Hour-by-hour: Timing out this weekend's nor'easter

Our NBC Connecticut StormTracker meteorologists are tracking a nor’easter that is expected to bring significant snow to most of Connecticut this weekend.

Snow will continue moving through the state this evening. The heaviest snow will happen through midnight.

We also have dozens of closings due to the storm. You can see the full list here.

Most of the state is expected to get between 5 and 10 inches of snow. In some parts of northern Connecticut, there could be as much as a foot of snow.

As you go south in the state, there will be less snow with less than two inches expected along the immediate shoreline in New London County. Two to five inches of snow is expected for New Haven.

There were cloudy and dry conditions Saturday afternoon with temperatures in the mid 30s. The snow began to move into the state in the late afternoon.

Around dinner time, the snow pushed eastward and overspread the state. The snow started coming down heavier around 9 p.m. Snowfall rates between 1" to 2" per hour will be possible, coating the roads quickly.

Here's an hour-by-hour look at what you can expect from the nor'easter:

The heavy snow will continue through about midnight.

During the overnight hours, the snow will come down lighter and more intermittently, and mixed precipitation will likely occur for the shoreline.

Wrap-around snow showers will fill into the state around midday on Sunday. An additional inch or two of accumulation is possible.

By Sunday afternoon, the snow will be much more scattered as it moves out of the state.
