Danbury, CT –Interior sections of southwestern Connecticut, including Danbury and Waterbury, could see light snow accumulations by early Tuesday as a coastal storm passes just offshore.
According to the National Weather Service, snowfall totals between a few tenths of an inch and 2 inches are possible from late Monday night through Tuesday afternoon. Colder inland areas stand the best chance for seeing snow stick, while coastal towns like Bridgeport and Stamford will likely experience mostly rain.
The greatest snowfall risk lies along the I-84 corridor, where early morning road slickness could impact drivers heading toward Hartford or New York. Snow may begin as early as 1 a.m. Tuesday and could last through the morning commute before changing to rain.
Forecasters emphasize the uncertainty in exact totals due to temperature fluctuations near freezing and the storm’s final track. Areas near the coast could still see a brief period of snow before rain dominates.
Residents in inland Fairfield and New Haven counties should prepare for early-morning road impacts, especially in higher terrain. Winter Weather Advisories may be issued Monday if confidence increases.
