CT Weather: Updated Snow Accumulation Estimates, Timeline

CONNECTICUT — Another day of snow in Connecticut and some more accumulation by Tuesday evening.

In an updated forecast, WTNH News 8 chief meteorologist Gil Simmons said snow develops this morning and will mix or change to ice/rain along Interstate 95 in the afternoon and will produce a minor accumulation of 1-3 inches.

However, once you move away from the immediate shoreline towns there could be 4-6 inches in interior sections of southern and northern Connecticut, and six plus inches in Litchfield County, Simmons said on his social media.

The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory for everywhere in Connecticut minus the I-95 corridor. The snow is expected to end by early evening.

I-95 corridor:

Snow likely after 9 a.m. and 1-3 inches of snow, ice and rain accumulation. Temperatures will exceed the freezing mark. On Wednesday night, there is a 20 percent chance of snow after 9 p.m. and a 20 percent chance of snow on Thursday. Those odds have dropped considerably over the past 24 hours.

Then there is a 30 percent chance of more snow on Friday and then a potentially bigger storm on the weekend as there is a 50 percent chance of snow on Saturday night and Sunday. Stay tuned.
