Winter Weather Advisory, Hazardous Weather Outlook Issued For Southern CT

SOUTHERN CONNECTICUT — A winter weather advisory has been issued for inland sections of Fairfield and New Haven counties, while a hazardous weather outlook has been issued for the remainder of southern Connecticut.

The winter weather advisory is in effect from 4 a.m. to 10 a.m. Friday as freezing rain is expected and a total ice accumulation of a "light glaze" is possible in interior sections of Fairfield and New Haven counties.

For the remainder of southern Connecticut, the National Weather Service said, "Spotty light freezing rain is possible Friday morning, before the precipitation changes over to rain by late morning. Some icy spots are possible."

"Tonight, cloud cover increases in advance of some wet weather as we close out the work week. At the onset, around daybreak tomorrow, some snow/freezing rain could mix in across the Litchfield Hills and in other parts of the state away from the shoreline," said WFSB 3 TV meteorologists. "That’s why we’ve declared tomorrow morning a First Alert Weather Day… otherwise, it’s periods of rain throughout the day with highs near 40. This round is certainly beneficial given our current drought situation. As of now, we’re expecting about a half inch of rain for most of the state. After sunset Friday, the rain could briefly switch to snow before ending. We’re not anticipating any notable accumulation or impact."
