mix in, in extreme inland areas of Southern Connecticut.

Monday will moderate into the mid 40s but the wind picks up and gusts could be in excess of 40 mph in certain parts of the state.

Tuesday looks very windy and chilly, and more heavy rain is forecast for Thursday and Friday. The good news is that the upcoming weekend looks dry and warmer with temps near 50 degrees on Saturday.
