CONNECTICUT — It looks like we will all get some accumulating snow on Saturday with the lowest amounts along the immediate Connecticut coast. Most areas of the state will see three inches of snow but areas near shore may only see an inch or two.
Some far northern areas could see up to five inches of snow. The National Weather Service says "The next disturbance moves in Saturday afternoon likely beginning as a period of light to moderate snow before quickly transitioning over to rain by Saturday evening. Coastal areas will see the transition to rain first with the rain/snow line moving north through the evening. Most of the precipitation moves out of the area by early morning on Sunday as the low pushes off to the northeast."

Saturday's winter weather: Snow begins in the afternoon on Saturday and goes into the evening, likely changing over to wintry mix and rain as warmer air streams in from the south. It tapers off by Sunday morning, and then cold weather takes over for much of next week! pic.twitter.com/tssBrtqFEi

Snow on Saturday afternoon/early evening. A quick hitting thump with a couple inches statewide. It looks like the storm moves so quickly we won't have much time to change to rain. Most towns get around 3" of snow. pic.twitter.com/ELJbSm2RRi
