Weather Watch: Winter storm Monday & Tuesday

The worst of the cold will be behind us Sunday as we see temperatures in the upper 20s, more clouds and a little less wind.

Then we're on the WEATHER WATCH for Monday as the potential for a widespread heavy accumulating snow event is becoming more likely. A Winter Storm Watch has been posted for the entire state for Monday / Tuesday.

Snow could start as early as Monday morning for southwest CT but may take until Monday afternoon before filling into the rest of the state.

The heaviest snow will be Monday afternoon through Tuesday morning. There is also a chance that the snow could mix with and or change to sleet and rain for a brief period late Monday night before changing back to snow by Tuesday morning across SE CT.

So right now the possibility for widespread 8-10" is possible with some localized smaller amounts like in SE CT

If the storm tracks closer to the coast then more of CT could see that icy mix, if the storm tracks further off-shore than coastal CT could get the heaviest snow. There is still plenty of wiggle room for changes in the storm track. We'll adjust as needed and get more specific throughout the rest of this weekend.

"Warmer" weather follows by the end of next week with temperatures rebounding into the 40s with a couple of chances for some rain showers.
