Friday, January 7, 2022 Connecticut Snowfall Forecast

For snow lovers, unfortunately, this storm will just get going a bit too late and a bit too far southeast to deliver a big hit to Connecticut. While computer forecast models have struggled (and continue to do so a bit) with the exact evolution of the storm, there is a consensus things just won't transpire in time for a bigger hit. 

Forecast models do brush some decent lift across Connecticut as the low pressure passes well to the south and east. Given the strong upper-level jet dynamics and favorable jet placement, the state will be under the presence of upper-lever divergence which will help enhance the development of snow as the low passes by. This will bring a several hour period of light-to-moderate snow through the state.

What to Expect:

• Snow starts: Midnight - 3:00 AM EST Friday 
• Snow ends: By noon 
• Heaviest snow: 4:00 - 7:00 AM EST (rates up to 0.50'' per hour). 
• Expect delays to the morning commute. Plan for delays.
