Special Weather Statement Issued For Hartford/Tolland County

HARTFORD/TOLLAND/WINDHAM COUNTY, CT — The National Weather Service on Sunday morning issued a special weather statement for northern Connecticut.

"A strong frontal boundary could bring scattered snow showers and a few heavier snow squalls Sunday afternoon. Greatest confidence are areas of interior southern New England. Snow squalls quickly produce 1-2 inches of snow, reduce visibilities, and make driving treacherous. Temperatures are expected to drop quickly behind the front and will result in untreated wet surfaces to freeze. In addition, behind the front, there is the potential for strong westerly wind gusts of 40 to 45 mph."

Forecast details:

Today: A slight chance of snow before noon, then a chance of rain between noon and 4pm, then scattered snow after 4pm. Increasing clouds, with a high near 36. Breezy, with a southwest wind 9 to 14 mph increasing to 16 to 21 mph in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 40 mph. Chance of precipitation is 40%. Little or no snow accumulation expected.

Tonight: Mostly clear, with a low around 17. West wind 7 to 15 mph.

M.L.King Day: Mostly sunny, with a high near 30. Southwest wind 6 to 10 mph.
