Rich's Local Weather Discussion:
3/12 - 7:28 AM: We have quite an active weather weekend ahead. A major storm system will slowly make its way up the coast today and impact the region all weekend. There will be a variety of hazards with this system, heavy rain (2" to 4") sleet, snow, freezing rain, flooding and wind. There may be a winter weather advisory issued later for some pockets of freezing rain. A flood watch has been issued for the CT coast. A Hazardous Weather Outlook is posted below. All of this begins on Saturday, not much happens until tomorrow. Stay tuned for updates and advisories.

Any showers later this evening could bring some freezing rain to northern areas. While we are sure that a storm is coming, details are not very clear. Some 2" to 4" of rain is possible which may cause a new round of flooding. Extended zone forecasts are available here. Stay tuned to later forecasts.

Scattered light showers will be the rule on and off until Saturday when the intensity increases and rain, heavy is possible, arrives by Saturday night.
