Connecticut wind chills are below zero Tuesday morning as the extreme cold will continue this week from an arctic air mass, weather service said.

Connecticut faces a deep freeze with sub-zero wind chills from an arctic air mass this week after a winter storm brought several inches of snow on Sunday.

Relatively mild temperatures mostly in the low 40s are expected Monday in Connecticut before a cold front arrives later in the day, weather service said.

An arctic blast is set to bring subzero wind chill temperatures in Connecticut. Meteorologists tell us how to prepare.

Connecticut may see a snowy dusting Saturday morning, according to the National Weather Service. Starting at 3 a.m., a slight chance of snowfall is predicted with a 20% chance of precipitation, according to the NWS. Temperatures are expected to be as low as 24 degrees.

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.

Light snow is expected Saturday morning in Connecticut that may cause slippery roads conditions, the weather service said.

A weekend storm could bring up to a foot of snow to Connecticut on Sunday ahead of a deep freeze expected next week, officials said

Much of the tri-state is under a winter storm warning for a snowstorm Sunday that could bring the most accumulating snow to the area in nearly three years. Snow began falling heavier after 4 p.m. as temperatures began drop leading to more accumulations.

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.

Connecticut towns experienced significant snowfall from the storm that swept through the region on Jan. 19 and 20. Towns in Hartford County recorded some of the highest totals in the state, with North Canton and Glastonbury Center each receiving 6 inches,

Connecticut’s severe cold weather protocol, which Governor Ned Lamont activated Sunday night, makes sure everyone who seeks shelter has a place to go.
