Connecticut Weather: Freezing Cold Moves In, More Snow Possible

You'll want to be prepared this week for an arctic blast which will usher in the coldest temperatures of the season thus far. In fact, Connecticut won't be above 32 degrees for the rest of the year. Several nights will see temps fall into the single digits. There is also a chance for more snow on Saturday too.

WTNH News 8 Meteorologist Gil Simmons said, "Plan on a cold & windy Tuesday. Watching Friday-Saturday for a close snowstorm. Otherwise just cold this week."

NBC Connecticut Meteorologist Darren Sweeney said, "Today is cold.. but get ready for BITTER cold and a deep freeze to settle in tomorrow and the rest of the week."

FOX 61 Weather‏ said, "Colder today, but this is nothing compared to the chill we have coming in for the end of the week and through the weekend. Quiet skies for a while, but some snow is possible on Saturday."
