HARTFORD, CT (WFSB) -

The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning for Hartford, Tolland, Litchfield and Windham counties in advance of Winter Storm Alfred.

A winter storm watch remains in effect for Fairfield and New Haven counties, according to the National Weather Service.

The storm watches and warnings come in advance of Alfred, the first named storm of the winter weather season that's expected to hit the state on Saturday.

Snowfall could accumulate Saturday from as much as a few inches in southeastern Connecticut to more than a foot in some areas of the Litchfield Hills.

Snow could be heavy at times and also mix with sleet and rain in some places. Additionally, winds are expected to be strong, with gusts possibly up to 30 mph.

The early snow could cause problems for motorists out on the roads and bring down tree branches with the possibility of power outages.
