Connecticut will miss the brunt of the winter storm affecting the mid-Atlantic region, but not all parts of the state will be untouched. The worst will be along the shoreline with the possibility of six to ten inches in some parts. Meanwhile, northern Connecticut may see no accumulation at all.
"It would be pretty remarkable to see us go from zero inches in the north to about nine or ten (inches) along the Connecticut shoreline," said Ryan Hanrahan, meteorologist at NBC Connecticut.
The winter weather that does reach Connecticut is expected to start around midday on Saturday and gradually become heavier throughout the day and into the night.
Bradley International Airport won't be too affected by the storm, unless the flight involves major hubs from New York to North Carolina.
The forecast has been tough for meteorologists this week.
Hanrahan said there is a 25- to 30-mile band where it goes, "from very heavy snow to very little snow so even just a little jog in our computer models only by thirty miles can make the difference between no snow and six or seven inches of snow."
The Washington, D.C. region could see more than two feet of snow starting on Friday. The Metro has shut down the rail and bus system for the weekend.
Whatever snow does accumulate in Connecticut may not last for too long though. Next week, temperatures will reach into the 40s.
