A strong storm system will track up the east coast and result in many impacts here in Connecticut. The latest track has the storm staying to the west of Connecticut which will ultimately usher in some milder air and result in a transition from snow to sleet and eventually over to plain rain.
A brief period of snow will be seen at the onset of the storm before the quick transition to plain rain. The most snowfall will be seen in northwest Connecticut where 3 to 6 inches of snow could fall before the transition over to rain there as well.
Two additional impacts are coastal flooding and strong winds.
