"Powerful Weekend Storm Brings Heavy Rain and Strong Winds to CT"

A storm system is expected to hit Connecticut on Sunday night, bringing high winds and heavy rain that could lead to flooding and scattered power outages. Eversource, the power company, is preparing for potential restoration efforts by monitoring forecasts and bringing in outside crews. The storm is forecasted to bring the heaviest rain between midnight and the Monday morning commute, with wind gusts possibly exceeding 50 mph along the shoreline. While most trees have shed their leaves, the combination of high winds and rainfall could still cause isolated power outages. Residents are advised to assemble storm kits, charge electronic devices, and create emergency plans. A flood watch will be in effect for certain counties, with 2 to 3 inches of rain potentially causing river and creek flooding.
