Impacts of Developing Nor'Easter Uncertain

A nor'easter developing along the mid-Atlantic is forecast to hit the Connecticut area Wednesday morning, but exactly how bad it will be is still up in the air.

With the storm expected to intensify as it slowly tracks east, the National Weather Service today issued a Hazardous Weather Outlook for Northern Connecticut.

"Heavy snow may impact parts of Southern New England," the weather service said. "However, uncertainty remains high on snowfall amounts and location of rain-snow line. Snowfall may be heavy and wet, possibly resulting in power outages."
