A winter weather advisory has been issued for Hartford County from 1 p.m. Tuesday to 10 a.m. Wednesday. Snow could accumulate 2-3 inches here.

A winter weather advisory has also been issued for Litchfield County as 1-4 inches of snow is expected. The advisory is from noon Tuesday until 10 a.m. Wednesday. "Some sleet or freezing rain could mix in at times Tuesday evening, especially close to Interstate 84," the weather service said.

A hazardous weather outlook remains in effect for Tolland and Windham counties where an inch or two of snow is possible.
