A Major Snowstorm is headed for our region. Even though the coastline may have some sleet mix in from time to time, substantial snow accumulations can still be expected in northern areas.

Below are the first thoughts:

Busy Time in the Weather

A storm will deliver light snow accumulations to the Bristol area tonight. Expect the snow to change over to sleet and/or freezing rain around 7AM. Some leftover rain showers will be the main concern for the remainder of the morning.


SNOWFALL FORECAST:

Another substantial snowstorm will impact the region on Friday. Many areas could receive over 6" of new snow by Saturday morning. An updated post will be written tomorrow about that storm's potential.

Wintry Mess Wednesday

A storm system will bring some wintry conditions to our area on Wednesday. Stay tuned as this forecast will be modified as the week progesses:

Major Nor'easter to Strike New England

A major winter storm is headed for New England. With original roots in the Gulf of Mexico, this storm will be dripping full with moisture. However, not everyone will recieve the same type of precipitation. The map below illustrates the current Tyler's Weather.com forecast.

Sections of inland western and inland eastern Connecticut can expect an all-out ice storm. The precipitation will likely begin in the late morning on Thursday as rain. A quick change over to sleet and freezing rain will occur in these portions of the state. However, the shoreline and Hartford valley will remain all rain. As the storm dwindles to an end in the pre-dawn hours of Thursday, everybody can expect some snow. This will not amount to much of any accumulation.

In Bristol, expect over .5 inches of ice accretion. This is significant and precautions should be taken. A slight coating of snow is possible as the storm exits early Friday morning.

There is a moderate chance of No School on Thursday.
