FORECAST:
The first widespread measurable snow of the region will be coming our way this weekend. Areas that haven't seen snow yet will starting tomorrow night.
A quick moving clipper will slide through the region tomorrow night along with more cold air. There is the chance to see about 1-2 inches of snow, with some areas approaching 3 inches.
Out ahead of this storm, temperatures will warm up a bit. Highs Saturday afternoon will approach 40 degrees.
By Sunday morning, temperatures will be below freezing, and this cold air will help create fluffy snow. The moisture is limited but the colder the air is, the fluffier the snow will be and that's why we may see a couple of inches on the ground.
Stay weather aware to the quick changing conditions in your neighborhood. The snow will fall a bit heavier right before sunrise Sunday morning.
Roads and untreated surfaces will become slippery.
Temperatures will stay cold on Sunday and not warm up above freezing. The winds will also pick up and make it feel even colder. Temperatures Monday morning will be in the teens, but it will feel more like 0 to 5 degrees in Fairfield County due to the wind. Areas in Litchfield County may feel like it's below zero.
This cold snap is brief because later next week, milder temperatures return.
