Welcome back, Southampton! Here's everything you need to know to get this day started. Here are the most important things going on today in Southampton.

First, today's weather:

Becoming windier and milder. High: 46, Low: 38.

Here are the top stories today in Southampton:

1. Altanasia Warren, 25, of Ridge was found "keeping a 10-month-old puppy inside of a metal crate outdoors — in such confined quarters that it prevented the animal from standing, turning around, or laying down," Suffolk police said. "Brookhaven Town Animal Rescue investigated a complaint that Warren had been keeping the mixed-breed female dog's paws covered in feces, its underbelly stained with urine, and they took it from her." Warren was charged with torturing, injuring, and or not feeding an animal, a misdemeanor, and not providing appropriate shelter for a dog, a violation, under the state's agriculture and markets law on Jan. 13, police said.
