Special Weather Statement Issued For Southern CT, Multiple Crashes Reported
Here are the new details on whether we'll see snow this upcoming holiday weekend.
The light snow and ice have moved on, but it left slippery road conditions out there, which has led numerous school districts around Connecticut to either issue a delayed opening or closure.
The National Weather Service has issued a special weather statement for southern Connecticut stating, "Precipitation has moved out of the area. However, many areas continue to see surface temperatures at or slightly below freezing. The residual moisture from the precipitation combined with the cold surface temperatures will result in slick and/or icy surfaces. Motorists are urged to slow down and travel with caution this morning."
The remainder of the week looks tranquil with sunny skies and temperatures slightly above the freezing mark. On Wednesday, we should hit 40 degrees, but it will be chillier on Thursday and Friday before we warm back up to around 40 degrees on Saturday and Sunday.
