Late Winter Storm to Bring Snow, Ice

A late-winter storm that is expected to arrive Monday night will drop some 6 to 10 inches of snow on the Milford area, as well as freezing rain.

The National Weather Service on Monday morning issued a Winter Storm Warning for a significant storm. The warning period will take effect at 9 p.m. Monday and extend through 8 p.m. Tuesday.

The warning states: "A coastal storm will move across the southern New England coastline tonight and Tuesday and deliver a period of heavy snow followed by sleet, freezing rain and then all rain for some locations. The final snowfall totals will be determined by the timing of the transition from all snow to mixed precipitation. This will result in treacherous travel conditions later tonight into at least Tuesday morning. There will likely be a high impact on the Tuesday morning commute across much of interior southern New England."

WHDH TV is forecasting the heaviest snow will begin about 2 a.m. Tuesday.
