BLIZZARD UPDATE: The National Weather Service has issued a blizzard warning for southern Fairfield and New Haven counties starting today 1 p.m. to Monday 6 p.m. Winter Storm Warnings elsewhere.

This morning, the forecast remains on track for a major snowstorm in Connecticut. A Blizzard Warning goes into effect from 1 p.m. this afternoon through 6 p.m. Monday, while inland areas remain under a winter storm warning.

For those concerned about travel today, the storm will begin between 7 a.m. and 8 a.m. with wet, slushy snow that should remain manageable if drivers take it slow. However, conditions will take a sharp turn for the worse after 3 p.m. as gusty winds and heavier snowfall begin to make travel difficult. Be where you need to be by 3 p.m. today and plan on being ready to stay there into Tuesday!

If you have property along the Sound, take the time to secure it! Coastal flood warnings are in effect 12am-5am Monday for the potential of 2.5 feet of inundation. In Bridgeport a "Top 7" or even "Top 5" high tide can't be ruled out.

The most dangerous period is expected between 11 p.m. tonight and 7 a.m. Monday, when the storm reaches its peak intensity. During this window, snow rates of 1–3" per hour combined with wind gusts up to 55 mph will create treacherous conditions where plows may struggle to keep up, posing a high risk of drivers becoming stranded. While the snow will begin to taper slightly after 7 a.m. on Monday, travel will remain tough throughout the day due to significant blowing snow. Total accumulations are currently projected at 16–24", with highest amounts further south, while subtle shifts in the track are possible, we are locked in for a major impact event.
