Snow Squalls Forecast On Sunday In Southern CT, Timeline Released
SOUTHERN CONNECTICUT — The National Weather Service said southern Connecticut is expected to see snow squalls on Sunday afternoon, which could lead to hazardous driving conditions.
Beginning after noon Sunday and through 4 p.m. there is a chance for snow squalls to move through the state from west to east.
There could be “locally heavy snow,” and a quick half-inch of snow accumulation, accompanied by 40-50 mph wind gusts, the weather service said.
“Localized whiteout conditions” are possible, the weather service added. “These conditions will last no longer than 15–30 minutes,” the weather service said. “Difficult to locally dangerous driving conditions because (of) whiteout conditions. Snow covered roads and icy conditions may be a concern for interior areas where temperatures are colder before the snow. Coastal areas appear too warm for a flash freeze.”
Here are the forecast details via the National Weather Service:
Tonight: Partly cloudy, with a low around 29. Wind chill values between 20 and 25. West wind 11 to 16 mph, with gusts as high as 31 mph.
Sunday: Scattered snow showers between 10am and 4pm. Increasing clouds, with a high near 35. Wind chill values between 15 and 25. Southwest wind 9 to 16 mph, with gusts as high as 33 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%.
Sunday Night: Mostly clear, with a low around 16. Wind chill values between 5 and 10. West wind 8 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 26 mph.
M.L.King Day: Mostly sunny, with a high near 29. Wind chill values between 5 and 15. West wind around 7 mph.
Monday Night: A 20 percent chance of light snow after 1am. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 20. Southwest wind around 5 mph becoming calm in the evening.

If you’re looking for the best barbecue restaurant in the state, you may have to drive to the state’s capital.
Business Insider identified the most beloved barbecue spot in each state, including Connecticut.
“Our list includes barbecue destinations with historical or regional significance and devoted national or local followings,” Business Insider said. “Many of the spots or their pitmasters have won major accolades, and some have appeared on mainstream TV shows.”
Business Insider’s choice for the most iconic place for barbecue in Connecticut is a specific location of a chain restaurant that has multiple stores in the Constitution State.
Here’s what Business Insider had to say about Bear’s Smokehouse Barbecue, and why it might be worth the extra trip to Hartford, Connecticut.
Bear’s Smokehouse — Hartford, Connecticut
Business Insider said the Hartford location is the most iconic Bear’s Smokehouse in Connecticut. However, Bear’s has locations in Windsor, New Haven, South Windsor, and Storrs (although that one is in a University of Connecticut Student Union).
“Local outlet Hartford Courant named Bear’s Smokehouse the best ribs and best food truck in the state,” Business Insider said. “USA Today also named it one of the best restaurants in the country in 2026 (albeit, one of the North Carolina locations).”
Chain restaurant or not, this location’s menu appears to have all the goods that make a barbecue restaurant great: beef brisket, burnt ends, pulled pork, and turkey breast, all done up in a Kansas-City style of barbecue that would make Ted Lasso proud.
They also offer some innovative takes on hearty dishes like poutine with Bear Style Poutine, which comes with fries, spicy cheese curds, brisket gravy, and your choice of meat.
You can find Bear’s Smokehouse at 25 Front St, Hartford, Connecticut.
They open at 11 a.m. on weekdays and weekends but their closing hours vary depending on the day.

Connecticut Technical Education and Career System under investigation by U.S. Department of Education
(WFSB) – The Connecticut Technical Education and Career System is under investigation by the United States Department of Education.
In a letter sent to the superintendent obtained by Channel 3, the nature of the investigation centers around the district’s handling of rape and/or sexual assault cases by school staff.
“Due to the District’s inaccurate responses to the rape and/or sexual assault data elements involving allegations against school staff of OCR’s 2023–24 Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC), the directed investigation will examine whether the District has policies and procedures in place to ensure accurate data collection and reporting and that its handling of the sexual harassment, including sexual assault, of students by District teachers, administrators, and/or staff members is consistent with the requirements of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (Title IX) and its implementing regulation,” said the letter in part.
