Here's How Much More Snow Will Accumulate Sunday: New Details Released

CONNECTICUT — A winter storm warning remains in effect for Hartford, Tolland, Windham, and Litchfield counties, while a winter weather advisory is in effect for inland sections of southern Connecticut.

No snow advisories are in effect for the coastal towns in southern Connecticut, though some snow accumulation is possible here too. (See below for specific details).

WFSB 3 TV meteorologists said "After an early morning lull, precipitation fills in as the morning progresses, leading to poor visibility and additional accumulation (2-4″). This is due to the center of Aspen (an area of low pressure) intensifying as it slowly moves northeast and away from CT. Also, temperatures drop as the wind switches to the north/northwest. We’re starting the day in the low to mid-30s... by this afternoon, temps will be in the mid-20s! Residual moisture or anything that is not cleared and dry will re-freeze. So be careful, watch for developing icy conditions on untreated roadways.

"When it comes to snow totals: We’re expecting 6-10″ along and northwest of I-84. Throughout Litchfield County we’ll likely eclipse 12″ of snow, this part of the state will get the most. Towns throughout the Quiet Corner will fall in the 6-10″ range, too. Forecast totals of 3-6″ are expected in the Greater Hartford Area, as well as for inland sections of New Haven, Middlesex, and New London Counties. Mixing along the shoreline and in southeastern Connecticut will keep totals lower, ending in the 1-3″ range with the snow on the back end of the storm. The wind could gust to around 30 mph. So, while there could be isolated power outages, we’re not anticipating widespread issues." (Read/watch more at WFSB 3 TV).
