Snow will begin to fall late Sunday night. That snow will become heavy overnight and into Monday morning before changing to rain for parts of the state Monday.
Most of the state will see an accumulation of heavy, wet snow before the change to rain.
Areas of northwestern Connecticut could see up to six inches of snow. Rain will likely cut down on totals in the rest of the state.
Central Connecticut can expect one to three inches. The southeastern shoreline will experience the least amount of accumulation.
Wind gusts will also be heavy at times.
Moderate coastal flooding is possible for Monday and the First Alert Weather team is watching Monday morning's high tide.
