With the first significant snow event of the season bearing down on Connecticut, the local outlook for Milford and Orange remains uncertain.
The National Weather Service has issued several weather advisories for the area, with the most recent at 9:36 a.m. predicting up to four inches of snow and winds gusting as high as 35 miles per hour.
The NWS has also issued a coastal flood advisory suggesting that there could be minor flooding of up to 1.5 feet above ground level in some low-lying areas.
The storm is expected to begin early Saturday evening and taper early Sunday afternoon. Areas along the coast will likely see wet snow mixed with rain. Snow totals are predicted to be higher inland, with up to a foot in far northern portions of the state.
