Snow and Wintry Mix Could Lead to Slick Travel Tuesday in Connecticut. Here's How Much is Expected. A winter storm is expected to bring snow and a wintry mix to Connecticut on Tuesday, potentially leading to slick travel conditions. According to the National Weather Service, a low-pressure system will move into the region bringing rain and snow showers throughout the day. The rain is expected to start falling around 6 am, with temperatures hovering around freezing. As the day progresses, the rain will change over to a wintry mix of sleet and freezing rain, making roads slippery. The wintry mix is expected to continue through the evening hours before transitioning back to snow by nightfall. The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory for much of the state, including Fairfield, New Haven, Hartford, Middlesex, New London, Tolland, and Windham counties. The advisory is in effect from 6 am to 10 pm on Tuesday. As for the amount of precipitation expected, the National Weather Service is calling for 1-3 inches of snow accumulation across much of the state, with higher amounts possible in some areas. The wintry mix is also expected to leave behind a layer of ice and sleet on roads and sidewalks, making travel hazardous. Residents are advised to exercise caution when traveling Tuesday, especially during the evening commute. Motorists should slow down, use low gear and avoid sudden turns or braking. Pedestrians should also be careful, as black ice can be difficult to spot. The winter storm is expected to clear out by Wednesday morning, leaving behind cold temperatures and sunny skies.#Connecticut #National_Weather_Service #Fairfield_County #New_Haven_County #Hartford_County #Middlesex_County #New_London_County #Tolland_County #Windham_County
