Get Ready: Messy Wintry Weather Expected in Granby, East Granby

A strengthening coastal storm is expected to impact the area Saturday into Sunday, bringing with it rain, sleet and/or snow — depending on how the system tracks.

A strengthening coastal storm system is expected to impact the area from Saturday into early Sunday, according to a hazardous weather report from the National Weather Service.
