Connecticut Weather: Winter Storm Warning Issued For Tuesday

The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning on Monday for the entire state of Connecticut as heavy snow is expected to fall late tonight and on Tuesday. The snow is expected to begin falling in parts of the state around 10 p.m. and continue into Tuesday afternoon. The heaviest snow is expected Tuesday morning.

Snow total estimates have changed a bit from Sunday as the storm is now moving slightly more to the east, which means a bit less snow, especially for western parts of Connecticut. (New, updated story: Hour-By-Hour Forecast of CT's 3rd Major Nor'easter Snowstorm).
