Snow is in the forecast for this evening, and dropping temperatures may lead to slippery roads in some places.

Scattered snow showers are expected across New London County sometime in the early evening. Snow may be heavy at times, reducing visibility and coating the ground, according to a special weather statement from the National Weather Service.

Temperatures initially will be above freezing, especially along the coast, allowing the snow to melt on road surfaces. However, forecasters said the temperatures will quickly fall and any wet snow or slush will freeze. Anyone traveling this evening is urged to use extra caution where snow has fallen.
