Freezing rain could create a slippery glaze for most of Connecticut to start off our Saturday.
A winter weather advisory has been issued from 4 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday for all of Connecticut except for the immediate shoreline.
Precipitation is expected to begin overnight as temperatures will be hovering around the freezing mark. This could create conditions for freezing rain to leave an icy coating on the ground for much of the state.
