Special Weather Statement Issued For Hartford/Tolland Counties

The National Weather Service has issued a Special Weather Statement for Hartford and Tolland counties for the Monday morning commute. A Hazardous Weather Outlook has also been issued too for the area.

The weather service says, "Light snow may result in a slippery Monday morning rush hour across southern New England...An area of light snow will overspread western MA and northern CT between midnight and 3 am...reaching eastern MA and RI by daybreak Monday. Snow will be light with accumulations of a coating to 1 inch."

"However, temperatures well below freezing will allow snow to stick immediately to roadways and impact the morning rush hour. Motorists traveling Monday morning should be prepared for slippery travel and allow extra time to reach their destination. The light snow should pretty much come to an end by late morning...but may linger into the afternoon across northeast Massachusetts where some spotty freezing drizzle is also possible."
