Steady snowfall early this afternoon will taper to snow showers and flurries by this evening. Snow covered roadways and low visibility will continue to make for locally hazardous travel through the early evening. A coastal low pressure system will bring a light snow accumulation to southeastern areas for Sunday into Sunday evening allowing for some hazardous travel over northwestern Connecticut. Below normal temperatures are expected for much of next week along with opportunities for snowfall from both lake effect and passing clipper systems.
