Light Snow Could Complicate North Haven's Friday Morning Commute; Still a Chance for Snow Late Sunday

While there are still two chances for snow scheduled in the next few days, including one tonight, there is some good news about the severity, or lack thereof, of both snow predictions.

The National Weather Service on Wednesday afternoon issued a Hazardous Weather Outlook for Connecticut but that was rescinded Thursday morning.

Initially, the weather service was predicting a substantial snowstorm for late Sunday that they said could dump another 6 inches of snow on the state, but that has been scaled back.

Here is the latest information you need to know:

Thursday’s snow chance

Light snow is possible between 9 p.m. and midnight and it’s possible snow could accumulate up to 1 inch overnight.

Friday morning’s commute

It’s likely to continue to keep snowing, lightly, until noon or 1 p.m. according to the National Weather Service. Up to an inch of new snow accumulation is expected.

The total accumulation could be 1 to 3 inches. While the snow is considered to be light, the morning commute could be tricky, and please give yourself more time in the morning.

Patch will be watching for school delays in the morning.

Sunday’s snow chance

The National Weather Service rescinded the Hazardous Weather Outlook for Connecticut this morning for Sunday’s possible snowstorm, but it still says there is a 50 percent chance for some snow Sunday night and into Monday morning.

WFSB Meteorologist Scott Haney cautioned Thursday into Friday’s light snow event could complicate Friday’s morning commute.

And concerning Sunday’s snow chance, Haney says, “Light snow is possible before the day is over. While a major snowstorm is possible Sunday night and Monday, recent information from some of our trusted computer guidance models suggests otherwise.”

Still, Haney said the storm needs to be watched closely.

Saturday’s weather

It will be dry and sunny on Saturday, that is the good news, but it’s going to be freezing with temperatures around 20 degrees with wind gusts up to 35 mph.
