Cooler air will begin to move into the state by Sunday and Monday, but nothing overly cold. Highs will drop into the 40s, which is still well above average.
A Winter Storm Watch has been issued for parts of Fairfield, Hartford, Litchfield, Middlesex, New Haven, New London and Windham counties starting Monday night.
By Tuesday, an area of low pressure will move up the coast with snow likely by Tuesday morning.
There is the potential for a period of heavy snow with significant accumulation. The exact storm track is still in question and will determine amounts and if there will be any mixing with rain, especially at the coast.
