An Alberta clipper is set to sweep through Connecticut on Tuesday morning, bringing a light snowfall to the region. A winter weather advisory has been issued specifically for northern Fairfield County as residents prepare for the winter weather.
Snowfall is expected to begin around daybreak and continue throughout the afternoon. While this event will not present a major storm, it has the potential to cause driving difficulties, particularly in the morning hours. As temperatures rise into the middle 30s during the day, accumulation may be limited later on.
In anticipation of the snowfall, numerous schools have opted to close their doors. Northern Connecticut is forecasted to receive 1 to 3 inches of snow, while central and southern areas may see only a dusting to an inch. Along the shoreline, rain could mix in with the snow, complicating the precipitation dynamics.
Looking ahead, fair weather is anticipated for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, offering a brief respite from wintery conditions. However, another weather system may approach by the end of the week, bringing the possibility of a wintry mix. As residents brace for the snowfall, safety precautions on the roads will be essential, but the festive spirit remains bright with clear skies expected for the holiday.
