Everyone else is expected to see a cold rain before it tapers off Sunday evening. More than an inch of rain is expected for Connecticut.

The National Weather Service says, "High pressure will briefly build in today providing a sunny and dry start.

It is possible that far northwestern zones see a brief period of freezing rain overnight into Sunday morning. Rain will continue into the early part of Sunday before moving out Sunday afternoon."

For Hartford County, the weather service says, "Hazardous travel is possible from a light wintry mix of light snow and light freezing rain Saturday night into Sunday morning. The wintry mix should change to rain late Sunday morning."
