Snow Showers Now, Below Zero Soon for Suffield
National Weather Service has already issued a "Hazardous Weather Outlook" for possibly record cold this weekend and a chance for more snow.
Parts of Connecticut have been dealing with heavy snow showers this morning, which has put a coating to an inch of new snow on the ground.
More snow showers are possible until later this afternoon but it will be hit and miss as to who actually ends up seeing snowflakes and who doesn’t. Currently, a half inch is possible for New Haven and Fairfield counties, and an inch or two of snow for Middlesex, New London, Hartford and Tolland counties, according to the National Weather Service.
After the light snow chance fades today, everyone’s attention turns to the weekend, and a “Hazardous Weather Outlook” has already been issued for the entire state for the coldest air of the winter season. The entire state will likely find itself below zero Saturday night.
Here is the latest from the National Weather Service:
Hartford/Tolland counties: A quick 1 to 2 inches of snow is possible by this afternoon and then the bitter cold moves in beginning on Friday. A Wind Chill Advisory is expected to be issued this weekend and it’s possible wind chills could reach the warning level at negative 25 degrees on Saturday night. Record cold temps are possible.
On Friday night, temps will be near 13 degrees, Saturday temps will be around 15 degrees and on Saturday night around -7 degrees. Sunday’s highs only are around 10 degrees and once again it’s below zero on Sunday night.
Snow and rain are possible early Tuesday into Tuesday afternoon and evening.
