FORECAST: Daylight Saving Time, 2 alerts for separate storms
We have to talk about the weather because that's the big headline. Let's head right over to meteorologist Scott Haney, who is following that early morning weather alert. We have some snow coming our way. Right, Scott? Yeah, a little bit tonight, Nicole, through tomorrow morning. Unfortunately, it's going to be a messy night and very early tomorrow morning. Third shifters are going to have to play accordingly. Let's talk about the parade tomorrow.
Nine, 10 o'clock, the precipitation should still be coming down, although it's going to get lighter and sporadic. We're still expecting just maybe a couple of raindrops, maybe a couple of snowflakes during the kickoff for the parade. And then by 11 noon, one o'clock, we're just under mostly cloudy skies. And it's going to be a cool kind of a raw day tomorrow. So dress accordingly. Hey, don't forget we flipped the clocks ahead an hour before we go to bed. Saturday night, sun is up at 610 tomorrow, sets at 5.
52. Sunday, sun is up at 7.08, sets at 6.54. And don't forget, change those smoke detector batteries. That would be greatly appreciated. All right, we are in alert mode tonight through tomorrow morning.
Steady snow. The heaviest will be in western Connecticut. Lighter amounts in eastern Connecticut. But it will be ploughable, particularly in northwest and southwest Connecticut. The slickest spots will be occurring during tomorrow morning early. That's alert number one. Then we need to talk about alert number two.
This one will be Monday into Tuesday. A long duration storm is going to be moving in. Classic northeaster, wind, rain, snow, just a mess. And where it does snow, it could be a lot of snow. So we'll keep you posted on that. In the meantime, winter weather advisory goes into effect for 6 PM this evening through 10 AM tomorrow. And that is because we're expecting one to three inches of snow in parts of northeast, southeast, central Connecticut, three to five, maybe a locally higher amount in parts of northwest and southwest by tomorrow morning.
In the meantime, our Doppler scans the state drive. Visibility good. No fog to greet us this morning and watch the temperatures climbing into the mid-40s by later on this afternoon. So that's good. That's pretty close to normal. We'll be under mostly cloudy skies. Kids, parents, you'll be outside for recess during the day today.
Temperatures topping out in the low 40s. There is mystic, our eye cam there. Things looking beautiful with a gentle breeze. But look at that skyline in mystic. Temperatures are gained a little bit since we went on the air earlier this morning. We're in the upper 20s right now. 30 in Waterbury, 34 in New Haven, Chester 34.
Typical overnight low is about 26. That's exactly where we were. Now, we're pretty much down from where we were 24 hours ago, anywhere from four to five degrees. So that's a bit unfortunate. But the good news is not a whole lot of wind out there, with the exception of the shoreline, 6 to 12 miles an hour sustained. Here's the satellite and radar. The clouds are certainly on the increase.
You can see the storm system ganging up on us from the southwest, north and west. And that's going to be making a run towards us. So here's early morning futurecast. Tomorrow's weather today. Partial sunshine, still at noon. And then mostly cloudy skies for the latter part of the day. Tonight, this is nine o'clock.
Some rain in the Connecticut River Valley, maybe a little mixing and snow for Northwest Connecticut. And then snow takes over tonight through very early tomorrow morning. This is 7 AM. And then it starts to break down a little bit, hopefully ending just in time for the St. Patrick's Day Parade. All right, let's talk about the temperatures today. 40 to 45.
Clouds on the increase, a calmer wind. And then your seven day forecast includes the snow tomorrow morning. Partial clearing late in the day. Sunday looks good. And then Monday into Tuesday, another mess. That is a classic Nor'easter getting ready to roll into the state with winds, several different types of precipitation. Just a nasty time period.
Monday late through the day on Tuesday. We'll keep you posted on that.
