Special Weather Statement Issued For Southern Connecticut

The National Weather Service has issued a Special Weather Statement and a Hazardous Weather Outlook for all of southern Connecticut tonight. The weather service says, "With temperatures dropping below freezing, any remaining standing water will freeze, forming black ice on untreated surfaces. This will create slippery conditions. Use extra caution when venturing out."

Temps will fall to around 10 degrees tonight and only rise into the mid 20s on Sunday. The Martin Luther King Jr. holiday looks sunny but temps remain in the upper 20s. And early Tuesday, and all day Wednesday there is a 50 percent chance of snow.
