CT Weather: Big Change Predicted For 'Snowy' Friday Forecast

CONNECTICUT — Sorry students and teachers it appears that the Friday storm will be wet and not snowy for most of the state. On Monday, it appeared that Connecticut may see its first snowflakes of the season and there was even the possibility of accumulating snow, especially away from the immediate coast.

But 36 hours later and now it looks like that the track will move more inland which will boost temperatures causing the precipitation to be largely rain as opposed to snowy. Inland and northern areas of the state may see some snowflakes mix in with the rain early Friday but no accumulation is expected.

Far northern areas of Litchfield County may see a minor accumulation of snow and slush, and for the I-95 corridor it's all rain.

The precipitation is expected to begin Thursday evening and end after the morning commute Friday. Temps will only hit 40 degrees on Friday and it will also be very windy too on Friday. (Sign Up For Patch's Free Real-Time News Alerts In CT)

Maybe next week?

A Hazardous Weather Outlook has been issued for Hartford, Tolland and Windham counties because strong northwest winds on Friday may approach wind advisory criteria in some locations.
