WESTPORT–Arctic temperatures, high winds and precipitation will produce unusually harsh conditions tomorrow into Monday.

The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning from 3 a.m. Sunday, Jan. 25 to 6 p.m. Monday.

Heavy snow is expected, with total snow accumulations between 10 and 16 inches. 

Late Sunday afternoon into Sunday evening, sleet may mix in with the snow near the water

In addition to snow-covered roads, drivers tomorrow should expect periods of extremely low visibility. 

Already in the midst of a severe cold weather protocol period, Governor Lamont today issued an advisory about Sunday’s weather:  

“By noon on Sunday we are expecting snowfall to come down at very fast rates and continuing throughout the afternoon and evening and into the early hours of Monday morning, significantly impacting roads and creating whiteout conditions at times, We are strongly urging everyone to make plans in advance to avoid all unnecessary travel on Sunday. Our state snowplow fleet is prepared to clear the roads, and the fewer cars are out there the quicker and safer the snowplow crews can do their work.”

Sunday closures:

• The Westport Library
• Westport Public Schools
