This map is still showing a general 3-6 for most of the state with the exception of the coast from New Haven on west. There they should still expect to see 1-3 inches.

There is now a coastal flood advisory posted for the entire shoreline. Minor to moderate flooding is expected in vulnerable coastal areas and shore roads. Locations that are still recovering from hurricane Sandy need to heed warnings and take the necessary precautions.

There is also a wind advisory for sustained winds of 20-30 mph with gusts to 50. This combined with the heavy wet snow will make the chance for power outages to increase into the overnight.

Rain showers will continue into the evening and eventually change over to snow during the overnight period. New Haven and the surrounding area will get 2-3 inches of heavy wet snow tonight.the precipitation will mix with and change back over to rain as temperatures rise above freezing during the day tomorrow. As the storm slowly pulls away, it will interact with an upper level low moving in from the Great Lakes area. This will produce some heavier bands of snow to form back over the area tomorrow night. These could produce another 2-3 inches of snow. The snow will taper off on Friday, and end as a mix of rain and snow or just plain rain showers.

Since it is March, and the sun is getting a little higher in the sky, I don’t expect any snow to stick around for very long after the storm. The weather for the weekend looks beautiful with highs almost near 50 and abundant sunshine.

Enjoy the storm! I will hopefully be able to post again tonight but not until about 10 or 11pm. I am currently boarding a plane to Denver, CO! -SS
