Here's How Much More Ice We'll See And When It Ends: CT Weather

CONNECTICUT — The storm was a dud when it comes to snow accumulation but unfortunately the icing concerns were real and continue through most of Tuesday. Hundreds of schools are closed across Connecticut.

A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for the entire state. Today will be an icy one for most everyone. The immediate coast will transition to plain rain later this morning.

The Winter Weather Advisory expires for the Connecticut coast at 10 a.m. "Additional snow accumulations of up to one inch and ice accumulations of a light glaze." After 10 a.m. temps will exceed the freezing mark and the ice will turn to rain.

For inland sections of Southern Connecticut, the advisory is in effect until 6 p.m. "Additional snow accumulations of up to one inch and ice accumulations of up to one tenth of an inch."

For, Hartford, Tolland and Windham counties, the advisory is in effect until 7 p.m. " Total snow accumulations of 2 to 4 inches and ice accumulations of up to two tenths of an inch."

And the advisory lasts until 10 p.m. for Litchfield County, where "Total snow accumulations of 1 to 4 inches and ice accumulations of up to two tenths of an inch." (Sign Up For Patch's Free Real-Time News Alerts In CT)

WTNH News 8 Chief Meteorologist Gil Simmons says, "Very icy conditions outside! The rain that is falling is actually freezing on everything! Expect more icing through the morning inland and at the Shoreline. The temperature will get above freezing at the Shoreline later on this afternoon. This whole mess will end later today into the evening. Some sun tomorrow morning followed by late snow squalls. Much colder weather on Thursday with highs only in the teens and 20s."

Big Weather Changes On The Way

Today's ice storm pulls away tonight. Up to a quarter of an inch of ice is expected across the interior where freezing rain will continue through most of the day. Temperatures today will be in the mid 30s across the interior and into the lower 40s along the coast.

Precipitation will end quickly tonight as the low departs the region with a clearing sky. Temperatures will range from the lower 20s to around 30 degrees.

Additional snow showers are possible on Wednesday behind a strong polar cold front. High temperatures in the afternoon will be in the 30s to around 40, but will plummet behind the front into the single digits across the interior and in the teens elsewhere. With gusty winds overnight, wind chill temperatures will be below zero into Thursday morning.

On Thursday, the high temps will only be in the mid 20s and at night temps will drop into the teens. The same is expected on Friday. We'll see the coldest air of the season on Thursday and Friday.
