A line of strong storms caused damage in some towns Monday afternoon.
Woodbridge and Newtown both saw some significant damage.
Amity Road in Woodbridge was closed near Burnt Swap Road because of wires across the road. A NBC Connecticut crew on scene reported major traffic delays in the area. Police, fire and power crews on scene worked to repair the damage. No injuries were reported.
Seymour Road in Woodbridge was also closed for a downed tree.
Button Shop Road in Newtown was closed from South Main Street to Little Brook Lane due to trees that came down on power lines. Officials said the trees did catch fire at one point but no one was harmed. Eversource was called in to repair the damage.
A large tree was cracked in half by the powerful storm on Pocono Road in Newtown but area residents said nothing else was damaged by the tree coming down.
After the first line of storms around 4 p.m., Eversource was reporting scattered outages with around 1,900 without power, including more than 700 customers in Monroe. United Illuminating reported nearly 1,300 without power around 4 p.m.
As of 11:30 p.m. Eversource was reporting around 900 without power and UI was reporting around 40 customers out.
After Monday, the dew point will taper off and give relief from the humidity.
Tuesday looks mostly sunny with highs in the low 90s. Wednesday also looks sunny with temps dropping slightly. By Friday temperatures will have dropped to the upper 80’s.
