3/20- Say hello to spring with a minor snowfall

HAPPY FRIDAY ALL!

Unfortunately, it'll be a day where the PM commute is a nightmare. A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY is up for the southern four counties, where I expect 2 to 5 inches generally south of Meriden, and 1-2" north of there. I think someone may get 6", but it'll be highly isolated in nature, and the exception rather than the rule. For what it's worth, by the way, this is more likely to bust high than low- I'd be surprised...but not stunned...if most areas got less than that. The heaviest amounts today will undoubtedly be on the shoreline. In fact, some of extreme northeast CT may be hard pressed to see a flake today...whereas areas south of Meriden will be picking up several inches. Snow will develop around 2 from southwest to northeast, and the worst of the snow will fall between 5 and 7 before the storm departs around 10PM tonight. There are several Early Dismissals being called along the shoreline, and I expect that even more schools will dismiss early today as the snow begins, though some areas (especially east of the CT River) should be able to get the full day in before the snow begins to fall.


Regardless of how much snow you get this evening, the weekend should be just fine. Next Wednesday and Thursday, a rainstorm moves through...but that primes the pattern for another snowstorm threat a week from today.
