A storm system brought heavy drenching rain to Connecticut and temporarily suspended Metro-North New Haven line service on Friday.

Heavy rain will slowly start to wind down overnight, but additional pockets of flooding are still expected as we head into Saturday morning.

River flooding is a concern overnight. Some areas to keep an eye on are the Farmington, Still, Housatonic and Pomperaug rivers.

There were periods of very heavy rain throughout the day. Several inches of rain have already fallen, and more is expected.

Flash flood warnings were issued for parts of Fairfield and New Haven counties but have since expired. Flood warnings issued for Hartford and Tolland counties have also expired.

Metro-North said New Haven and Harlem line service was temporarily suspended, but has since reopened.

Several towns across Connecticut are dealing with the result of heavy rain causing damage and flooding.

The storm will linger into Saturday, but the amount of rain will diminish as we head into the afternoon hours. Sunday will be the better of the two weekend days.
