Winter Weather Advisory Issued For Hartford, Tolland Counties

HARTFORD/TOLLAND/WINDHAM, CT — The National Weather Service issued a winter weather advisory for accumulating snow for northern parts of the state Friday.

The weather service said snow accumulation of 1 to 3 inches is expected. The snow is forecast to fall from 4 a.m. until noon Friday.

"Plan on slippery road conditions. The hazardous conditions could impact the morning commute," the weather service said. "Main roads will initially be wet, but as temperatures fall below freezing during Friday morning, roads will become snow covered especially secondary roads and any untreated surfaces. If the higher end snow amounts (3 inches) become more widespread, down tree branches and isolated power outages would be possible."

Southern Connecticut hasn't been placed under a winter weather advisory. Instead, the weather service said inland sections of Fairfield, New Haven, Middlesex and New London counties could see a half-inch of snow Friday morning.

No accumulation is expected at the immediate coast or the Interstate 95 corridor.

Once the rain and snow ends, we're looking at record cold temperatures for this time of year, as it will be in the mid-20s Friday night. High temperatures on Saturday will only reach the mid-40s and the cold weather will hang around through Tuesday.
