WINTER STORM Discussion: A Winter Storm Warning is in Effect for the entire state of Connecticut beginning tonight –

Snow starts during the early morning hours and gets quite heavy from just before dawn through the morning rush hour. The vast majority of the state sees 5-6″ of snow by mid morning tomorrow. Just after 9 am – We begin to see a transition and eventual changeover from snow to rain on the coast. The eventual speed and progression of this feature will greatly impact snowfall totals across the state. At this time I still have high confidence in these map totals.

Cold air rushes back in late tomorrow night and could bring some additional light snow accumulations to inland areas. My benchmark across the middle of the tri state is 6″, less in southern areas, more North and West.
