Sunday snow details via the National Weather Service
The National Weather Service said for Hartford/Tolland/Windham counties that “Snow squalls (may) quickly produce 1-2 inches of snow, reduce visibilities, and make driving treacherous. Temperatures are expected to drop quickly behind the front and will result in untreated wet surfaces to freeze. In addition, behind the front, there is the potential for strong westerly wind gusts of 40 to 45 mph.”

In southern Connecticut, the weather service said, “There is a chance of snow showers today, with the potential for snow squalls, especially inland, which may quickly reduce visibilities and produce brief wind gusts near 45 mph. Localized hazardous travel is possible in any snow squalls.” Up to an inch of snow is possible here.
In Litchfield County, the weather service said, “A potent arctic cold front today will likely produce strong snow showers with even potential for snow squalls. The main window of opportunity for any snow squalls will be mainly from 11 AM to 5 PM today. During any snow squalls, brief whiteout conditions are possible due to the combinations of falling snow and windy conditions. Southwest wind gusts will likely reach up to 30 – 45 mph today but wind gusts may briefly reach up to 45 – 50mph behind the front this afternoon.”

TIMING OF THE SNOW SQUALL:
1-2PM western CT, 2-3PM central CT, and 3-4PM eastern CT.
“After that front passes through, even colder air moves in tonight and tomorrow for MLK Jr Day. Tonight will be in the teens but maybe areas will FEEL with that blustery wind like they’re only in the single digits and even near 0! MLK Jr. Monday features a chilly feel, below average temperatures, and a mostly sunny sky.”
“Tuesday looks more promising for snow than 24 hours ago, however it looks mostly light with accumulation. New data suggests we could be seeing it through most of the daytime hours, but it still looks like the storm will be too far away to see anything significant.
“Regardless, as of now it appears that the coldest air of the season will arrive by midweek, with lows in the teens and highs eventually in the 20s! The last time we had a sub-freezing high temperature for the Hartford Areas was back on February 25th of last year. That’s when the high was 22! We’re also watching the end of next week as the pattern remains active. Long range models signal another chance of snow,” WFSB 3 TV meteorologists said. (Read/watch more at WFSB 3 TV).

Fitter and Faster Swim Camps is the proud sponsor of SwimSwam’s College Recruiting Channel and all commitment news. For many, swimming in college is a lifelong dream that is pursued with dedication and determination. Fitter and Faster is proud to honor these athletes and those who supported them on their journey.
Florida high school state bronze medalist Dajah German has announced her verbal commitment to swim and study at the University of Connecticut beginning in the fall of 2027. She publicized the news on SwimCloud, writing:
I am so excited to announce my verbal commitment to continue my academic and athletic career at the University of Connecticut! I’m incredibly grateful for everyone who has supported me throughout this journey, my family, coaches, teammates, and friends who have pushed me to be my best throughout the years. And a very special thank you to Coach Chris and Coach Nicole for believing in me and giving me this opportunity. I’m so excited for what’s ahead. GO HUSKIES!
A rising senior at Fort Lauderdale High School in Florida, German trains year-round with Swim Fort Lauderdale and primarily specializes in the sprint and middle-distance freestyle events.
German has improved each year of her high school career, most recently dropping from 23.78, 51.39, and 1:50.56 in the 50/100/200 free to 23.54, 51.35, and 1:49.69 during the 2025-26 short course season.
German’s top meet of the season was the Florida Senior Championships in March, where she recorded her current PBs in both the 50 and 200 free. She finished second in the 500 free (4:55.94) and 1650 free (17:02.78), third in both the 50 free and 200 free, and fifth in the 100 free (51.43).

In the 500 free, she clocked a season-best 4:55.21 at the Speedo Cup in January, with her lifetime best of 4:53.19 coming at the 2025 Florida Senior Championships.
German has qualified for the FHSAA (Florida High School Athletic Association) State Championships for the past three years, with her top performance coming at the 2025 iteration in November. She placed third in the 50 free (23.96), fifth in the 500 free (5:01.12), and helped Fort Lauderdale to fourth place in both the 200 free relay (24.64 leadoff) and 400 free relay (53.08 anchor).

A Division I Mid-Major program, Connecticut competes in the Big East, with the women’s team placing second out of seven teams at this past season’s conference championships. German’s current lifetime bests would have placed third in the 200 free, fourth in the 500 free, eighth in the 50 free, and ninth in the 100 free, setting her up as an immediate contributor with two full seasons of training still ahead before her first conference meet.
German joins Anna Mumford, Lyla Devlin, Lena Brown, and Louisa Holda in committing to the Huskies’ class of 2031 so far.

WASHINGTON (7News) — A Park Police chase ends with a moped rider getting hit and killed on the Taft Bridge in Northwest D.C.
7News’ Washington, D.C. reporter, Phylicia Ashley, went to the scene moments after it happened Saturday evening and spoke to multiple witnesses.
Ximen DeFillippes was riding her bike near Woodley Road when she saw the chase.

“The Park Police passed me. We were on Woodley Road. And then I saw the car they were pursuing,” said DeFillippes. “It was going very fast on the sidewalk. It drove up on the sidewalk up Woodley Road.”
DeFilippes was on one side of the Taft Bridge.
“I’d never seen anything that crazy,” said DeFillippes. “It was, it was like really like homicidal. It was just insane. I’ve never seen anything like that.”
7News also saw the aftermath of the chase and found Lamont Penry on the other side of the bridge. He also saw the chase. It ended on the steps of the Chinese Embassy staff housing.
“The car crashed into the diplomatic car,” Penry said. “A young man jumps out, takes off running down the street. The other three guys came out kind of dizzy. They apprehended one who was on the bench. One was at the rear. Tire of the vehicle, looked to be a Camry, and the other was on the other side of the diplomatic car.”
In the middle of the bridge, 7News saw the victim’s body covered by a white sheet. Witnesses said that when the chase reached the Taft Bridge, one of the vehicles involved struck someone riding a scooter.
“Once the gentleman on the bridge was hit. We realized that no one stopped,” said Penry. “Police continued the pursuit until here, and then they turned around.”

Penry said all the alleged suspects involved looked young. While on scene, 7News saw one person get arrested and placed in an ambulance.
DeFilippes was riding her bike when she said two cars blocked her from getting caught in the midst of the chase.
“I’m feeling lucky that for those few seconds of my path being kind of blocked,” said DeFillippes. “I’m just so glad that happened. Or else I would have been right there. I’m not at all surprised that someone was hurt. Just. Just from the way everything was unfolding, I could just tell it was going to be bad.
