Governor Ned Lamont announced that due to an updated weather forecast showing that the current stretch of brutally frigid conditions Connecticut is experiencing will continue for at least another day longer than anticipated, he is extending the duration of the state’s severe cold weather protocol to remain in effect until noon on Saturday, January 25.
The protocol had originally been set to expire on the afternoon of Friday, January 24.
While activated, the protocol initiates a series of actions to ensure that the most vulnerable populations receive protection from the severe cold.
Shelters and warming centers are open throughout Connecticut. Anyone in need of a place to stay warm can be directed to nearby locations by calling 2-1-1.
