CONNECTICUT — Travel across the state Tuesday morning was a challenge due to black ice reported in spots due to melting snow from Monday.

The state will see some more rain and snow showers on Tuesday but no real snow accumulation is expected. Tuesday's precipitation is expected to be minor.

And on Wednesday we could approach 50 degrees with more sunshine.

WTNH News 8 chief meteorologist Gil Simmons said we can expect light rain and snow between 12 p.m. and 4 p.m.

"This will not impact schools today as temperatures will be up into the 30s to around 40°. Warmer and dry tomorrow with highs in the 40s to near 50°.
