WEATHER ALERT: More Snow Forecast for Norwalk on Thursday

Not again!

There is another chance for accumulating snow in the near future as a winter storm could dump up to six inches of snow on Connecticut on Thursday, but the confidence in that prediction currently is low, according to local meteorologists.

Here’s what we currently know about the latest snow threat.

WFSB 3 TV Meteorologist Scott Haney says the state could see between 2-4 or possibly 3-6 inches of new snow accumulation by early Friday morning. The snow could begin after noon on Thursday.

“(Weather) models don’t agree, so confidence is low regarding this part of the forecast,” Haney wrote for WFSB 3.

NBC Connecticut Meteorologist Brad Field says the exact track of the storm will be the key in determining whether we get a few inches or a few snow flurries from this latest snow threat.

WTNH News 8 Meteorologist Gil Simmons is currently predicting a “round of accumulating snow likely” on Thursday.

And after the latest snow chance, it’s going to get cold, really cold, as in temperatures may be -5 to -13 below by Sunday night.

Just a reminder, 38 days from now until spring.
