Mostly sunny and mild Tuesday for Connecticut
News 12 Storm Watch Team Meteorologist Michele Powers says it will be a mostly sunny and mild Tuesday for Connecticut.
HEADLINES: The new year is starting off a bit colder, but drier. Possible snow/rain chances later in the week .
WHAT’S NEW: Drier weather is taking over for now, but there is a chance of snow this week or perhaps next weekend.
While it will be dry and seasonable the next couple of days, temperatures are trending a bit cooler this week and the weather pattern still remains somewhat active. That means if and when these impulses develop into storms, the temperature profile of the atmosphere will need to be watched closely. It’s all about 32 degrees and when conditions are right, some of that rain could be ice or snow.
The News 12 Storm Watch Team is tracking a front on Wednesday night and Thursday right now for the possibility of some rain or snow showers. Temperatures look cold enough, especially at night and it looks like broken showers will be around.
Another storm for next weekend is also on the table.
WHAT’S NEXT: With a cold shot of air coming to the region Thursday, temperatures will fall into Friday and the weekend. While this isn’t big time significant cold, it’s still cold enough that a potential coastal storm next weekend could have some mixed precipitation with it. This is still too far out to nail down exactly what it will be. The exact track and timing will slowly come together the next few days, so stay with the News 12 Storm Watch Team.

After the Atlanta Dream made the move to bring Angel Reese in from Chicago, many people wondered what Brittney Griner’s future would look like. The All-Star center moved from Phoenix to Atlanta in 2025 for a new opportunity, and was a big a part of the overhauled team that ended the regular season as the three-seed. Yet, with Brionna Jones and now Reese leading their frontcourt, Griner’s role was about to be significantly reduced.
She’ll now make the move to the Connecticut Sun, joining the franchise for their last season in New England before they make the move to Houston.
Grading Brittney Griner to the Sun: B-
Griner transitioned from a starting role to a reserve for the Dream in 2025, a process that saw her production drop from her usual standard. Still, at 6-foot-9, she will be a commanding presence in the paint no matter where she goes. Presumably, she will resume her place as a starter role on a very young Connecticut team, taking on a veteran leadership position.

There is no indication of the length of Griner’s deal with the Sun franchise, but this seems to be a bigger move to ultimately get her on the team when they move to Houston. Griner is from Houston, and once the Sun make the move in 2027, Griner could play the final years of her career in her hometown.
So, is this a win-now move? Not really, as Connecticut isn’t in a win-now position — they are tied with the Chicago Sky for the worst title odds in the WNBA at +50,000, per our friends at FanDuel — and Griner alone won’t change that. Yet, she will have a big impact on the younger players, be a good vet for them, and set herself up for a homecoming.
