Early Week Snowstorm?

In the almost hard to fathom category, it appears it will be too warm for most of Connecticut late Monday and into early Tuesday to produce a major snowstorm.

In northern Connecticut, snow is not expected until around 3 a.m. Tuesday, mixing with sleet by 9 a.m. and then changing over to rain later there.

We’ll keep updating this forecast.
