HARTFORD/TOLLAND/WINDHAM COUNTY, CT — The National Weather Service has issued a hazardous weather outlook for Monday and Tuesday saying a "plowable snowfall is possible Monday night into Tuesday..."
"...a plowable snowfall remains possible, with snow covered roads impacting travel Monday night into Tue night, including the Tue morning commute. Still 72-96 hrs out in model time, so this forecast is likely not to verify exactly as is," the weather service said.

"Monday starts dry with some sunshine as clouds build gradually through the day. Right now, all eyes are on a storm system we have issued an *ALERT* for that starts Monday evening and lasts through Tuesday. Based on the latest guidance, it looks like it starts off as snow and possibly could changeover to mix, even rain. There is still too much uncertainty to nail down specific totals but it definitely looks possible to see several inches of accumulation through Tuesday." (Watch the WFSB 3 TV weather forecast here).
