WEATHER UPDATE: National Weather Service Makes Snow Accumulation Prediction for Meriden

It looks like it really will be snowing on the first day of spring. The National Weather Service is predicting a little bit of snow for Meriden on Friday.

The NWS predicts Meriden will thankfully only receive less than an inch of snow. Let’s hope the prediction doesn’t get worse than that.

WFSB 3 TV Meteorologist Scot Haney writes that snow or a wintry mix will develop by Friday evening. He wrote two models show just very light snow or a wintry mix, but one model shows a “more robust storm.”

WTNH News 8 Meteorologist Gil Simmons wrote Wednesday morning that the wet snow will begin in the afternoon and evening hours on Friday and a few inches of accumulation is possible especially the closer to the shore you are.

Here is the latest hyperlocal forecast from the National Weather Service:

Friday Snow likely, mainly after 3pm. Increasing clouds, with a high near 35. Calm wind becoming south 5 to 7 mph in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New snow accumulation of less than one inch possible.

Friday Night Snow likely, mainly before 1am. Cloudy, with a low around 27. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New snow accumulation of 1 to 3 inches possible.

Saturday A chance of snow before 7am. Partly sunny, with a high near 45. Chance of precipitation is 30%.
