CT Weather: Up To 8 Inches Of Snow On Super Bowl Sunday

CONNECTICUT — Winter storm warnings and advisories have all been posted for Connecticut in advance of a snow storm scheduled to dump at least a few inches and possibly much more on the state on Super Bowl Sunday.

On Sunday morning, likely after 8 a.m., snow will move into the state and in the late morning and early afternoon hours we could see snowfall rates of 1-2 inches per hour.

This will be a fast-moving storm and most of the accumulating snow will end by the start of the Super Bowl around 6 p.m.

New London and Middlesex counties may see the most snow as they are closest to the storm, while inland sections of Fairfield County may see the least, but even here the prediction calls for 3-6 inches.

Here are the forecast predictions via the National Weather Service:

Coastal parts of Fairfield County and all of New Haven County:

A winter storm warning is in effect from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday. Heavy snow expected. Total snow accumulations of 4 to 8 inches.

"Snowfall rates around 1 inch per hour are expected for a period during the late morning and early afternoon. If heavier snow banding stays south and east of these areas, snowfall amounts would fall to the lower end of the forecast range."
