A storm is bringing heavy rain, thunder and lightning.

Heavy rain developed overnight and storms are bringing thunder and lightning. Most of us should expect one to two inches of rain.

The heaviest rain will fall between until 8 a.m. Friday with occasional showers after that.

Temperatures will be in the mid-60s in parts of the state and the mid-50s for others.

Gusty winds are reaching 40 miles per hour at times.

Eversource is reporting around 2,000 power outages as of 6:45 a.m.

A wind advisory has been issued along the shoreline.

A coastal flood advisory has also been issued for the entire shoreline. Minor coastal flooding is forecast Thursday night for Stamford and Bridgeport. Shoreline locations in New Haven, Middlesex and New London Counties are most at risk for minor coastal flooding.

Metro-North officials said their crews are preparing to respond to possible flooding, fallen trees and broken crossing gates.

Scattered showers will be around on Friday and continue through Sunday, but most of the time, it will be dry, so there's no need to change your plans.

Monday will be sunny for the Boston Marathon.
