A winter storm warning is in effect in Connecticut for a snowstorm Sunday, the NWS says, with current models predicting up to 10 inches in parts of the state.

The forecast then said that Sunday night has a 50% chance of snowfall. The forecaster's discussion said that some parts of Connecticut and the tri-state area may be affected by the northern side of the precipitation shield, providing the possibility for some light snow, primarily for the coastal areas.

After a sunny and pleasant day Friday in Connecticut, rain and accumulating snow is expected this weekend before deep freeze next week, weather service says.
