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.

Residents are advised to get ready and go where they need to be before the storm hits so that they aren't stuck on the roads when the snow begins falling.
