Special Weather Statement Issued for Suffield

Today’s forecast of very light snow will be nothing more than a nuisance for most of Connecticut.

The biggest concern is the timing of the snowflakes, which will likely be falling in time for when people are driving home from work tonight.

Most of the state will see a coating of slushy snow and rain and up to an inch in more inland locations.

Hartford and Tolland counties are likely to receive up to two inches of snow, according to the National Weather Service’s “Special Weather Statement” and “Hazardous Weather Outlook” for those areas.

It also looks like we’re in for a possibly wintry weekend as there is now a 70 percent chance of snow, ice and rain beginning late Friday in Connecticut, turning to plain rain Saturday morning, and likely mixing back to snow and sleet Saturday night. We’ll continue to update that forecast.

Timing of Tuesday’s light snow

Hartford and Tolland counties: An area of snow is expected by late afternoon and there could be some heavy snow squalls too. Accumulations of 1 to 2 inches are likely.

“The snow will impact the evening commute with snow covered roads and poor visibilities,” the National Weather Service writes.
