Our StormTracker meteorologists are tracking our next chance for snow, which could bring several inches to the entire state between Sunday night and Monday morning.
Before that storm system moves in, we will have rain on Saturday afternoon and Saturday night.
Then snow begins Sunday afternoon.
A winter storm watch will be in effect for most of the state, excluding New London County and the immediate shoreline, beginning Sunday and into Monday morning.

Between four and eight inches are expected for most of the state. Mixing with sleet or rain may keep totals slightly lower in southeastern Connecticut.
The meteorologists continue to watch the data and the snowfall predictions could go up or down based on how close a weather system gets to our area.

If the storm forms later and further from us, the snow predictions will decrease, but if the storm forms earlier and closer to us, we could be in for several inches of snow.
Monday is Martin Luther King Jr. Day, so the travel impact is expected to be lower than normal due to less volume on the roads.
Stay tuned as we monitor these chances through the holiday weekend.
Cold weather impact
The governor is activating the severe cold weather protocol from 6 p.m. on Sunday through noon on Friday, Jan. 24.
“Right now, meteorologists are telling us that this coming week may bring the coldest weather that Connecticut has experienced so far this season, so we want to get the word out that being outdoors in these frigid conditions for extended periods can be dangerous and even life threatening,” Gov. Ned Lamont said in a statement.
The wind chills are expected to be below zero as early as Monday night.
“Shelters and warming centers are available across Connecticut, and transportation can be arranged if needed. We also want to remind everyone that leaving pets outdoors in these conditions can cause frostbite and hypothermia just like in humans, which is why everyone should protect their pets from this harsh weather,” he said.
Anyone in need of shelter or warming center is urged to call 211 to get connected to services they can visit 211ct.org to read a list of available shelter. Transportation can be provided if necessary.
