Connecticut Weather: More Snow Friday, Super Bowl Sunday

There's more snow on the way for Friday and it looks like we could see snow on Super Bowl Sunday too. Winter is definitely not over....

The Friday morning commute to work and school may end up looking a lot like Tuesday mornings commute. It appears as of now, that a mix of rain and snow will end as all snow early Friday morning and up to a few inches of snow is possible in Connecticut before it ends by late morning.

As we've already seen this week, forecasts change quickly, but it looks like Friday morning may be messy. As of right now, the National Weather Service is predicting a couple of inches of snow for most of Connecticut, while local meteorologists say the exact accumulation will be determined by how soon the rain changes to all snow early Friday.

And if you have plans on Super Bowl Sunday that involve traveling, there may be snow to deal with on Sunday too. Snow could begin in the afternoon and is likely at night. No estimates have been given on how much snow could fall on Sunday/Sunday night.

The National Weather Service says there is a "potential for a few inches of snow" by the end of Friday morning.

Fox 61 Meteorologist said snow "could cause issues for the Friday morning commute. Early thoughts: coating up to several inches possible. (I know what you're thinking...I've heard that before!) Accumulation will hinge on when that changeover occurs. Blustery, colder, clearing by PM."
