Connecticut residents are bracing for another potential major snowstorm as forecast models show conflicting predictions for next week's weather. After a relatively warm weekend with temperatures in the 40s, colder air will move in Sunday, setting the stage for possible significant snowfall.

Weather models are divided on the storm's path. The GFS model has shifted south, showing minimal snow for Connecticut on Monday, while the European model keeps the state dry until Tuesday. However, meteorologists remain cautious, noting this winter's pattern of last-minute forecast changes, including the dramatic shift before last week's blizzard.

Ensemble forecasts provide some clarity, with the GFS ensemble showing a 40-50% chance of at least 6 inches of snow, while the European ensemble indicates less than 20% probability for similar accumulation. The AI-enhanced GFS model, introduced by NOAA in 2025, predicts only minor snowfall of an inch or two. With such significant model disagreement, forecasters emphasize that both scenarios remain possible until the storm's track becomes clearer in the coming days.
