Snow Squalls Forecast On Sunday In Southern CT, Timeline Released

SOUTHERN CONNECTICUT — The National Weather Service said southern Connecticut is expected to see snow squalls on Sunday afternoon, which could lead to hazardous driving conditions.

Beginning after noon Sunday and through 4 p.m. there is a chance for snow squalls to move through the state from west to east.

There could be “locally heavy snow,” and a quick half-inch of snow accumulation, accompanied by 40-50 mph wind gusts, the weather service said.

“Localized whiteout conditions” are possible, the weather service added. “These conditions will last no longer than 15–30 minutes,” the weather service said. “Difficult to locally dangerous driving conditions because (of) whiteout conditions. Snow covered roads and icy conditions may be a concern for interior areas where temperatures are colder before the snow. Coastal areas appear too warm for a flash freeze.”

Here are the forecast details via the National Weather Service:

Tonight: Partly cloudy, with a low around 29. Wind chill values between 20 and 25. West wind 11 to 16 mph, with gusts as high as 31 mph.

Sunday: Scattered snow showers between 10am and 4pm. Increasing clouds, with a high near 35. Wind chill values between 15 and 25. Southwest wind 9 to 16 mph, with gusts as high as 33 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%.

Sunday Night: Mostly clear, with a low around 16. Wind chill values between 5 and 10. West wind 8 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 26 mph.

M.L.King Day: Mostly sunny, with a high near 29. Wind chill values between 5 and 15. West wind around 7 mph.

Monday Night: A 20 percent chance of light snow after 1am. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 20. Southwest wind around 5 mph becoming calm in the evening.

Man Threw Rocks At Home, Deflated Tire: Plainfield Police

PLAINFIELD, CT — A man is accused of throwing rocks at a home and banging on the homeowner’s door, police said.

At 9:37 a.m. Saturday, police received a call for a report of vandalism to a motor vehicle on Church Street in Plainfield.

The caller reported that a Walmart delivery order containing perishable grocery items had mistakenly arrived on their front porch, police said.

The caller reported that upon realizing the items were perishable, the bags were placed inside their refrigerator to prevent spoilage, police said.

“The caller stated that an unknown male had then arrived at their residence and began throwing rocks at the residence, was banging on the door shouting profanities, and deflated a tire on the caller’s vehicle in the driveway,” police said in a news release.

After reviewing surveillance footage, officers made contact with the accused, Kyle Wilczek, 28, at his residence nearby and placed him under arrest without incident, police added.

He is charged with second-degree breach of peace and two counts of third-degree criminal mischief and was released on a $5,000 bond.
