1st part of the storm is over, whats next?

WEATHER ALERTS
A Winter Storm Warning is in effect for:
- N. Litchfield county until 6pm Thursday
A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for:
- S. Litchfield county: 12pm Thursday
- Hartford/ Tolland/ Windham counties: 6am Thursday
- N. Fairfield/ N. New Haven/ N. Middlesex/ N. New London counties until 10am Thursday.

Well today part 1/2 moved through bringing snow widespread through the state, and we received a whole lot of reports. Some reports we have received are at the bottom of this post. Part 2 of this storm, will be a big huge mess. Some sleet, freezing rain, but mostly plain old rain will be moving through. I do expect mix of snow/rain through the day tomorrow, but the chance diminishing as the day goes on. As you could see in the daycast, the percentage of chance of precip starts very high at the beginning of the day, then decreases as the storm moves out. The commute tomorrow will be a huge problem, and schools ran on early dismissal schedules today, and it was a good decision. Tomorrow, schools may close due to the widespread ice throughout the state, and the unclear roads and the timing of the exit of this storm. Which may be in the afternoon hours. Or, if the storm is out, delays may be posted due to slippery roads. Temps tomorrow will be in the low to mid 30s, and shoreline communities will be in the mid to upper 30s. Storm will move out later tomorrow, and then it will be mostly cloudy skies. Friday, looks to be mostly cloudy skies with highs in the 30s and 40s. Then for Saturday, we ware watching another storm, possible thunderstorms due to a front moving through. I will have much more info on this as we get closer to it.

Thanks for reading!
