Snow Accumulation Estimates Released For Next Storm In CT

Connecticut will get a brief respite from wintry weather today, but more snow is predicted to fall tomorrow, according to meteorologists.

While today will be dry and sunny for snow removal efforts, the National Weather Service reports “much lighter snowfall” is expected Wednesday due to a clipper system.

Snow will begin in the pre-dawn hours Wednesday and last into at least mid-morning, according to the National Weather Service. The snow is expected to be a wintry mix and then change over to rain in lower elevation areas.

The National Weather Service predicts this next system on Wednesday will bring between one and two inches of new snow along the shore, and two to three inches inland.

WFSB is calling Wednesday a “First Alert Weather Day,” due to the snow.

WFSB’s meteorologists predict the state will get between one and three inches of snow, which could impact the Wednesday morning commute.

According to WTNH, the Wednesday morning snow will arrive between 4 a.m. to 6 a.m., making for a “slick a.m. commute,” potentially impacting school schedules.

WTNH meteorologists predict the snow will end between 10 a.m. and noon, with a fresh snow total of between one and three inches.
According to WFSB, there is a chance for a wintry mix Thursday night, then Friday and the weekend look to be dry and milder.
