A special weather statement has been issued for southern Connecticut due to slippery road conditions caused by residual moisture and cold surface temperatures. The light snow and ice have moved on, but numerous school districts have issued delays or closures as a result. The rest of the week is expected to be tranquil with sunny skies, but a potential coastal storm on the weekend could bring snow and wind to the area.

Hazardous driving conditions can lead to increased accidents and traffic delays, prompting school districts to take precautionary measures. The possibility of a weekend storm also raises concerns about potential power outages and travel disruptions.
The details
