Winter Storm Warning, Winter Weather Advisory Issued Ahead of Snow

Snow starting around daybreak Monday is expected to gradually move in during your morning commute and drop anywhere from one to eight inches depending on where you are in the state.

The snowfall is expected to begin in the southeastern corner and move inland, becoming the heaviest late morning on Monday. A little break will follow before light flurries stick around in the evening. 

The northwestern part of the state could get one to 3 inches, Central Connecticut down to New Haven county could see 3 to 5 and the northeastern region of the state could see 5 to 8 inches.

The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory for New Haven and Fairfield counties and winter storm warning for Middlesex, Windham and New London counties due to impending snow. both will remain in effect 3 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday. A winter weather advisory has also been issued for Hartford and Tolland counties from 4 a.m. Monday to 7 a.m. Tuesday.

There is also a coastal flood advisory for southern Fairfield County from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday. 

Power company crews have been working around the clock since Friday's snowstorm. Eleven Eversource customers remain without power in Eastern Connecticut due to the snowfall. They are all invdividual cases and crews have been assigned to address the issues. Restoration is expected sometime Sunday. Eversource officials said they hope Monday's storm causes fewer problems because Friday's storm took down a lot of weak trees and branches. 

Accumulating snow and wind is expected, with gusts reaching up to 25 miles an hour, according to the National Weather Service. Visibility could be affected.

Flurries on and off with very light snow through Monday night could linger into the Tuesday morning commute, as well, but there aren't expected to be any significant problems on the roads. 

The storm is trending west, so the predicted impact to Connecticut is subject to change. 

There could be flurries on Wednesday or Thursday as arctic air moves in, dropping temperatures by Friday for the weekend. 

Winter storm watches are also posted for eastern Massachusetts and northern Rhode Island.
