Snow, Sleet And Rain Expected For Thanksgiving Weekend In CT

CONNECTICUT — It's looking more and more likely that there will be some snow this weekend with snow expected to begin Sunday morning, right after 8 a.m. before it turns to a mix precipitation and then possibly rain, especially on the coast.

It's impossible to estimate how much snow we may receive but it may impact travel plans. Sunday is shaping up to be a real mess whether you're traveling or not.

The precipitation is expected to taper off late Sunday into early Monday.

Thanksgiving Weather Conditions
