Snow Accumulation Estimates Released For Weekend Storm In CT

After a spring-like day on Saturday, snow is predicted to fall in Connecticut on Sunday, according to forecasters.

Meteorologists are also monitoring the potential for stormy weather on Tuesday into Wednesday, which is expected to start as snow before turning to rain.

The National Weather Service reports Saturday will be sunny, with temperatures reaching into the upper 40s and low 50s in Connecticut.

Afterward, wintry weather returns for the remainder of the weekend. WFSB reports a cold front arrives on Sunday morning, bringing “a chance for some snow.”

WFSB predicts between one and two inches of snow will fall by noon on Sunday, with high temperatures only reaching into the 30s.

Meteorologists with WTNH are predicting between one and three inches of snow on Sunday, along with wind and highs in the 30s. The station expects the snowfall will begin in the morning and end between noon and 2 p.m. Sunday.

“Winter comes back to start the month of March,” the station reported.

Looking ahead

For the work week, Monday will be chilly, then there is another chance for precipitation on Tuesday, forecasters said.

“It could begin as snow, flipping over to a wintry mix as milder air pushes in,” WFSB reports. “Wednesday, any mix gives way to rain, with partial clearing expected later in the day.”

According to WTNH, Tuesday will “feature snow and mix arriving later in the day.”

The station predicts the snow and mix will arrive late afternoon on Tuesday, and then the precipitation will turn over to rain and end on Wednesday morning.
