Nor'Easter Could Slam Parts of Connecticut With More Than a Foot of Snow

NBC Connecticut meteorologists are forecasting a major storm to develop off of the east coast early next week.

A strong storm is expected to form and move off of the northeast coast late Monday into Tuesday. The storm is expected to intensify into a strong storm with heavy rain, strong winds and the potential for heavy wet snow.

Parts of extreme northwestern Connecticut could see anywhere from 12-18 inches of snow. Higher elevations in other parts of the state could see 6-12 inches. Areas in the valleys and closer to the shoreline should expect lower totals.

The storm will spread rain and wind into the state on Monday afternoon with the peak of the storm (and possible change to wet snow) likely on Tuesday.
