Next Snow Chance Emerges In Forecast For Northern Connecticut
Here are new details on a brief warm-up and also news on when the next round of bitterly cold temperatures will return.
NORTHERN CONNECTICUT — A cold weather advisory remains in effect until 10 a.m. Sunday, and it may feel as cold as 15 below zero, according to the National Weather Service.
There was a lot of initial chatter about a possible nor'easter storm that might impact Connecticut this weekend, but those impacts will be very minimal, according to meteorologists.
"A strong coastal storm will move on a track well offshore from Southern New England, only clipping the Cape & Islands with accumulating snow. Here in CT, we’ll see passing clouds, a few flurries at times, and an afternoon feel in the single digits and lower teens. Don’t forget to check out the Full Snow Moon that rises again closer to 5pm," WFSB 3 TV meteorologists said.

On Tuesday and Wednesday, daytime highs might reach 35 degrees.

Next snow chance Friday
"The next system we are monitoring is a clipper system for Friday into Saturday morning for a period of light snow," WFSB 3 TV meteorologists said.
The brief warm-up isn't forecast to last long
"The first full weekend of February will mark a return to Arctic cold, with high temperatures at or around 20. We’re also watching for the chance of light snow for the first half of the weekend," said WFSB 3 TV meteorologists. (Read more at WFSB 3 TV).
