Snow Likely, But How Much?

As of Sunday night, the National Weather Service (NOAA) has predicted a “chance” of snow on Monday and is saying snow is “likely” for Ledyard on Tuesday. Accumulation is expected to be low, according to NOAA although the Weather Channel is predicting less than one inch of snow for Ledyard with a 60 percent chance of snow on Tuesday.

For coastal Connecticut, NOAA stated that temperatures are going to be “right on the boarder of a rain/snow mix event.” The fast-moving storm looks like it will start as a mix, transitioning to rain on Tuesday they stated, and end as a mix on Tuesday night. If a heavier band of precipitation sets up, NOAA said Ledyard could see a brief period of snow but accumulation will only be less than one inch.
